Recent attention paid to sharecropping is mainly that by agricultural economists. One individual has claimed that, under certain assumptions, sharecropping is efficient. Other literature on this topic has since been abundant. This literature is rife with analytical models. These models can be categorized as competitive, non-competitive, uncertain and agency types. These models have served to enlighten on the topic of sharecropping and hold the promise of future insights.
