“…Differences have been observed in the way men and women spend their income shares. For example, Senauer et al (1986) found that in Sri Lanka an increase in women's earnings results in higher expenditures on bread than on rice. We analyzed expenditures on nine different expenditure groups by men and women using the income under their control.…”

Linking smallholder farmers to markets and making markets work for the poor is increasingly becoming an important part of the global research and development agenda. Organizations have used various strategies to link farmers to markets. These approaches have mainly been evaluated for their potential to increase participation in markets and household incomes. The evaluations have assumed a unitary household where income and resources are pooled and allocated according to a joint utility function. In most households, however, income is rarely pooled and neither are resources jointly allocated. This article uses data from Malawi and Uganda to analyze what influences income distribution between men and women, focusing on the type of commodity, type of market and approaches used. The results indicate that commodities generating lower average revenues are more likely to be controlled by women, whereas men control commodities that are high revenue generators, often sold in formal markets.Relier les petits agriculteurs aux marche´s et faire en sorte que ces derniers servent les pauvres sont des objectifs qui prennent une importance grandissante dans les programmes mondiaux de recherche et de de´veloppement. Les organisations ont mobilise´diverses strate´gies pour relier les agriculteurs aux marche´s. Ces approches ont surtout e´te´e´value´es pour leur capacite´potentielle a`accroıˆtre la participation aux marche´s et les revenus des me´nages. Les estimations sont base´es sur l'hypothe`se du me´nage unitaire dont les revenus et ressources sont regroupe´s et re´partis selon une fonction d'utiliteć ommune. Dans la plupart des me´nages, cependant, les revenus sont rarement mis en commun et les ressources ne proviennent pas non plus d'une seule source. Cet article s'appuie sur des donne´es concernant le Malawi et l'Ouganda pour analyser ce qui influence la re´partition des revenus entre hommes et femmes, en portant une attention particulie`re aux types de marchandises, de marche´s et d'approches utilise´s. Les re´sultats indiquent que les produits qui ge´ne`rent le moins de revenus sont ge´ne´ralement l'affaire des femmes alors que les hommes se chargent des denre´es qui ge´ne`rent le plus de revenus, et qui sont souvent vendues sur les marche´s formels.

Este trabalho compara 0 procedimento de Heckman com urn metoda tra dicional de estimagao de sahidos. As estimativas de salcirio podem ser usadas como custo de oportunidade do tempo dos individuos. Uma vez que grande parte dos adultos numa amastra nao participam do mercado de trabalho, a simples estimagao utilizando-se da tecnica de minimos quadrados ordimi.rios produziria estimadores tendenciosos. Equagoes de participagao no mercado de trabalho e de determinagao de sahirios fcram estimadas para mulhercs e homens de 16 a 71 anos de idade. Quase todos as cocficientes fcram significativos ao nfvel de 10% e apresentaram as sinais esperados. Quando 0 metodo tradicional foi utilizado para estimar 0 logaritmo do salario hora, observou -se uma tendenciosidade po sitiva (em valor absoluto) nas estimativas dos parametros, no caso da amostra de trabalhadores do sexo masculino e uma tendenciosidade negativa (em valor absoluto) para trabalhadores do sexo feminino. AbstractThis paper estimates wage rates using the Heckman Procedure and a tra ditional method. The estimation becomes necessary when the analysis requires a measure of the individual's opportunity cost of time. Since a large fraction of the adults in the sample do not participate in the labor market, the simple estimation by ordinary least squares would cause bias in the coefficients. Labor force participation and the wage determination equations were estimated for men and women from 16 to 71 years old. Most of the coefficients were statistically significant at 10% level and presented the expected signs. It was found an upward biased (in absolute value) estimate for male workers and a downward biased (in absolute value) estimate for the female workers when using the traditional method of estimation.

“…Muitos estudos vêm sendo feitos na tentativa de avaliar os efeitos de fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos nos padrões de consumo de alimentos para diversas regiões do mundo e vários autores já identificaram a importância de variáveis como a renda, raça, local de residência, tamanho e composição da família em mudanças nos padrões de consumo (PROCHASKA; SCHRIMPER, 1973;SENAUER, 1979;REDMAN, 1980;SENAUER;SAHN;ALDERMAN, 1986;McCRAKEN;BRANDT, 1987;PARK;CAPPS, 1997;SDRALI, 2005;SICHIERI;CASTRO;MOURA, 2005). Como exemplos de estudos nessa linha realizados para o Brasil, citam-se os trabalhos de Hoffmann (1995), que analisou o efeito da urbanização sobre o consumo de feijão e de Bertasso (2000), que fez uma análise sobre os efeitos de algumas variáveis socioeconômicas sobre o padrão de consumo de alimentos.…”

Dadas as significativas mudanças no padrão de consumo alimentar das famílias brasileiras, em paralelo a importantes alterações em fatores como a urbanização e a participação da mulher no mercado de trabalho, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a influência de alguns fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos no padrão de consumo de carnes da população brasileira. Os dados utilizados são oriundos da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF) 2002-2003, realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Utilizaram-se os microdados da POF e o procedimento em dois estágios de Heckman para analisar a influência dos fatores socioeconômicos no consumo domiciliar de carne bovina, suína e de frango. Os resultados mostram que os fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos possuem uma influência significativa nos padrões de consumo domiciliar de carnes no Brasil.
