Relative Growth of Subsidiary Farming in Post-Soviet Economies: A Labor Supply Story
用农业家庭模型分析后苏联家庭劳动力供给变化,发现工资和养老金不确定性增加附属农业劳动时间,工资支付概率下降既增加附属农业时间也减少工资工作时间。
An agricultural household model (AHM) is applied to analyze the changes in labor supply of post-Soviet households. Extensions of the model are presented in which wage and pension arrears are modeled as income uncertainty. Considering two models, one for wage earning households and another for pensioners, we find that wage and pension uncertainties increase subsidiary farming hours and so does a mean-preserving spread in the distribution of pensions. A decline in the probability of receiving wages not only increases subsidiary farming hours but also reduces wage work hours.
