Models of the agricultural household have traditionally relied on assumptions regarding the complementarity or substitutability of family labor inputs. We show how data on time allocations, health shocks and corresponding treatment choices can be used to test these assumptions. Data from Tanzania provide evidence that complementarities exist and can explain the pattern of labor supply adjustmen...
We have developed two types of soil moisture monitoring system and performed long-term test employment of these systems in the coffee plantation in Hawaii. One is a lower cost and smaller size near-infrared moisture sensor developed by the SANYO Electric (Co., Ltd.), the other is a modified system for monitoring soil information, called SIMS(Soil Information Monitoring System).
