- Revisiting the Role of Education for Agricultural Productivity (2013, unknown): “The phenomenon that Welch (1970) labeled as the “worker effect” is conceptually almost equivalent to what more recent studies typically describe with the term “technical efficiency” (Azhar 1991).”
- Farm productivity and efficiency in rural Bangladesh: the role of education revisited (2009, background): “Nevertheless, there is some agreement in the literature that education significantly influences the adoption of technological innovations in agriculture (for e.g., Hossain et al., 1990; Asfaw and Admassie, 2004; Weir and Knight, 2004.)”
- Women's labour contribution to productivity and efficiency in agriculture: empirical evidence from Bangladesh. (2010, unknown): “For example, Appleton and Balihuta (1996), Weir and Knight (2004), and Asadullah and Rahman (2009) report decreasing returns to scale in cereal/rice production for Ugandan, Ethiopian and Bangladeshi farmers, respectively.”
