在本文中，我们使用主观幸福感的方法来评估承包农业的福利影响。我们使用塞内加尔尼亚耶斯地区一项农户调查的原始面板数据，分析了承包农业对自我报告幸福感的影响。我们使用了不同的计量经济学方法，并表明，在修正了时间不变的未观察到的异质性后，合同农业对主观幸福感有积极的影响。我们发现不同类型的合同对农民主观幸福感的影响是不同的，这表明在一定的条件和合同设计下，合同农业对农民主观幸福感的贡献更大。我们的主要发现证实了使用横截面数据和基于收入的福利衡量方法进行的实证研究的早期发现。与早期主观幸福感文献的研究结果一致，我们发现绝对收入对主观幸福感有正向影响，但呈递减趋势，而比较收入对主观幸福感有负向影响。此外，家庭人口特征、他们的土地和牲畜资产以及住房指标也会影响主观幸福感。
In this paper we use a subjective well‐being approach to evaluate the welfare impact of contract‐farming. We analyze the impact of contract‐farming on self‐reported happiness using original panel data from a farm‐household survey in the Niayes region in Senegal. We use different econometric techniques and show that, when correcting for time invariant unobserved heterogeneity, contract‐farming has a positive effect on subjective well‐being. We find diverging effects for different types of contracts, suggesting that contract‐farming contributes more to farmers’ subjective well‐being under certain conditions and contract design. Our main finding corroborates earlier findings from empirical studies using cross‐sectional data and income‐based measures of welfare. In line with earlier results from the subjective well‐being literature, we find that absolute income has a positive but decreasing effect on subjective well‐being while comparison income has a negative effect. Also household demographic characteristics, their land and livestock assets, and housing indicators affect subjective well‐being.
