| Despite the genesis of the agricultural household model being more than four decades ago, a complete
characterization of its fundamental comparative statics has eluded researchers. By employing
a differential approach based on generalized compensated derivatives, this gap is closed for a
generic form of the agricultural household model. Extensions of the model and the concomitant
results are contemplated too. Because the fundamental comparative statics are heretofore unknown
as well as observable, they yield a host of new empirically testable implications of the
model, and as such permit a complete empirical scrutiny of it for the first time. |
