Choices of Agricultural and Nonagricultural Occupations and Earnings in India

The objective of this study is to examine how individuals choose between agricultural and nonagricultural occupations in India, and assess how these choices influence their overall earnings distribution. Specifically, it intends to estimate a tractable empirical structural model to examine the relationships between heterogeneity in occupation specific skills and the choices of occupations.  To my knowledge, there exists no study that analyzes occupational choices in India in the context of unobserved skill heterogeneity. This study aims to fill this gap.
