Impact of land fragmentation and non-agricultural labor supply on circulation of agricultural land management rights (2017, background): “…this question from the perspectives of resource endowment (Yao, 2000; Liu et al., 2016), land welfare (Cai, 2016a), farmer risk consciousness (Kawasaki, 2010), transaction costs (Wu et al., 2014), land arrangements (Ma et al., 2015; Xie and Jiang, 2016), and the scale of labor migration…”
Does land fragmentation affect farm performance? A case study from Brittany. Factor Markets Working Paper No. 40, April 2013 (2013, unknown): “Kawasaki (2010) evaluated both the costs and benefits of LF in the case of rice production in Japan, similarly to Rahman and Rahman (2008) in Bangladesh.”
Is There a Farm Size–Productivity Relationship in African Agriculture? Evidence from Rwanda (2014, background): “6 Japan, where factor markets work relatively well, a strongly positive relationship between farm size and productivity has been found (Kawasaki 2010).”
Landscape composition, configuration, and trophic interactions shape arthropod communities in rice agroecosystems (2018, background): “Fragmentation of the riceproduction habitat is expected to increase production costs particularly since it constrains mechanization (Kawasaki, 2010); however, it can be beneficial for farmers, as it limits the risks of pest outbreaks, particularly if the production costs are not considerably higher…”
