Extensions and applications of econometric methods for non-separable Agricultural household models

本研究提出了农户模型微观数据分析的实证方法，并证明了其有效性。研究发现，家庭劳动力供给功能的具体化需要特别注意农户的家庭组成及其成员在农业和非农业活动中的经验和生产力。找到了研究农户户主市场劳动力供给函数的两种方法。一种是估算一个模型的方法，该模型描述了户主参与劳动力市场的情况，以及雇主对工作时间设定的潜在上限限制。另一种方法是对一个模型进行实证分析（包括比较静态分析），该模型描述了户主对市场工作的激励与农场盈利能力之间的相互作用。

This study proposes empirical methods for the microdata analysis of agricultural household models and shows their usefulness. It finds that specification of family labor supply functions requires special attention to family composition of farm households as well as experience and productivity of their members in farming and non-farming activities. It also finds two methods for studying the market labor supply function of the head of farm households. One is a method to estimate a model which describes the household head's participation in the labor market and a potential upper constraint on work hours set by his employer. The other is a method to conduct an empirical analysis (including a comparative statics analysis) of a model which describes interactions between the household head's incentive for market work and farm profitability.
