When wages rise, quality falls
Substitute or complement? Quantity–quality effects of agricultural production diversity and market access on diets
In many developing countries, rural households meet their food needs through both self-production and market purchases, but evidence on the relative and joint roles of these channels in shaping dietary diversity and dietary quality remains limited. Using household panel data from rural China spanning 2004–2011, we provide micro-level evidence from a major developing-country context to examine the quantity–quality effects of agricultural productio…
Associations between experiencing bullying and student well-being
The connections between bullying and student well-being in rural areas are not well understood, particularly among younger, more vulnerable students. This study aims to explore the relationship between bullying experiences and the academic performance and mental health of primary and junior high school students in rural China. The sample comprised 1609 students from 30 schools (20 primary schools and 10 junior high schools) in Gansu province. A s…

Health implications of cooking energy transition
The transition towards advanced residential energy sources is a pressing priority for many countries. Despite this, solid fuels remain the dominant form of cooking energy for rural households in developing countries. This study investigates the physical and mental health impacts of cooking energy choices by using endogenous switching models to address selection bias associated with cooking energy adoption and to distinguish the health impacts of …
Do outsourcing services provided by agricultural cooperatives affect technical efficiency? Insights from tobacco farmers in China
In this study, we assess whether household outsourcing production tasks provided by tobacco cooperatives affect household technical efficiency, using the survey data from 449 households in Guizhou Province, China in 2014. The one‐step estimation of the stochastic frontier production function is employed. We also use the instrumental variable approach to address the potential selection biases that may arise from unobserved factors that are correla…
Transfer or retain land development right
This paper evaluates the popularly adopted recent land development programme under ‘increasing versus decreasing balance’ policy in China to boost inclusive development of the urban and rural in the face of rapid urbanisation. We distinguish two types of increasing versus decreasing balance land programmes based on the different ways they manage land development rights and offer qualitative and quantitative evidence of the programme effects on vi…
Growing Pains
Families that rely on rain-fed agriculture are prone to rainfall shocks. We use a unique data set of at-risk children in rural Rwanda to estimate the impact of rainfall shocks during a child’s in utero period. We find that increases in in utero rainfall during the midseason period increase child height-for-age z-scores but that increases in in utero rainfall in the harvest period lower these z-scores. In light of these period-specific effects, an…
Addressing Declining Female Labor Force Participation in India
Despite income growth, fertility decline, and educational expansion, female labour force participation in rural India dropped precipitously over the last decade. Nation-wide individual-level data allow us to explore if random reservation of village leadership for females affected women’s access to job opportunities, their demand for participation in the labour force, and income as well as intra-household bargaining in the short-and medium term. G…
The Association between Video Game Time and Adolescent Mental Health
As digital devices like computers become more widely available in developing countries, there is a growing need to understand how the time that adolescents spend using these devices for recreational purposes such as playing video games is linked with their mental health outcomes. We measured the amount of time that adolescents in rural China spent playing video games and the association of video game time with their mental health. We collected da…
Has Covid-19 accelerated the E-commerce of agricultural products? Evidence from sales data of E-stores in China
The Effect of Pension Income on Land Transfers
In this study, we use an exogenous income variation generated from the Chinese New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) to examine the causal effects of pension income receipt on rural households’ land transfers. The regression discontinuity design (RDD) results show that pension income receipt would increase the probability of a senior household to rent out land by about 8–14 percentage points. In contrast, the NRPS program has no significant effect on h…

Impacts of cooperative membership on rice productivity
Inheritance Law Reform, Empowerment, and Human Capital Accumulation
Although many studies point towards significant positive impacts of Hindu Succession Act (HSA) reforms on females’ empowerment and access to human and physical capital, the fact that this reform also led to increased female mortality raises questions about long-term sustainability of reform effects. We use evidence from three states, one of which amended the HSA in 1994, to assess first- and second-generation effects of this reform using a triple…

Does Female Reservation Affect Long-Term Political Outcomes? Evidence from Rural India
Although many studies have explored the \n impacts of political quotas for females, often with \n ambiguous results, the underlying mechanisms and long-term \n effects have received little attention. This paper uses \n nation-wide data from India spanning a 15-year period to \n explore how reservations affect leader qualifications, \n service delivery, political participation, local \n accountability, and individuals willingness to contribute \n …

Do organisational forms of the coffee supply chain matter in poverty reduction
This paper compares the economic effects of two organisational forms of the coffee supply chain (cooperative and private processors) in Rwanda and assesses quantitatively which form has benefited producers the most. The paper uses panel data from 148 coffee-producing households. Results based on a combination of the instrumental variable method and first differencing show that there is no indication that farmers who sell to cooperative factories …
Land rental markets in the process of rural structural transformation
Land Reforms, Poverty Reduction, and Economic Growth
Recognition of the importance of institutions that provide security of property rights and relatively equal access to economic resources to a broad cross-section of society has renewed interest in the potential of asset redistribution, including land reforms. Empirical analysis of the impact of such policies is, however, scant and often contradictory. We use panel household data from India, together with state-level variation in the land reform i…

The Impact of Property Rights on Households' Investment, Risk Coping, and Policy Preferences
Even though it is widely recognized that \n giving farmers more secure land rights may increase \n agricultural investment, scholars contend that, in the case \n of China, such a policy might undermine the function of land \n as a social safety net and, as a consequence, not be \n sustainable or command broad support. Data from three \n provinces, one of which had adopted a policy to increase \n security of tenure in advance of the others, sugges…
