Fairness and Efficiency in Smallholder Farming: The Relation with Intrahousehold Decision-Making
通过乌干达西部农业家庭的实验，研究家庭内部决策如何影响农业投资和资源分配的公平与效率，发现合作与公平共享促进投资，而丈夫的搭便车行为仅促进经济作物投资但不公平。
Agricultural households face collective action dilemmas when making decisions about investments in their common household farm and the allocation of resources and benefits derived from it. We relate intrahousehold decisions, as measured in a lab-in-the-field experiment conducted with spouses in agricultural households in western Uganda, with actual investments and intrahousehold resource allocation. Intrahousehold decision-making that supports cooperation and equitable sharing is associated with greater investment in the intensification of cash and food crop production, and more equitable access and control over income. Freeriding behaviour by husbands is associated with the intensification of cash crop production, but not with equitable sharing.
