- Underinvestment in a Profitable Technology: The Case of Seasonal Migration in Bangladesh (2014, background): “42 Several other papers document very high rates of return to small capital investments in developing countries (Udry and Anagol 2006; de Mel et al. 2008; Bandiera et al. 2011; Duflo et al. 2011; Fafchamps et al. 2011), and this literature must also confront the same question of why households do no”
- Agricultural insurances based on meteorological indices: realizations, methods and research challenges (2013, background): “For instance, quality mineral fertilizer distribution seems to be quite slow to emerge: see Duflo et al. (2009) for a review of potential underlying mechanisms.”
- Mobile Banking: The Impact of M-Pesa in Kenya (2011, background): “The inability to save cash-holdings has been shown to be a constraint to fertilizer adoption in Western Kenya (Duflo et al. 2010) and promotes participation in ROSCAS which can act as a commitment saving device (Gugerty, 2007).”
- Commitments to save: a field experiment in rural Malawi (2011, positive): “Dupas and Robinson (2012a) offer ordinary savings accounts to Kenyan urban entrepreneurs, finding positive impacts on investment and income for women.”
- Market inefficiencies and the adoption of agricultural technologies in developing countries 1 (2013, background): “In Kenya, Duflo, Kremer, and Robinson will follow up on their earlier finding that present-bias leads to underadoption of fertilizer due to the lag between the harvest time (when cash is most available) and the planting season when fertilizer purchase takes place.”
