Farm Income Variability and the Supply of Off-Farm Labor
If farmers are risk averse, greater farm income variability should increase off-farm labor supply. This effect is confirmed for a sample of Kansas farmers. Off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses is also found to be significantly influenced by farm experience, off-farm work experience, farm size, leverage, efficiency, and farm-specific education. In addition, farm operators and spouses...
متن کاملFamily Labor Supply and Aggregate Saving
I study the impact of idiosyncratic risk on savings and employment in a small open economy populated by two-member families. Families incur a fixed cost of participation when both members are employed. Because of market incompleteness and information asymmetries, this cost coupled with labor market frictions can generate multiple equilibria. In particular, there might be one equilibrium with hi...
متن کاملOff-Farm Labor Supply and Fertilizer Use
I develop a two-period stochastic dynamic programming model to explain the interaction between fertilizer use and off-farm labor supply. I use a well-known sample of farmers in the semi-arid tropics of India to test the model. I find that fertilizer use responds strongly to wages in the village labor market and that irrigation raises fertilizer use, while larger farmers use less fertilizer than...
متن کاملLabor-Saving Architecture: An Object-Oriented Framework for Networked Software
Developing software for networked applications is hard and developing reusable software for networked applications is even harder. First, there are the complexities inherent to distributed systems, such as optimally mapping application services onto hardware nodes, synchronizing service initialization, and ensuring availability while masking partial failures. These complexities can stymie even ...
متن کاملEstimating the Opportunity Cost of Unpaid Farm Labor for U . S . Farm Operators
A farm operator household time-allocation model and data from the Farm Costs and Returns Survey and from other sources were used to derive off-farm wage equations for U.S. farm operators based on production region, size of farm, and farm type. These equations, in turn, were used to impute opportunity costs for farm operators' unpaid labor. Using this new method, instead of the ad hoc method of ...
