- The ambivalent impact of coffee certification on farmers' welfare: A matched panel approach for cooperatives in Central Kenya (2016, background): “3 Valkila (2009) and Valkila and Nygren (2010) point to the requirements of input use and labor intensification for obtaining certification that lead to higher costs and lower net margins.”
- Reviewing the impacts of coffee certification programmes on smallholder livelihoods (2017, background): “Several studies use the phrase ‘capacity building’ to describe the institutional support available to farmers from schemes (e.g. Raynolds et al. 2004; UttingChamorro 2005; Utting 2009; Mendez et al. 2010; Valkila & Nygren 2010).”
- The Economics of Fair Trade (2014, background): “For example, Podhorsky (2010), focusing on environmental standards, shows that in an environment with heterogeneous firms, a voluntary certification program never decreases consumer welfare. Similarly, Podhorsky (2013b) shows that in a two-country model of North–South trade with differentiated produ”
- Food standards, certification, and poverty among coffee farmers in Uganda (2015, methodology): “…the methods used, many impact studies do not control for possible selection bias (Utting-Chamorro, 2005; Bacon et al., 2008; Valkila, 2009; Valkila & Nygren, 2010; Beuchelt & Zeller, 2011), so it is unclear whether observed differences between certified and non-certified farmers are…”

- A Review of Ecosystem Services, Farmer Livelihoods, and Value Chains in Shade Coffee Agroecosystems (2011, result): “Fair trade premiums have yielded mixed effects, with some studies citing high returns (Calo and Wise 2005), while others demonstrate that fair trade premiums do not provide workers with higher wages or greater security than those working in uncertified coffee farms (Valkila and Nygren 2010).”
- Exploring double side-selling in cooperatives, case study of four coffee cooperatives in Rwanda (2013, background): “There is ample evidence for Latin American fair trade cooperatives (see, e.g., Wollni and Zeller (2007), Chaddad and Boland (2009), Bacon (2010), Valkila and Nygren (2010) and Barham et al. (2011)), but recent work on African coffee cooperatives is scarce.”
- Fair Trade organic coffee production in Nicaragua — Sustainable development or a poverty trap? (2009, background): “Working conditions in Fair Trade organic coffee production in Nicaragua are not superior to the working conditions in rural Nicaragua in general (Valkila and Nygren, 2009).”
