DESCRIPTION
Sharecropping or tenancy occupies a central place in agricultural economics. It is a puzzle. How could it be a source of efficiant production when half of the produce goes to the land lord and half remain with the tenant. Tenant equates half production with his marginal productivity and thus applied less labour and other input to agriculture then in owner cultivation. This puzzle remains unsolved for more than three hundred years.
