Agricultural Productivity Shocks, Labor Reallocation, and Rural-Urban Migration in China
Published By: CReam | Published Date: 2018This paper analyses the way households in rural China use rural-urban migration and
off-farm work as a response to negative productivity shocks in agriculture. I employ
various waves of a longitudinal survey to construct a panel of individual migration
and labour supply histories, and match them to detailed weather information, which I
use to instrument agricultural productivity.
