• Rural market imperfections and the role of institutions in collective action to improve markets for the poor (2008, background): “Structural problems of poor infrastructure (Kydd and Dorward, 2004; Dorward et al. , 2005) and lack of market institutions (World Bank, 2002) continue to characterize the subsector with high transaction costs, coordination failure and pervasive market imperfections.”
• The Impacts of Public Investment in and for Agriculture: Synthesis of the Existing Evidence (2012, background): “Reasons for the existence of multiple equilibria are the prevalence of complementarities between many forms of capital and thus between the economic activities that would generate these different types of capital (Kydd and Dorward 2004).”
• Improving market access and agricultural productivity growth in Africa: what role for producer organizations and collective action institutions? (2011, background): “Structural problems of poor infrastructure and weak institutions (Kydd and Dorward 2004; Dorward et al. 2005; World Bank 2002) continue to characterize the agricultural sub-sector in many parts of Africa (Shiferaw et al.”
• An innovation systems approach to institutional change: Smallholder development in West Africa (2012, background): “This judgement is supported by other studies of African agricultural institutions (e.g., Eicher (1999: 8) on the institutional reasons for what he calls Africa’s ‘empty harvest’; Scott (1998) on Ujamaa villages in Tanzania; Kydd and Dorward (2004) and Poulton et al. (2006) on coordination problems; ”
• Cooperative membership and dairy performance among smallholders in Ethiopia (2016, background): “This includes transportation inputs, the costs of meeting standards, and in general the costs associated with coordinating product attributes and delivery conditions along the value chain (Kydd and Dorward, 2004).”
• Investing in smallholder agriculture for food security (2013, background): “These conditions dramatically limit willingness to invest (Kydd and Dorward, 2004).”
