Recenzii
’This book makes an important contribution to the economics of rural labour markets in developing countries. Its findings have implications for a range of policy issues, including the effects of land reform.’ Professor Peter Warr, Australian National University, Australia ’Scholars interested in issues of family-based agriculture and agricultural development in Nepal and other developing countries will find this book stimulating and useful. The author makes an important contribution to the emerging literature on farm household decision making in traditional agriculture.’ Professor Anil Deolalikar, University of Washington, USA. '...Dr. Thapa's book breaks new analytical and empirical ground by providing an analytical foundation for such differences and tracing their implications for farm production and labour supply. This book should be mandatory reading for all interested in agricultural development in LDCs.' Professor Raghbendra Jha, Australian National University, Australia '...Dr Thapa's study enriches the empirically based literature in the agricultural economics of developing economies and will be welcomed everywhere by researchers and policy advisers concerned with development.' Professor Alan A. Powell, Monash University, Australia
Descriere
This title was first published in 2003.Family based agricultural/farm households are the principal form of economic organization in most developing countries. Empirical models of the agricultural household that recognize its dual role as a producer and consumer unit in a theoretically consistent manner have become essential tools for policy analyses. This book provides an important extension to the conventional farm household model by developing an analytical framework that allows for efficiency differences between family and hired labour inputs. The methodological novelty is to relate the shadow wage rate for family labour to the observed market wage rate for hired labour, allowing for the differential productivity of family and hired labour detected in the production function estimation.
