This paper assesses the impact of access to information on farm household.s factor
market participation. The
paper tries to answer two questions. First, does use of telephone have any impact
on farm household's factor
market participation decision? Second, correcting for market participation, does
use of telephone have any
impact on the type of factor adjustment decision? For the first question, the paper
uses a bivariate probit to
correct for omitted variable bias and for the second question, the paper uses a two
stage probit. Empirical
findings of this paper suggest that access to information in the form
of use of telephone has significant
positive impact on factor market participation. The difference in market
participation between telephone
users and nonusers is around 14 percent. However, once a household participate
in the market, the use of
telephone does not have any impact on specific factor market participation.
