Limitations of yields as a measure of farm productivity: Evidence from Uganda
The farm size–yields relationship is not informative for improving agricultural productivity among small landholders in developing countries
-
Land rights and agricultural productivity: Evidence from China
Weak land rights among farmers reduces agricultural productivity and output, hitting skilled farmers hardest
-
Farm size and productivity: Evidence from India
As small farms grow productivity declines, but past a certain threshold output and productivity increase
-
Easing contracting frictions with machines: Evidence from India

-
When agriculture drives development: Lessons from the Green Revolution
Investments in agricultural technology have substantially improved living standards in the poorest places on our planet over the past half century
-
Why promising trials often fail to result in agricultural yield gains: Evidence from Kenya
Farmer selection and researcher interference during trials can introduce bias, impacting how new technologies perform in real-world conditions
-
Encouraging agricultural technology adoption through autonomy: Evidence from Mexico
While farming practices were not initially enhanced, low-income farmers in Mexico with autonomy substantially improved two years post-intervention
