Notes. Standard errors in parentheses below coefficient estimates. Table reports estimates of labor demand regressions for stratified samples. All estimates of variance-covariances take into account clustering at the household level and allow arbitrary heteroskedasticity. Joint tests for the significance of demographic groups are F-statistics. All models control quintiles of farm and household (real) assets, age and education of the household head and spouse, month of interview indicators, community-time fixed effects and farm household fixed effects.
