摘要

我们通过比较男性和女性为户主的家庭农场以及非西班牙裔白人和少数族裔为户主的家庭农场之间的生产率差距,探讨了美国农业中的种族和性别差异。利用2017 - 2020年农业资源管理调查数据,基于可观测协变量,应用倾向得分匹配技术获得可比较样本。统计测试揭示了男性和女性当家农场之间以及非西班牙裔白人和少数族裔当家农场之间生产技术的结构性差异,因此需要对每个群体的单独生产技术进行估计。因此,采用随机元前沿框架来包络群体前沿并评估技术差距。结果表明,女性和少数民族经营者不仅使用不同的生产技术,而且在组合投入以实现农业产出最大化方面也不太精通。研究结果还揭示了群体内部的性别和种族差异——在其他条件下,在非西班牙裔白人和少数族裔主导的农场中,女性生产者的产出明显低于男性生产者。同样,在男性主要经营者中,西班牙裔生产者比非西班牙裔白人和非西班牙裔非白人生产者产出更多。

Ethnic and gender disparities in U.S. agriculture: An analysis of technology and technical efficiency differentials

We explore ethnic and gender disparities in U.S. agriculture by comparing productivity gaps between male- and female-headed family farms, and between non-Hispanic White and minority-headed family farms. Using Agricultural Resource Management Survey data from 2017 to 2020, propensity score matching techniques are applied to obtain comparable samples based on observable covariates. Statistical tests reveal structural differences in production technologies between male- and female-headed farms, and between non-Hispanic White and minority-headed farms, thus requiring the estimation of separate production technologies for each group. Accordingly, a stochastic metafrontier framework is used to envelop the group frontiers and assess technology gaps. The results indicate that female and minority-principal operators not only use different production technologies but are also less proficient at combining inputs to maximize farm output. The results also reveal within-group gender and ethnic differences—ceteris paribus, among non-Hispanic White and minority-led farms, female producers generated substantially less output compared to their male counterparts. Similarly, among male principal operators, Hispanic producers generated more output compared to their non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic non-White counterparts.

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Agricultural Economics provides a forum for creative and scholarly work on the economics of agriculture and food, natural resources and the environment, and rural and community development throughout the world. Papers should relate to one of these areas, should have a problem orientation, and should demonstrate originality and innovation in analysis, methods, or application. Analyses of problems pertinent to research, extension, and teaching are equally encouraged, as is interdisciplinary research with a significant economic component. Review articles that offer a comprehensive and insightful survey of a relevant subject, consistent with the scope of the Journal as discussed above, will also be considered. All articles published, regardless of their nature, will be held to the same set of scholarly standards.
