Concern about global poverty has recently been increasing in public and private circles and in the church. However, we must recognize that poverty is complex and multidimensional, and solutions will be also. Our solutions need to embody good stewardship by understanding the needs, interests, and incentives of poor communities. Thenacademics and practitioners can partner together, combining their knowledge and experience to research, design, and e…

Heteroskedastic Sample Selection and Developing-Country Wage Equations
Many researchers have dealt with potential selectivity bias in developing country wage equations by employing Heckman's (1979) two-step method or related techniques, despite the potential for such methods to produce misleading results if the assumptions on which they are based are incorrect. This paper argues that the results produced even by parametric, easy-to-implement selectivity bias-correction methods can inspire more confidence than the ty…

Premiums to employment in larger establishments
Examination of the employer size–wage effect for males in urban Peru suggests the following. Higher wages in larger establishments do not merely compensate for higher worker quality or inferior working conditions. Size differences in the use of rising wage–tenure profiles cannot provide a market-clearing explanation for the employer size–wage effect unless workers are extremely impatient. Thus, larger employers appear to pay premiums. Unionizatio…
Attached farm labor, limited horizons and servility
Two facets of attached farm labor arrangements — the ‘servility’ often required of attached laborers, and employers' interest in maintaining such workers' ‘limited horizons’ — are described and incorporated into an otherwise standard model of attached and temporary agricultural employment, substantially modifying the model's predictions. The dependence of workers' preferences on reference group behavior (which underlies employers' interest in lim…
