英文文献摘要:
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of adoption intensity of GM crops on off‐farm labor supply by farm households. Using ARMS data in 2004, 2005 and 2006, we estimate a two stage simultaneous Tobit model and find that adoption intensity of GM crops has a negative impact on off‐farm labor supply by operators and a positive impact on off‐farm labor supply by spouse. This may be due to the comparative advantage of operators and spouses. Our results find that GM crops adoption has different but significant implications on off‐farm labor supply by operators and spouses and underscores the importance of understanding farm households’ decisions to explain behaviors of farm businesses in the United States.
利用2004年、2005年和2006年的ARMS数据,我们估计了一个两阶段同步的Tobit模型,发现转基因作物的种植强度对经营者的非农劳动力供给有负面影响,对配偶的非农劳动力供给有正面影响。这可能是由于经营者和配偶的比较优势。我们的研究结果发现,转基因作物的采用对经营者及其配偶的非农劳动力供给有着不同但重要的影响,这也强调了理解农户的决定对解释美国农业企业行为的重要性。
