Labor Markets: A Critical Link Between Global-Local Shocks And Their Impact On Agriculture, Srabashi Ray, Iman Haqiqi, Alexandra E. Hill, J Edward Taylor, Thomas Hertel

Department of Agricultural Economics Faculty Publications

Labor markets can shape the impacts of global market developments and local sustainability policies on agricultural outcomes, including changes in production and land use. Yet local labor market outcomes, including agricultural employment, migration and wages, are often overlooked in integrated assessment models (IAMs). The relevance of labor markets has become more important in recent decades, with evidence of diminished labor mobility in the United States (US) and other developed countries. We use the SIMPLE-G (Simplified International Model of agricultural Prices, Land use, and the Environment) modeling framework to investigate the impacts of a global commodity price shock and a local …
