• Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Rice Varieties among Rural Farm Households in Central Nepal (2015, methodology): “This result is consistent with earlier literatures (Langyintuo and Mungoma, 2008; Kassie et al, 2011; Asfaw et al, 2012).”
• Adoption and diffusion of improved technologies and production practices in agriculture: Insights from a donor-led intervention in Nepal (2020, background): “2012), and access to seed (Langyintuo and Mungoma, 2008; Ghimire et al., 2015) also influence technology adoption.”
• Climate change and agricultural technology adoption: the case of drought tolerant maize in rural Nigeria (2012, background): “…factors that influence adoption decisions in agriculture (e.g. Feder and Umali 1993; Knowler and Bradshaw 2007) and recent adoption studies (e.g. Langyintuo and Mungoma 2008) have shown that no single general model can explain adoption decision independently because in many cases, different…”
• Hidden child labour : determinants of housework and family business work of children in 16 developing countries (2012, methodology): “Using a method developed by Filmer and Pritchett (1998), we ranked all households within a country from low to high on the basis of their assets and subsequently divided this variable into wealth deciles.”
• Analysis of Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Varieties in Eastern Zambia (2015, unknown): “Langyintuo and Mungoma (2008) also noted that the increase in the adoption rate and use intensity of improved maize varieties had subsequent impacts on food security and general livelihoods of households in Zambia.”
• Smallholder Farmers and Collective Action: What Determines the Intensity of Participation? (2014, methodology): “We use a double-hurdle (DH) model (Cragg 1971; Langyintuo and Mungoma 2008), which implies that the decision to sell through the group and the decision of how much to sell are two separate decisions.”
