• The effects of education on agricultural productivity under traditional and improved technology in northern Nigeria: an endogenous switching regression analysis (2007, result): “This is in agreement with recent evidence from Zimbabwe that access to agricultural extension services, defined as receiving one or two visits per agricultural year, raises farm production by about 15% ( Owens et al. 2001 ).”
• Limits to Green Revolution in rice in Africa: The case of Ghana (2017, background): “Since 1 A common measure of productivity used in the literature is the value of yield per hectare of various crops (see Owens, Hoddinott, and Kinsey 2003; Peterman et al. 2011) to capture intercropped systems.”
• Contested paradigms of ‘viability’ in redistributive land reform: perspectives from southern Africa (2009, background): “Kinsey and colleagues argued that these (mostly) positive results emerged after a time lag, with an establishment phase where people organised themselves, gained access to services, and accumulated productive assets (Kinsey 2003, Owens et al. 2003).”
• Understanding the Complexities Surrounding Gender Differences in Agricultural Productivity in Nigeria and Uganda (2011, background): “Following Owens et al. (2003), our multi-crop productivity outcome is a measure of value of crop yield per area unit.”
• The impact of agricultural extension services in the context of a heavily subsidized input system: The case of Malawi (2018, methodology): “…expressed as a function of land, capital, inputs, and other factors (see review by Birkhaeuser, Evenson, and Feder 1991, and more recent studies by Owens, Hoddinott, and Kinsey 2003 and Peterman et al. 2011); or by using frontier models, in which extension services are used as a factor to explain…”
• Impacts of extension access and cooperative membership on technology adoption and household welfare (2017, background): “For instance, Owens et al. (2003) reported a 15% gain in crop productivity due to extension access in rural Zimbabwe.”
