Cropsharing Tenancy in Agriculture: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis.

This article identifies some of the relevant economic factors in terms of a simple theoretical framework in the U.S. The actual significance of the framework is checked in an empirical analysis of interregional cross-section data pertaining to Indian agriculture. The basic theoretical model and the properties of equilibrium were analyzed through comparative static results with respect to variations in the wage rate. The authors concluded that the empirical results confirmed with some of the hypotheses in the theoretical sections.
