    An Efficient Nonmarket Institution under Imperfect Markets: Labor Sharing for Tropical Forest Clearing (2014)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-04-05
    Description: This article examines the substitutability, productivity, efficiency, and evolution of an important agrarian nonmarket institution—labor sharing. Analysis of field-level data on forest clearing through time among Amazonian shifting cultivators reveals that ( a ) family, hired, and cooperative labor are perfect substitutes, and hired and cooperative labor are equally productive, and both are more productive than family labor; ( b ) the combination of labor market and labor sharing makes productivity-adjusted total labor use unconstrained by household and network endowments (i.e., efficient labor allocation); and ( c ) as labor composition is constrained by network endowments and liquidity, credit policies alter both labor composition and labor network formation.

    The Transition to Modern Agriculture: Contract Farming in Developing Economies (2014)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-02
    Description: Recent years have seen considerable interest in the impact of contract farming on farmers in developing countries, motivated out of belief that contract farming spurs transition to modern agriculture. In this article, we provide a thorough review of the empirical literature on contract farming in both developed and developing countries, using China as a special case of the latter. We pay careful attention to broad implications of this research for economic development. We first find empirical studies consistently support the positive contribution of contract farming to production and supply chain efficiency. We also find that most empirical studies identify a positive and significant effect of contract farming on farmer welfare, yet are often unable to reach consistent conclusions as to significant correlates of contract participation.

    Long-run and Short-run Co-movements in Energy Prices and the Prices of Agricultural Feedstocks for Biofuel (2014)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-07-23
    Description: Recent expansions in biofuel production have led to concerns about an emerging "new relationship" between energy prices and the prices of agricultural feedstock for biofuel. We provide new econometric evidence on this relationship using common trend-common cycle decompositions to estimate long-run and short-run co-movement across various energy and agricultural prices. We also test for the presence of regime changes that may alter the relationship between energy and agricultural feedstock prices under certain conditions. We find that co-movements between energy and agricultural feedstock prices tend to dissipate in the long-run, which has important implications for biofuel and food policy.
