Full Description
Using farm level data generated by National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), the authors of the book provide empirical evidences on seven issues related to asset build up for farm-households in developing countries. First, what are the empirical evidences on asset-liability portfolio structure of farm households? Second, whether there have been shifts in composition of asset-liability structure over a period of time? Third, what are the determinants of likelihood of financial inclusion and exclusion of farm households? Fourth, how is the structure of capital expenditure incurred by farmers, and what are the determinants of capital expenditure? Fifth, what are the factors which would govern the accumulation of non-farm business activities and thereby enhance livelihood options in rural areas? Sixth, with respect to all these issues, are there fundamental differences as between large and small farmers and rural and urban farmers? Finally, which are the possible policy directions to facilitate asset-build up in farm households?
The book is based on the research work of authors and on field level evidences; and a new methodological framework has been developed by authors which could facilitate further cross-country research in this neglected area.
