The focus of the literature concerned with economic development has shifted its focus to attempting to understand the institutions and the behavior of individuals and families in rural areas. This critical review examines the various models and theories of labor markets and tenancy with attention to the issues of absent markets, market failure, collusive power, and the interdependence of markets. A central theme is that an understanding of institutional arrangements or imperfections in any one market (e.g. labor) requires attention to the imperfections in or constraints on other markets (e.g. land, credit). Without integration of these interrelated markets into a single coherent rural model, the ability to predict the consequences of economic development within the rural sector will be severely handicapped. The current proliferation of models are not adequate; future models must take assumptions that are at variance with the complexities of the real world, but are essential for predicting rural economic behavior.
