2013, World DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :There is in comparison relatively little on the impact of imperfections prevailing on other markets such as land and labor markets. Relevant research has shown that children’s working hours may increase with land ownership (Basu, Das, & Dutta, 2010; Bhalotra & Heady, 2003; Dumas, 2007; Mueller, 1984) or with the price of production goods (Cogneau & Jedwab, 2008; Duryea & Arends-Kuenning, 2003; Kruger, 2004). This should not happen if land and labor markets were competitive, because of the separability property (Singh, Squire, & Strauss, 1986, chap. 10).
Labor migration and time use patterns of the left-behind children and elderly in rural China
2011, World DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :While there is limited evidence of the impact of migration on the time allocation of the elderly, one study finds that after controlling for whether the elderly live with their married sons and health status of the elderly, then the migration status is not a statistically significant determinant of either participation or hours in farm work and off-farm work (Pang et al., 2004). The analysis of time allocation patterns of children and the elderly in off-farm, farm, and domestic work in rural China is guided by a theory of a multi-person agricultural household model (Jacoby, 1993; Mueller, 1984; Strauss, 1986; and Apps, 2003). We take into account two important institutional features of rural economies in developing countries.
