Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify determinants of the reductions in the use of labor observed in Argentine agriculture. The paper focuses on the 2002-2018 period, using data from the last two publications of the Censo Nacional Agropecu-ario (the census undertaken in 2008 is incomplete). The paper summarizes trends of labor use and firm size in Argentina, and presents three possible hypothesis ac-counting for the observed changes: (a) capital-labor substitution, (b)labor-saving technical change (reduced and no-tillage), and (c)changes in the farm size and the types of capital (machines) used
