AbstractThis article investigates the effects of weather risk on the off‐farm labor supply of agricultural households in a developing country, distinguishing different types of off‐farm labor markets. A multivariate two‐limit tobit model is applied to data from India. The regression results show that the share of the off‐farm labor supply increases with weather risk, the increase is much larger in the case of nonagricultural work than in the case of agricultural wage work, and the increase is much larger in the case of agricultural wages paid in kind than in the cash wage case, suggesting farmers’ considerations of food security.
