Resumen:
|
|
This study examines the impact of cooperative membership on rural income generation. It also analyzes the factors influencing participation in cooperatives among rural households in Southwest, Nigeria. The study was designed to account for selection bias into cooperative organizations. Rural household survey data were used and the estimates were based on both probit model and non-parametric propensity score matching method. The findings show that income generated through cooperative membership is approximately 10% higher than those generated by non-cooperative members. Empirical estimates of determinants of cooperative membership indicate that years of education, age and land size have significant influences on decision to join cooperatives. |
