Modeling the Decision to Produce Vegetables at Home

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1983, vol. 65, issue 4, 722-729

Abstract: The household decision to produce vegetables at home was found to be influenced significantly by the area of household residence, homeownership, race, source of income, the number and ages of adults in the household, and the potential for saving money. It was estimated that an average gardening household saved approximately $40 per year on vegetables. This is approximately twenty percent of the average amount spent on vegetables in 1977 by nongardening households. A simultaneous equation model was estimated to derive these results.
