Land productivity and plot size : is measurement error driving the inverse relationship ? (2017, unknown): “This relationship has been observed in many developing countries and can be considered a stylized fact (Kimhi, 2006; Larson et al., 2014).”
Revisiting the Farm Size‐Productivity Relationship Based on a Relatively Wide Range of Farm Sizes: Evidence from Kenya (2019, unknown): “For example, in Zambia, maize yield was found to decline with operated farm size up to about three hectares, which constitutes 86% of the study sample, and rise thereafter (Kimhi 2006).”
Close to the edge: High productivity at plot peripheries and the inverse size-productivity relationship (2020, background): “2See for example, Collier (1983); Barrett (1996); Kimhi (2006); Barrett, Bellemare and Hou (2010); Larson et al. (2014) (Africa), Sen (1962); Mazumdar (1965); Bardhan (1973); Carter (1984); Heltberg (1998); Benjamin and Brandt (2002); Rios and Shively (2005) (Asia), Alvarez and Arias (2004)…”
Is There a Farm Size–Productivity Relationship in African Agriculture? Evidence from Rwanda (2014, background): “A positive relationship between output per hectare and farm size also was found in Zambia, although it becomes U-shaped if endogeneity of plot size is considered (Kimhi 2006).”
