| dc.description | In recent years, there has been increasing emphasis in the rural development literature on the multiple income-generating activities undertaken by rural households and the importance of assets in determining the capacity to undertake these activities. Controlling for endogeneity choice and applying Lee’s generalization of Amemiya’s two-step estimator to a simultaneous equation model, household returns to assets from multiple activities are explored for the Mexico ejido sector. The results indica te that the asset position of the household has a significant effect on household participation in income-generating activities and returns to these activities. Furthermore, the inclusion of measures of social and public capital into the analysis show that these assets play an important role in income-generating activities and that the influence is dependent on the type of social and public capital as well as the particular activity. | |
