Developing incentives and economic mechanisms for in situ biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes (2007, background): “Various recent studies have analyzed the contribution of crop diversity to the mean and variance of agricultural yields and farm income (Smale et al., 1998; Schläpfer et al., 2002; Widawsky and Rozelle, 1998; Di Falco and Perrings, 2003, 2005; Birol et al., 2006).”
To Specialize or Diversify: Agricultural Diversity and Poverty Dynamics in Ethiopia (2017, unknown): “These include Rosenzweig and Binswanger (1993), Alderman and Paxson (1994), Dercon (1996), Little, Smith, Cellarius, Coppock, and Barrett (2001), and Di Falco and Perrings (2005).”
Diversification strategies and adaptation deficit: evidence from rural communities in Niger. (2018, unknown): “…climatic events, uncertain agricultural production but also unexpected market shocks (Asmah, 2011; Barrett, Reardon, & Webb, 2001; Di Falco, Adinolfi, Bozzola, & Capitanio, 2014; Di Falco & Perrings, 2005; Di Falco, Veronesi, & Yesuf, 2011; Heltberg, Oviedo, & Talukdar, 2015; Morduch, 1995).”
Managing Increasing Environmental Risks Through Agro-Biodiversity and Agri-Environmental Policies (2010, unknown): “Indeed, the extent to which farmers rely on agro-biodiversity as a natural insurance is found to be aﬀected by agricultural policies such as subsidized crop yield insurance or direct ﬁnancial assistance (Di Falco and Perrings, 2005).”
An agent‐based model of farmer decision‐making and water quality impacts at the watershed scale under markets for carbon allowances and a second‐generation biofuel crop (2011, methodology): “The results here are consistent with other studies, such as Falco and Perrings [2005] , which have found risk aversion to be a major reason for farmers to diversify their activities.”
Risk Preferences and Environmental Uncertainty: Implications for Crop Diversification Decisions in Ethiopia (2012, result): “This finding has been confirmed by, among others, di Falco and Perrings (2005) and di Falco and Chavas (2006).”
On Crop Biodiversity, Risk Exposure, and Food Security in the Highlands of Ethiopia (2009, unknown): “As such, the specifications (4)–(5) expand on previous studies of crop genetic diversity (Smale et al. 1998; Widawsky and Rozelle 1998; Di Falco and Perrings 2005).”
Rainfall Shocks, Resilience, and the Effects of Crop Biodiversity on Agroecosystem Productivity (2008, background): “Di Falco and Perrings (2005), found a positive relationship between crop biodiversity and agricultural production in a case study on cereal production in southern Italy.”
