Agricultural statistics and applied analyses have benefitted from moving from farmer estimates of yield to crop cut based estimates, now regarded as a gold standard. However, in practice, crop cuts and other sample-based protocols vary widely in the details of their implementations and little empirical work has documented how alternative yield estimation methods perform. Here, […] Source: IFPRI Ethiopia: Ethiopia Strategy Support Program
Journal Article- Earned and Unerned Income: Experimental Evidence on Expenditure and Labor Supply in Malawi
Questions related to how individuals treat different types of incomes, i.e. earned and unearned have long history in economics and policy making. This study used a field experiment in Malawi to examine the differential short-term effect of earned and u... Source: IFPRI Malawi: Malawi Strategy Support Program
Mismatch between soil nutrient requirements and fertilizer applications: Implications for yield responses in Ethiopia
Lack of accurate information about soil nutrient requirements coupled with limited access to appropriate fertilizers could lead to mismatch between soil nutrient requirements and fertilizer applications. Such anomalies and mismatches are likely to have important implications for agricultural productivity. In this paper we use experimental (spectral soil analysis) data from Ethiopia to examine farmers’ response […] Source: IFPRI Ethiopia: Ethiopia Strategy Support Program
Prices of vegetables and fruits in Ethiopia: Trends and implications for consumption and nutrition
ESSP Working Paper 157 by Fantu Nisrane Bachewe and Bart Minten. Abstract: We study price behavior of vegetables and fruits in Ethiopia over the 15 year period from 2005 to 2019 based on large-scale retail and producer price datasets. This is an important topic given the importance of prices for consumption decisions for these nutritious […] Source: IFPRI Ethiopia: Ethiopia Strategy Support Program
Incentivising and retaining public servants in remote areas: A discrete choice experiment with agricultural extension agents in Ethiopia
Increased deployment of agricultural extension agents (EAs) in rural areas is recommended to spur agricultural productivity and mitigate spatial imbalances in welfare. However, high turnover and low motivation levels of EAs in remote areas pose challenges for equitable service provision and, in some cases, exacerbate geographical welfare disparities. We assess the effectiveness of selected potential […] Source: IFPRI Ethiopia: Ethiopia Strategy Support Program
