Última Rural Household Labour Demand, Contract Choice, Hoarding Cost and Poverty: Evidence from Western Kenya AgEcon Gathungu, E.; Musyoka, M.P.. This study determines the factors that influenced contract choice, labour demand and examines the existence of labour hoarding practice in Western region of Kenya. Data from Egerton University’s Tegemeo Institute of Agricultural Policy and Development was used for the analysis.. A two step Heckman model was employed to estimate the extent of engagement in daily and semi-permanent contracts conditional on choice of contract. Results from the study show that casual and semi-permanent contracts are substitutes. Family labour negatively influences engagement in daily and semi-permanent contracts hence it is a substitute to the two forms of the contracts. Increase in wages paid to casual contracts is negative and significant to the extent of daily contract...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/52159 Using Double-Log Imperfect Import Substitutes Model to Estimate Compensated Elasticities and Welfare Impacts AgEcon Musyoka, M.P.. Decisions on the effects of safeguard mechanisms have been more on theoretical grounds often due to lack of precise estimation of elasticities that can be used to calibrate welfare effects. Alston et.al., (2002) demonstrate that the double logarithmic demand models can be augmented by Slutsky equation to create compensated demand equations which, when estimated result into precise compensates elasticities important for welfare analysis. This study demonstrates a similar adjustment on a dynamic double log Imperfect Import substitutes model to allow for estimation of compensated and uncompensated elasticities. Elasticities from three estimators OLS, SURE and IV indicate that imported wheat, maize and rice are normal commodities in Kenya. The uncompensated...
