Abstract
A simultaneous equations model of the Israeli moshav, in which the levels of cooperative marketing, part-time and full-time farming, output and capital stock are endogenous, is developed and empirically estimated. In the process, hypotheses relating to the problem of voluntary collective action are tested.
