By the growth regression approach, the research has identified that the investment capital contributed 1,939 and agricultural labor contributed 1,291 to the agricultural growth of An Giang province. More specifically, the contribution of TFP (Total Factor Productivity) to the agricultural growth in the period 2000 - 2004 was averagely 0,11%, in 2005 - 2010 was -5,03%, and in period 2011 - 2016 was 0,81%. The total factor productivity contributed to the agricultural growth slowly. In order to raise the contribution of TFP, the research represents 05 solutions including the increase of the effectiveness of using the investment capital, the increase of the quality of labor, the application of the science and technology into agricultural production, agriculturalrestructuring, and the increase of  agricultural demand.

Fragmentation of land and buildings was common in the Alps due to the nature of the interplay between economy and ecology. A fragmented holding allowed a farmer to spread his agricultural labor evenly throughout the season, while at the same time protecting him against the everpresent dangers of avalanche and flooding. Following the second world war, with a shift from agriculture to industry as the basis of the rural alpine economy, fragmentation came to be more of a nuisance than a necessity. Finally, with the introduction of tourism, new uses for land, particularly for house sites, rendered fragmentation totally useless. Yet the practice continues, deeply ingrained in the conservative rural tradition.

Farm Work

The labor supply response to agricultural wages is critical to the viability of crop production in high-income countries, which hire a largely foreign farm work force, as well as in low-income countries, where domestic workers move off the farm as the agricultural transformation unfolds. Modeling agricultural labor supply is more challenging than modeling the supply of other agricultural inputs or of labor to other sectors of the economy owing to unique features of agricultural production and farm labor markets. Data and econometric challenges abound, and estimates of agricultural labor supply elasticities are sparse. This review explains the importance and challenges of modeling farm labor supply and describes researchers’ efforts to address these challenges. It summarizes estimates of agricultural labor supply elasticities over the last 80 years, provides insights into variation in these estimates, identifies priority areas for future research, and reviews the most influential empirical work related to this important topic. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Resource Economics, Volume 13 is October 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
