The mismeasure of weather
Coping or hoping? Livelihood diversification and food insecurity in the Covid-19 pandemic
Food insecurity during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in four African countries
Privacy protection, measurement error, and the integration of remote sensing and socioeconomic survey data
When publishing socioeconomic survey data, survey programs implement a variety of statistical methods designed to preserve privacy but which come at the cost of distorting the data. We explore the extent to which spatial anonymization methods to preserve privacy in the large-scale surveys supported by the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) introduce measurement error in econometric estimates…
Unanticipated events, perceptions, and household labor allocation in Zimbabwe
Socioeconomic impacts of Covid-19 in low-income countries
Viewpoint
Ongoing changes to research practices and recent media attention to agricultural and applied economics have raised new ethical problems, but also created opportunities for new solutions. In this paper, we discuss ethical issues facing the profession and propose potential ways in which the field can address these issues. We divide our discussion into two topics. First are ethical issues that arise during the collection, management and analysis of …
Power and resistance
A key role for educational leaders within undergraduate medical education is to continually improve the quality of education; global quality health care is the goal. This paper reports the findings from a study employing a power model to highlight how educational leaders influence the development of undergraduate medical curricula and the resistance they encounter related to this activity. Sixteen educational leaders at a medical university in No…

How does population density influence agricultural intensification and productivity? Evidence from Ethiopia
This study uses household-level panel data on smallholder farmers in Ethiopia to estimate how rural population density (RPD) affects agricultural intensification and productivity. Our results suggest that higher RPD is associated with smaller farm sizes, and has a positive effect on input demand, represented by increased fertilizer use per hectare. Overall, increased input use does not lead to a corresponding increase in staple crop yields, and t…
On the anatomy of understanding
In search for the nature of understanding of basic science in a clinical context, eight medical students were interviewed, with a focus on their view of the discipline of anatomy, in their fourth year of study. Interviews were semi‐structured and took place just after the students had finished their surgery rotations. Phenomenographic analysis was used to explore how the students took on learning the subject matter. An understanding of anatomy co…
