Item Restricted The determinants of off-farm income in the Philippines: a cross-section analysis(1987-09) Concepcion, Edwin Q.; Medalla, Felipe M.This paper mainly focuses on the investigation of the factors which determine off-farm incomes of farm households in the Philippines. Background literature on farm households' off-farm incomes, which frames the development context and highlights the considerable income and employment repercussions of off-farm activities, is presented. The study's off-farm income model suggests the functional relationships among selected variables. The data base required to test the hypotheses is scrutinized. Evaluation of the study's concerns proceeds through the instrumentality of multivariate data analysis. The empirical findings, amongst which is the observation that the nonagricultural sector fails to draw-n significant part-time occupational participation from farm households, are summarized and policy implications discussed.
