- Title
MODELING THE DETERMINANTS OF SEMI-SUBSISTENT AND COMMERCIAL LAND USES IN AN AGRICULTURAL FRONTIER OF SOUTHERN MEXICO: A SWITCHING REGRESSION APPROACH.
- Authors
Vance, Colin; Geogregan, Jacqueline
- Abstract
The authors analyze the consequences of imperfect output markets for the land-use decisions of semi-subsistence farmers in an agricultural frontier of southern Mexico. The approach is motivated by previous applications of the agriculture household model establishing that the farm household's production and consumption decisions are analytically nonseparable when markets are not used. Econometric results generated by a switching regression model suggest the importance of distinguishing the discrete choice of market participation from that of area cultivated.
