Demand for On-Farm Permanent Hired Labor in Family Holdings: A Comment

Ayal Kimhi

No 53198, Discussion Papers from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Department of Agricultural Economics and Management

Abstract: This comment critically discusses the theoretical and empirical treatment of corner solutions in the analysis of labor decisions on farm households. As more and more labor decisions are analyzed jointly, the more ambitious becomes the theoretical justification of empirical applications. "Cutting corners" in theoretical models puts the validity of empirical conclusions in doubt. In such cases relying on intuitive theoretical justification of empirical modeling is preferred.
