The effects of advisory services and technology channeling on farm yields and technical efficiency of wheat farmers in Ethiopia
Impact of agricultural extension services on the adoption of improved wheat variety in Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
An Analysis of the Factors Influencing Choice of Microcredit Sources and Impact of Participation on Household Income
It is widely accepted that rural microcredit has the potential to contribute to poverty reduction in developing countries. This paper examines the factors that affect rural residents' decisions to participate in different types of microcredit sources and how these factors influence household income and consumption, using cross‐sectional data from a recent survey in China. We use a multinomial endogenous switching regression model to account for s…
Household welfare implications of sustainable land management practices among smallholder farmers in Ghana
The dynamics of productive assets, contract duration and holdup
Agricultural Cooperatives and Investment in Organic Soil Amendments and Chemical Fertilizer in China
In this article, we develop a dynamic model to show how membership in agricultural cooperatives influences smallholder farmers' decisions to invest in organic soil amendments and chemical fertilizer. The model considers management decisions of heterogonous producers within an intertemporal framework, with the decision to join the cooperative assumed to be endogenous. Farm‐level data of apple farmers from three provinces in China are used to estim…
Do farmer groups impact on farm yield and efficiency of smallholder farmers? Evidence from rice farmers in northern Ghana
Does trade openness contribute to food security? A dynamic panel analysis
Modeling Preference and Willingness to Pay for Drought Tolerance (DT) in Maize in Rural Zimbabwe
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…
Does cooperative membership improve household welfare? Evidence from apple farmers in China
The Adoption and Impact of Soil and Water Conservation Technology: An Endogenous Switching Regression Application
This paper identifies the factors that affect farmers’ decisions to adopt soil and water conservation technology in Africa and how this technology impacts farm yields and net returns. This technology is important because it improves efficiency of water use from rainfall—a critical issue in water-deficient Sub-Saharan Africa. An analysis of new data from a survey of 342 rice farmers in northern Ghana shows that farmers’ education, capital and labo…
Combining attitudinal statements with choice experiments to analyze preference heterogeneity for functional dairy products
Certification and Access to Export Markets: Adoption and Return on Investment of Organic-Certified Pineapple Farming in Ghana
Organic certification, agro-ecological practices and return on investment: Evidence from pineapple producers in Ghana
Examining the heterogeneity in calorie–income elasticities: A meta-analysis
Food Aid and Malnutrition in Developing Countries: Evidence from Global Food Aid Allocation
This study investigates the allocation of dietary energy, iron, vitamin A and zinc within global food aid. The response of US and non-US donors to nutritional needs and donor interests is estimated with a dynamic correlated random effects Tobit model. Aid flows of the period 1993–2007 are analysed. The empirical results show that nutrient shipments in emergency food aid have been allocated towards poorer countries, but also face inertia and media…
Adoption of safer irrigation technologies and cropping patterns: Evidence from Southern Ghana
The Adoption of Genetically Modified Cotton and Poverty Reduction in Pakistan
This article employs a propensity score‐matching approach to examine the direct effects of adoption of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton on yields, pesticide demand, household income and poverty, using cross‐sectional data from a survey of farmers in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Generally, the findings reveal that adoption of the new technology exerts a positive and significant impact on cotton yields, household income and poverty reduction,…
