VICTOR GINSBURGH and JEAN-PIERRE KIEKENS

University of Brussels

Received October 1, 1986; Revision received February 1, 1988.

Summary

In this paper, we show that an indirect approach, based on mathematical programming, can be followed to evaluate the shadow wage rate and the profitability of various production alternatives. The idea is applied to a typical autarkic farm of the intertropical Sahelian region.
