This study uses a generalized stochastic frontier framework to model a multiple-output rice production system and analyses farm-level technical inefficiency of rice farming in Assam, India. Primary data for this study was collected in 2009-2010 from 310 farm-households in four non-contiguous districts of Dhubri, Morigaon, Dibrugarh, and Cachar that are located in different agro-climatic regions...
nonfarm activities play an important role in the determination of rural household income, consumption expenditure, and household food security. however, much less studies have been devoted to the factors that influence nonfarm income diversification by farm household in developing countries. using cross-sectional data and a probit model, this study attempts to determine the factors influencing ...
the study on gender and net farm income of cassava-based farmers under individual land tenure system was done in abia state of nigeria. the main objective was to determine the net farm income (nfi) and the benefit cost ratio (bcr) of the cassava farmers by gender vis-aviz their income levels as well as food security in the state. a multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted while data we...
This paper examines the viability and effectiveness of a pilot farming initiative in reversing impacts of HIV/AIDS on the most affected households in Homa Bay, Kenya. The paper argues that once patients are stable, they can effectively be engaged in farming with minimal financial and technical support, resulting in enhanced food security of the affected households. More importantly, it helps to...
This paper investigates the issue of child labor in the context of land reforms in transition economies, using farm household data from the Republic of Georgia. The results show that an increase in landholdings as an outcome of the land reform can, in the presence of market imperfections, lead to an increase in child labor. This is because the increased demand for labor on the family farm is st...
This study determines the nature of village economics in the town of Biharamulo, Tanzania, and in four surrounding villages. This study also identifies the links between the villages and the town and the extent of differences between village households. Town population in 1993 was 20,000 persons, or 1020 households, of which 29.4% were female-headed. Only 7.1% of village households were head...
BACKGROUND HIV/AIDS has led to increased mortality and morbidity, negatively impacting adult labour especially in HIV/AIDS burdened Sub-Saharan Africa. There has been some exploration of the effects of HIV/AIDS on paid child labour, but little empirical work on children's non-paid child work. This paper provides quantitative evidence of how child and household-level factors affect children's in...
nutritional status of historically disadvantaged smallholder food producers and their family members. Food Variety Scores (FVS) and Dietary Diversity Scores (DDS) are some of the indicators of nutritional status. This study sought to evaluate the nutritional status of children of historically disadvantaged agri-business smallholders at Alfred Nzo District. Methods: This study’s purposeful...
The paper analyzes the decision-making of rural Chinese households on whether to stay exclusively on farm, take local off-farm jobs or migrate. Based on a survey of rural Chinese households, we examined the determinants of job location choice of rural China. We extend the dynamic discrete choice model of Wooldridge (2002a,b) to the three-alternative setting and apply it to a five-year panel. We...
Knowing whether a household behaves according to separability or non-separability is needed for the correct modeling of production decisions. We propose a superior test to those found in the literature on separability by using a mixture distribution approach to estimate the probability that a farm household behaves according to non-separability, and test that the determinants of consumption aff...
