Youth Migration Decisions in Sub-Saharan Africa
Open AccessMulubrhan Amare, Kibrom A Abay et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2021Citada por: 9Referencias: 45
This article examines the implications of urban growth on youth migration decisions in Nigeria. We use night light intensity data combined with Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture data, as an indicator of urban growth and associated economic opportunities. Employing alternative econometric approaches that exploit the spatial and temporal differences in urban growth as proxied by night light intensity, we find that…

Land ownership and technology adoption revisited
Open AccessDi Zeng, Jeffrey Alwang et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2018Citada por: 6Referencias: 25
The lack of land ownership can discourage agricultural technology adoption, yet there is scarce evidence of the impact of land rental contracts on the adoption of improved crop varieties in developing countries. The current study investigates such impact using a nationally representative survey of Ethiopian maize farmers. In contrast to many previous studies, we show in a simple model that cash-renters are as likely to adopt improved maize variet…
Modeling Preference and Willingness to Pay for Drought Tolerance (DT) in Maize in Rural Zimbabwe
Open AccessGirma T Kassie, Awudu Abdulai et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2017Citada por: 6Referencias: 2
Maize plays a leading role in the food security of millions in southern Africa, yet it is highly vulnerable to the moisture stress brought about by the erratic rainfall patterns that characterize weather systems in the area. Developing and making drought-tolerant maize varieties available to farmers in the region has thus long been a key goal on the regional development agenda. Farm-level adoption of these varieties, however, depends on local per…

Managing vulnerability to drought and enhancing livelihood resilience in sub-Saharan Africa
Open AccessBekele Shiferaw, Kindie Tesfaye et al.ARTICLEWeather and Climate Extremes2014
Agriculture and the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are highly sensitive to climatic variability. Drought, in particular, represents one of the most important natural factors contributing to malnutrition and famine in many parts of the region. The overall impact of drought on a given country/region and its ability to recover from the resulting social, economic and environmental impacts depends on several factors. The economic, social and en…

Adoption of Multiple Sustainable Agricultural Practices in Rural Ethiopia
Open AccessHailemariam Teklewold, Menale Kassie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Agricultural Economics2013
The adoption and diffusion of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) has become an important issue in the development‐policy agenda for sub‐Saharan Africa, especially as a way to tackle land degradation, low agricultural productivity and poverty. However, the adoption rates of SAPs remain below expected levels. This study analyses the factors that facilitate or impede the probability and level of adoption of interrelated SAPs, using recent dat…

Watershed externalities, shifting cropping patterns and groundwater depletion in Indian semi-arid villages
Open AccessBekele Shiferaw, V Ratna Reddy et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2008Citada por: 2Referencias: 3
Frequent droughts and groundwater depletion are critical constraints to improving agricultural productivity in the semi-arid tropics. India has been promoting integrated watershed management in drought-prone areas to address these constraints. Watershed communities are being assisted to invest in groundwater re-charging facilities. While communities and the public bear such costs, individual farmers capture irrigation benefits. Groundwater is a f…
