“…Understanding the role of legal status on farmworker employment and wages is important for immigration policy debates (Passel, 2006;Caponi and Plesca, 2014). After a few studies published in the early 1990s about the impact of IRCA on agricultural production and labor supply (e.g., Duffield and Coltrane, 1992;Gunter et al, 1992), there has been a renewed interest in analyzing the impact of immigration policies on labor market outcomes for hired farm labor (Pena, 2010;Zahniser et al, 2012;Hertz, 2015).…”

The policy debate surrounding the employment of immigrant workers in U.S. agriculture centers around the extent to which immigrant farmworkers adversely affect the economic opportunities of native farmworkers. To help answer this question, we propose a three-layer nested constant elasticity of substitution (CES) framework to investigate the substitutability among heterogeneous farmworker groups based on age, skill, and legal status utilizing National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) data from 1989 through 2012. We use farmwork experience and type of task performed as alternative proxies for skill to disentangle the substitution effect between U.S. citizens, authorized immigrants, and unauthorized immigrant farmworkers.Results show that substitutability between the three legal status groups is small; neither authorized nor unauthorized immigrant farmworkers have a significant impact on the employment of native farmworkers. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.

“…The data period covers 1989-2007. The U.S. agricultural labor data were collected from the July Farm Labor report of the National Agricultural Statistics Service because this is the peak month for agricultural operations (Duffield and Coltrane, 1992;U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2008a).…”

We analyze the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and United States farm subsidies on U.S.-Mexican illegal immigration and agricultural trade. The theoretical analysis develops an integrated trade-migration model and shows that NAFTA and U.S. subsidies exacerbate the illegal labor flow and increase U.S. exports. The theoretical analysis is empirically implemented by simultaneous estimation and simulation analysis. The analysis shows that NAFTA increased the number of undocumented workers to U.S. agriculture and U.S. farm exports to Mexico by an average of 1573 and $6.82 billion, respectively. U.S. farm subsidy reduction decreases unauthorized entry marginally and U.S. farm exports by an average of $3.2 billion.

“…The Bayesian model provides out-of-sample forecasts superior to those from unconstrained vector autoregressive, univariate autoregressive, a block recursive BVAR model and a naive BVAR model based on the Minnesota random walk prior. Duffield and Coltrane (1992) test a model of the farm labor market for disequilibrium using CUSUM criteria. Borghans and Willems (1998), reveals that in manpower forecasting labor market developments are analyzed in terms of shortages and surpluses.…”

ABSTRACTThe main objective of this project is to enhance the effectiveness of workforce forecast and deployment through innovative approaches of artificial intelligence. The research included a final document of conventional and innovative methods of workforce forecasting and a decision support software program incorporating advanced artificial intelligence techniques for workforce forecasting. SUBJECT TERMS ABSTRACTThis project studies workforce forecasting in two main aspects: (1) an extensive review of the existing methodologies and techniques and (2) an effort to develop a decision support system with models and software programming. The main objective of this project is to enhance the effectiveness of workforce forecasting and deployment through innovative approaches of artificial intelligence. The deliverables include a summary report of conventional and innovative methods of workforce forecasting (Part I) and a decision support software program using artificial intelligence techniques for workforce forecasting (Part II).Part I, provided a thorough literature review of fundamental research and practices of demand and supply forecasting techniques for workforce analysis. Over 300 relevant literatures have been identified and reviewed by the project team, and 289 of them are covered in this report.Following is a summary of the main contents and contributions of Part I:• This report provides an extensive review of the fundamental knowledge, applications, guidelines, and scope of use of various workforce forecasting methods.• A decision tree has been proposed for selecting an appropriate forecasting ...
