农户是农业生产、消费、农业与非农劳动供给的基本经济单位。农户时间配置理论大致经历了有条件均衡、单一模型、复合模型等3个发展阶段。在理论的不断完善与拓展过程中,伴随着实证与经验研究作为佐证和辅助的手段,理论与实践相结合是农户时间配置模型发展的主要特征。梳理农户时间配置模型的理论发展脉络与相应的实证检验,并概述了该理论在中国的应用。
Household was a basic economic unit of agricultural production, consuming and agricultural and non-agricultural labor supply. The theory of household time allocation approximately goes through three developing stages of conditional equilibrium, unitary models and collective models etc. While the theory improved and developed, the testing and empirical researches were accompanying, the basic character of household time allocation model developing was theory combined with practice. The developing thread of the household time allocation model and its testing were tidied, and its application in Chinese was introduced.
