- Food standards, certification, and poverty among coffee farmers in Uganda (2015, background): “, 2004; Bacon, 2005; Arnould et al., 2009; Ruben & Zuniga, 2011), although de Janvry et al. (2010) found that effective price advantages are minimal for some farmers due to overcertification. Over-cerification entails that certified farmers may sell only a small quantity of their coffee through the ”
- Sustainability Standards, Gender, and Nutrition among Smallholder Farmers in Uganda (2016, background): “Concerning the income pathway, several studies have shown that sustainability standards like Fairtrade and Organic can contribute to significant income gains through price premiums, reduced risk, and, in some cases, positive productivity effects (Arnould et al., 2009; Bolwig et al., 2009; Jena et al”
- Explaining the 'hungry farmer paradox': Smallholders and fair trade cooperatives navigate seasonality and change in Nicaragua's corn and coffee markets (2014, methodology): “Questions were drawn from past coffee smallholder household and agricultural surveys addressing similar topics (Arnould et al., 2009; Méndez et al., 2010; Bacon et al., 2008), including a Nicaraguan demography and health survey (INECMINSA, 2001).”
- The ambivalent impact of coffee certification on farmers' welfare: A matched panel approach for cooperatives in Central Kenya (2016, background): “Arnould, Plastina, and Ball (2009) and Becchetti and Costantino (2008) observe positive changes in education and health outcomes related to Fairtrade certification.”
- The Economic Sustainability of Certified Coffee: Recent Evidence from Mexico and Peru (2012, unknown): “…provides a level of robustness generally not seen in the literature on the economics of smallholder coffee production, which relies almost solely on cross sectional data (Arnould et al., 2009; Barham et al., 2011; Beuchelt & Zeller, 2011; Bolwig et al., 2009; Mendez et al., 2010; Valkila, 2009).”
- The Impact of Fair Trade Certification for Coffee Farmers in Peru (2012, background): “13 These findings largely corroborate FT effects registered in some earlier studies that report fairly modest direct income effects and highly uneven effects on parameters of health, education and migration (Arnould et al., 2009; Mendez et al., 2010; Barham et al., 2011). Similarly, major FT effects”
- Reviewing the impacts of coffee certification programmes on smallholder livelihoods (2017, background): “Arnould et al. (2009) asserted that producers with more than 6 years Fair trade participation had improved health indicators relative to other producers.”
- A Review of Ecosystem Services, Farmer Livelihoods, and Value Chains in Shade Coffee Agroecosystems (2011, background): “…several studies include a comparative analysis addressing several livelihood outcomes, such as food insecurity, education, incomes, and vulnerability among farmers connected to certified networks vs. those selling only to conventional coffee value chains (Méndez et al. 2010a; Arnould et al. 2009).”
- Does eco-certification have environmental benefits? Organic coffee in Costa Rica (2012, background): “Only two of these studies—Arnould et al. (2009) and Bolwig et al. (2009)—find that certification has significant socioeconomic benefits, but in both cases the effects are weak or idiosyncratic: Arnould et al.”
