520 $a Three empirical essays examine the causes, circumstances and consequences of investment behaviors relevant to economic development.
520 $a Paper #1 develops a time series model to capture coffee price dynamics over time and through the marketing channel (captured at the farm, wholesale and retail levels). The presence of the International Coffee Agreement (ICA) is permitted to alter supply responses to price signals through yield and planting effects. In the short run, the ICA caused Brazilian farm prices to become disconnected from international prices. The ICA also allowed producers to better incorporate current world price information into planting decisions. The ICA created a price cycle that does not exist in non-ICA periods. The low coffee prices experienced since the disintegration of the ICA are consistent with low supply response to price information. Asymmetric price transmission at the retail level will enable roasters and/or retailers to benefit from upstream price interventions.
520 $a Paper #2 compares four explanations of sheepskin effects. One is our own---they may result from diplomas tied to jobs with downwards rigid wages. These theories have divergent implications for diploma effects in second moments of the Mincerian earnings distribution and employment propensity, identifiable through our flexible econometric specification. Idiosyncrasies in Mexican labor market and educational institutions offer a wonderful opportunity to test these theories. Only primary diplomas carry wage premiums. Returns to education are linked with labor market institutions and job-specific diplomas as hypothesized. We illuminate how labor markets segmented by diploma effects clear. Returns to education are partially revealed as structural heteroskedasticity.
520 $a Paper #3 documents schooling decisions of rural Chinese households. Particular emphasis is paid to the role of asset holdings and labor market imperfections. Controlling for consumption, larger land holdings and adult labor endowments discourage education by raising marginal child labor productivity. Conversely, agricultural capital, industrial capital and livestock holdings displace child labor, encouraging schooling. Increases in adult market wages reduce child labor productivity, perhaps by drawing adult labor away from the family farm, encouraging schooling. Households with higher consumption levels send their children to school more often. Basu's Luxury Axiom is therefore confirmed, while his Substitution Axiom is not.
