Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of multicrop allocation in agriculture with an application to Tunisia. Two modeling framework are combined: (1) a profit function framework which is a dual approach to modeling multioutput production, given the assumptions of input nonjointness and at least one fixed allocatable input, and (2) an endogenous switching econometric model for estimating multioutput choices when some output choices are corner solutions. To illustrate, the paper deals with irrigated water allocation in the area of Nabeul in Tunisia.
