Abstract
A labor supply model is used to examine the relationship between farm ownership and operators’ participation in the off-farm labor market for the Northeast region. The results indicate that ownership significantly influences operators’ off-farm employment participation. In particular, part-owners significantly allocate labor services to off-farm activities. The results also show that the participation rate among part-owner operators is high partly because the availability of other income sources accelerates the process of acquiring assets to become full-owner operators.
