We show that, under unrestrictive conditions and based on a non-recursive rural household model, the effect of education on both technical efficiency over all crops and allocative efficiency can be measured using a farm profit function estimate. This is applied on cross-section data from Côte d'Ivoire. Farm labor supply of farm household members is first shown to decline with education. Second, education has no effect on farm efficiency (and sometimes a significantly negative one). This is robust to endogeneity of the education variable and is a reasonable result if general human capital, as produced by schooling, is of little use for farming in a steady environment. This is consistent with the few available works on Sub-saharan Africa.On ...
