Weather Shocks and Labor Allocation: Evidence from Rural Brazil
研究了降雨冲击对巴西农村家庭工作决策的影响，发现干旱月份增加会促使农户从事非农工作、减少农业就业占比，以缓解天气冲击的后果。
We examine the effects of rainfall shocks on household work decisions in Brazil. We show that rural farming households increase labor supply in non‐agricultural sectors during drought episodes. An additional drought month per year is associated with greater likelihood of holding more than one job, lower share of agricultural employment, and more time spent performing a secondary job. Together, these findings suggest that households alter their labor decisions to mitigate the consequences of weather shocks.
