“…Furthermore, the estimates of the influence of cooperative membership may suffer from self‐selection bias related to both observable and unobservable factors. To mitigate this bias, previous studies have utilized various approaches, such as the propensity score matching (PSM) technique (Chagwiza et al 2016; Ji et al 2019), the inverse probability weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA) estimator (Neupane et al 2022), the endogenous treatment regression model (Li et al 2023b; Vatsa et al 2022), and the RBP model (Gopalan et al 2022; Li et al 2023a).…”

Membership in agricultural cooperatives may influence intra-household decisions regarding the division of household labor. However, the linkages between cooperative membership and labor allocation remain unexplored. To fill this gap, we examine the impact of cooperative membership on off-farm work decisions of couples engaged in farming, using data collected from 595 banana farmers in China. The recursive bivariate probit model and endogenous-treatment Poisson regression model are employed to address the self-selection bias inherent in cooperative membership. The resultsshow that cooperative membership increases the probability of participating in off-farm work by 38% for husbands and 31% for wives. Having large households reduces the probability of husbands but increases that of wives working off-farm. Cooperative membership is also associated with more time spent on off-farm work and higher earnings for both husbands and wives. Our findings point to the potential of agricultural cooperatives to increase farm couples' off-farm employment, thus increasing household income and quality of life.

“…When farmers operate on a moderate scale, the impact of Internet use on fertilizer inputs is significantly lower than the impact on pesticide inputs. This may be because farmyard manure is a substitute for fertilizer [ 39 ], farmers access or watch scientific methods of fertilizer use through the use of the Internet, and reduce fertilizer inputs through mechanization, etc. In addition, farmers have controlled their fertilizer inputs as they prioritise their business profits.…”
