Citations in the corpus

• The Changing Structure of Africa's Economies (2017, background): “Although not the central focus of this paper, it is worth noting that the cross-country heterogeneity has important policy implications, some of which have been described in recent work by Dercon and Gollin (2014).”
• Accelerating Poverty Reduction in Africa (2019, background): “Il se peut qu’assurer des groupes d’agriculteurs soit plus réaliste (avec des indices reflétant le risque agrégé) que d’assurer des agriculteurs individuellement (Dercon et al., 2014).”
• Beyond Agriculture Versus Non-Agriculture: Decomposing Sectoral Growth–Poverty Linkages in Five African Countries (2016, background): “…that is, agriculture versus nonagriculture, still underpins much of the debate over which sources of economic growth are most important for poverty reduction in African countries south of the Sahara (SSA) (see, for example, Dercon 2009; Diao, Hazell, and Thurlow 2010; Collier and Dercon 2014).”
• On the Structural Transformation of Rural Africa (2017, background): “With full integration, food imports can in principle enable an economy to skip some of the above stages by redirecting labor directly from agriculture into industry, relying on manufactured export earnings to finance food imports (Dercon 2009, Dercon and Gollin 2014).”
• Revisiting the Farm Size‐Productivity Relationship Based on a Relatively Wide Range of Farm Sizes: Evidence from Kenya (2019, unknown): “However, recent studies have questioned the viability of a smallholder-led growth strategy in Africa (e.g., Collier and Dercon 2014; Dercon and Gollin 2014).”
