Absorção de trabalho, demanda e decomposição de emprego agrícola

Resumo

This paper examines the determinants of farm demand in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and in particular the roles of wages, prices of modern imputs, output level, land use, and tractors stock, to aid understanding the causes of decreasing rates of labor absorption. The study is conducted within a framework of neoclassical model of factor demand. The Krishna model of employment decomposition is also used. Our results show positive effects for output level and land use, and negative effects for technology, farm wages, prices of modern imputs and tractors stock. Inferences for farm policy and economic research are drawn on those findings. Index Terms: Farm labor, absorption, demand, decomposition model. State of São Paulo, Brazil.
