Abstract

[fre] Aléa moral, fertilité de la terre et choix de contrats aux Philippines. . Une application importante des modèles d'aléa moral concerne l'étude des contrats agricoles de fermage et de métayage. En tenant compte de l'évolution de la fertilité de la terre de manière endogène dans un modèle Principal-Agent, le contrat optimal arbitre entre partage de risque, incitations à produire et entretien de la terre. Les estimations empiriques effectuées avec des données Philippines valident les prédictions du modèle en termes de choix d'incitations par les propriétaires en fonction de la valeur de la terre. Les résultats semblent robustes aux problèmes d'endogénéité des cultures ou de biais de sélection en général non traités. [eng] Moral hazard, land fertility and contract choices in the philippines. . An important application of moral hazard models concerns land leasing contracts in agriculture like fixed rent contracts or sharecropping. In a Principal-Agent model with endogenous fertility evolution, the optimal contract results of a trade off between risk sharing, production incentives and land investment incentives. The empirical estimations made on Philippines data are consistent with the predictions of the model in terms of choice of incentives by landowners relative to the land value. The results remain robust to the endogeneity problem of choice of culture as well as the selection problem of contacts signed which is generally not dealt with in the share tenancy literature.
