The study employs data contained in the 2006 Brazilian Municipality Agricultural Census and a “trade index” (TI) specifi cally constructed to differentiate family farmers. The impact of credit on land and labor productivity was calculated by comparing the productivity of a group of family farmers that received credit with the productivity of a group of family farmers that were credit restricted. The groups were constructed with the aid of propensity score matching. When statistically signifi cant, the average effect of credit was found to increase the recipient’s productivity of land and labor. It was also found that productivity increases due to the use of credit aligned with the level of the family farmer’s integration into the commercial market and, therefore, one credit policy does not fi t for all Brazilian family farmers. 2016 artículo científico 0103-6351 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=400450108002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4004 Nova Economia application/pdf Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Nova Economia (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.26 |
