在马里，存在各种农场兼家庭结构，因此农业生产发生在由家庭不同成员控制的地块上。在这篇文章中，我们希望利用在马里东南部收集的投入和产出的第一手数据，强调在大家庭农场的背景下，集体和个人(男性或女性农民)之间的差异没有得到充分的研究。首先，我们发现，在纳入所有适当的控制措施后，在同一年种植相同作物的(男性)私人地块的土地产量显著高于具有类似特征的公共地块。其次，我们带来了强有力的提示性证据，表明集体田地存在道德风险问题(但仅限于护理密集型作物)，这可以解释它们相对较差的表现。
In Mali, there exist various farm-cum-family structures, so that agricultural production occurs on plots controlled by different members of the household. In this paper, we want to lay emphasis on the under-researched differentials between collective and individual plots (attended by male or female farmer) in the context of extended family farms using input and output first hand data collected in the south-eastern part of Mali. First, we find that land yields are significantly larger on (male) private plots than on common plots with similar characteristics planted to the same crop in the same year after all appropriate controls have been included. And, second, we bring strong suggestive evidence that a moral hazard-in-team problem exists on the collective fields (yet only with regard to care-intensive crops) that could explain their relatively poor performance.
