Fishing and Nonfishing Income Decisions: The Role of Human Capital and Family Structure
研究资源依赖型家庭如何联合决策汇款需求与非资源劳动供给，基于马来西亚数据发现教育程度更高的家庭更少进行收入多样化，但家庭结构会改变这一关系。
Resource-dependent households often diversify their income. We model demand for remittances and supply of off-resource labor as a joint decision, and discuss household trade-offs. We extend the off-farm labor supply literature to a rural fishery, contrasting our results to common findings in the farm literature and providing empirical evidence of the interdependence between education and family structure in determining income diversification. Using a unique dataset from Malaysia, we find that more-educated households are less likely to diversify their income, with caveats depending on family composition. Policy implications for resource management in a remittance economy with alternative livelihoods are discussed. <i></i>
