• Assets, Activities and Income Generation in Rural Mexico: Factoring in Social and Public Capital (2002, background): “Conceptually, the mapping of assets to income through activities can be viewed as similar to a production process, with assets corresponding to factors of production and income as the output of the process (Barrett and Reardon, 2000).”
• Heterogeneous impact of livelihood diversification on household welfare: Cross-country evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa (2019, background): “…of such a response to potential shocks also depends on household characteristics determining the perception and awareness of involuntary anomalies (Barrett & Reardon, 2001) as well as on their inter-temporal discount rate, while the extent to which they expect climatic or market shocks is…”
• Determinants of income diversification among rural households: The case of smallholder farmers in Fedis district, Eastern hararghe zone, Ethiopia (2013, background): “Barrett and Reardon (2000) reported that the share of non/off-farm income in rural Ethiopia averaged about 36% in 1989/90.”
• The dynamics of livelihood diversification in post-famine Ethiopia (2001, unknown): “…of diversification at that point in time (1989) indicates that greater income diversification (out of cropping) was positively associated with per capita income level, higher dependency ratio, location in the highlands, and ownership of non-farm assets (concurring with Barrett et al., 2000).”
• Patterns of income diversification in rural Nigeria: determinants and impacts. (2009, methodology): “Thus, households with most diversified income sources have the largest HDI and vice versa (BARRETT and REARDON, 2000).1 In the descriptive part of the analysis in section 3, we use these three measures in order to portray patterns of income diversification across different types of households.”
• Are Fishers Poor or Vulnerable? Assessing Economic Vulnerability in Small-Scale Fishing Communities (2009, background): “…farm and non-farm subsistence or commercial activities in order to decrease the adverse impact of uncertain environment and market fluctuations (Roumasset et al., 1979; Reardon et al., 1992; Dercon and Krishman, 1996; Carter, 1997; Ellis, 1998; Little et al., 1999; Barrett and Reardon, 2000).”
• Structural Transformation and Rural Change Revisited: Challenges for Late Developing Countries in a Globalizing World (2012, background): “Barrett and Reardon (2000) use a three-way classifi cation for the economic activities of a rural household. They distinguish the sector (primary, secondary, tertiary), function (self- or wage employment), and location (local or elsewhere) of each activity. In this classifi cation, the common defi n”
