  • Bundling Genetic and Financial Technologies for More Resilient and Productive Small-Scale Farmers in Africa

    Open AccessStephen R Boucher, M Carter et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2024Cited by: 2References: 32

    Using a multi-year, spatially diversified randomised controlled trial spanning two African countries, this paper explores whether a complementary bundle of genetic and financial technologies can boost the resilience and productivity of small-scale farmers. The analysis shows that both moderate droughts and more severe yield losses undermine the resilience of control-group households, and that these shocks have long-lasting effects as farmers inve…

  • The Routledge Handbook of Collective Intelligence for Democracy and Governance

    Open AccessStephen R Boucher, Stephen Boucher et al.BOOKThe Routledge Handbook of…2023

    Our knowledge of the status and trends in natural resources and the environment in the Arctic is limited, making natural resource management decisions difficult.

Through the collective intelligence of resident communities and visitors, citizen science enables valuable data and informa…

Other high income countries, as well as som…

  • Direct Elicitation of Credit Constraints

    Stephen R Boucher, Catherine Guirkinger et al.ARTICLEEconomic Development and Cultural…2009Cited by: 6References: 24

    This article provides a methodological bridge leading from the well‐developed theory of credit rationing to the less developed territory of empirically identifying credit constraints. We begin by developing a simple model showing that credit constraints may take three forms: quantity rationing, transaction cost rationing, and risk rationing. Each form adversely affects household resource allocation and thus should be accounted for in empirical an…
