本文分析了农村家庭是否使用劳动力分配，以减轻干旱冲击的影响，在巴西东北部的背景下。首先，我们的文件，水资源短缺导致较低的收入来自农业工作作为主要的，和较高的收入来自次要工作。然后，我们研究极端干旱影响时间劳动分配的程度。我们的研究结果表明，每年额外的干旱冲击与拥有一份以上工作的可能性更大，农业活动在总工作时间中的份额更低，以及次要工作的份额更高有关。对较贫穷的城市影响更大。这些发现与缓解因水资源短缺而导致的农业盈利能力下降的对策是一致的。鸣谢：这项工作是在加拿大渥太华国际发展研究中心赠款的援助下，通过题为“利用环境经济学观点影响拉丁美洲和加勒比政策-拉丁美洲和加勒比环境经济学方案”的项目进行的。本文所表达的观点不一定代表IDRC或其理事会的观点。
This paper analyzes whether rural households use labor allocation to mitigate the effect of drought shocks in the Northeaster Brazilian context. We first document that water scarcity leads to lower income derived from farm work as main, and higher income from secondary jobs. We then examine the extent to which extreme droughts affect time labor allocation. Our results indicate that an additional drought shock per year is associated with greater likelihood of have more than one job, lower share of farm activities in the total hours worked, and higher share of secondary job. The effects are higher for poorer municipalities. These findings are consistent with a mitigation response to reduced agricultural profitability due to water scarcity.
