本文考察了秘鲁亚马逊河流域家庭在应对大洪水造成的作物损失时，劳动力后供给在平滑收入方面的作用，秘鲁亚马逊河流域丰富的环境禀赋允许各种资源开采活动和应对措施。本文发现，家庭主要通过加强捕鱼努力来应对作物损失，而不是依靠收集非木材林产品、狩猎或资产清算。这种劳动后调整有助于平衡总收入对小作物损失的影响，但对大作物损失的影响不大。无论是拥有较好捕鱼资本的相对非贫困家庭，还是拥有体力劳动优势的贫困年轻家庭，都在河流中使用这种自然保险。
This article examines the role ofex postlabor supply in smoothing income in response to crop losses caused by large floods among riverine households in the Peruvian Amazon, where rich environmental endowments permit a variety of resource extractive activities and coping responses. The paper finds that households respond to crop losses primarily by intensifying fishing effort, not by relying on gathering of nontimber forest products, hunting, or asset liquidation. Thisex postlabor adjustment helps to smooth total income against small crop losses but less well against large crop losses. Both relatively nonpoor households with better fishing capital and poor young households with a physical labor advantage employ this natural insurance in rivers.
