The effect of input-trade liberalisation on farm and non-farm labour in Vietnam
研究了化肥贸易自由化对越南农村家庭农业和非农业劳动力参与的影响，发现自由化增加了农业就业，但对非农就业无显著影响，且水稻部门有补偿效应。
We assessed the impact of trade liberalisation-induced variation on the price of chemical fertilisers on farm and non-farm labour in rural Vietnam. Building on a non-separable agricultural framework, some theoretically based hypotheses are tested through a panel estimation. The estimations control for household fixed effects and possible selection bias linked to labour market regimes. We found that the liberalisation increased rural household participation into farm employment while non-farm participation was generally unaffected. Nevertheless, we also found that the liberalisation in the rice sector had a compensating effect. Some heterogeneous impacts related to the various labour market regimes were also found.
