Description

<p>This paper analyzes an impact of specialization in farming and non-farm employment on farm household food consumption in Vietnam by using data from Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey 2012. To mitigate self-selection bias due to unobserved factors affecting both non-farm employment decision and food consumption such as farmers' ability, we employ endogenous switching regression. We find that the effect of specialization in farm activity and participation in non-farm activity differ from region to region. The results suggest that not only enrolling in a non-farm sector but also specializing in farming increase Vietnamese farmers' welfare in some regions.</p>
