How Valuable Is On‐Farm Work to Farmers?
估计了一个允许农民对农场工作有特殊偏好的农村家庭模型，使用法国数据复制了农场家庭劳动力隐含工资显著低于非农工资的发现，并估计了男女对农场工作偏好的下界。
In this article, we estimate a rural houschold model that allows specific tastes for working on‐farm and can fit the data as well as the general model of Lopez. We use two samples that are matched by individual characteristics and adopt the method for matched surveys proposed by Arellano and Meghir. We replicate using French data, the empirical finding of Elhorst who reports evidence that implicit wages of on‐farm family labor are significantly below off‐farm wages. We then provide estimates of the lower bounds for preferences for on‐farm work for males and females which are significant and positive.
