| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We decided to consider a holistic picture of farming contract design, including both fixed-rent and sharecropping arrangements. This enabled us to answer an equally interesting question: “what the preferred mode of farming is facing limited tenure?” This research question was also related to the debate on relative efficiency in sharecropping versus fixed rent contracts. Having fixed-rent arrangements in the study made the research design rich and enabled us to answer the following research questions: 1)What are the implications on contract theory with the limited tenure? 2)Are productivities different between sharecropped and tenanted plots? 3)Does contract type vary depending on periods in the election cycle? 4)Does cognitive skill affect contract type?
Our primary goal has been to analyze the data to find out (A) how fixed-rent contracts are linked to limited-tenure, and (B) how sharecropping contracts are linked to limited-tenure and (C) how the interplay between fixed-rent and sharecropping evolves with limited-tenure, among others. The main data sample consists of Contract-wise: 910 contracts (N=130 villages ×7 contract pairs) and Household-wise: 1,820 households (N=130 villages ×14 households). We derived summary statistics on landlord and farmers characteristics for each plot (Farmers provide detailed information of two plots with different attributes). And then we compared these findings across a) Bengkok/Non-Bengkok b)tenant/farmer-owned c)sharecropping/fixed rent.
