Structural Change With Long‐Run Income and Price Effects (2015, neutral): “These preferences, which we will refer to as nonhomothetic Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) preferences, have been studied by Gorman (1965), Hanoch (1975), Sato (1975), and Blackorby and Russell (1981) in the context of static, partial-equilibrium models.”
China and India: What's in it for Africa? (2006, background): “agriculture, where productivity gains are key to jump starting industrialization (Gollin et al. 2002), infrastructures or social-economic building-blocks of growth (education and health in particular).”
Harvesting Prosperity: Technology and Productivity Growth in Agriculture (2019, positive): “This is because growth in agricultural productivity leads to higher incomes, promotes nonfarm jobs, and enables people to move out of agriculture over time (Gollin, Parente, and Rogerson 2002; McMillan and Harttgen 2014).”

The Food Problem and the Evolution of International Income Levels (2007, methodology): “Gollin et al. (2002) also use the model to interpret the evolution of international income differences.”
The Role of the Structural Transformation in Aggregate Productivity (2010, background): “This process has been extensively documented.(10) The structural transformation is characterized by a systematic fall in the share of employment in agriculture over time, by a steady increase in the share of employment in services, and by a hump-shaped pattern for the share of employment in manufact”
The effects of land markets on resource allocation and agricultural productivity (2017, neutral): “Therefore, while the level of dispersion in marginal products may reflect some measurement error, differences in the dispersion of marginal products across differing groups (location and time) should not be as (32)See related discussions in Restuccia and Santaeulàlia-Llopis (2017), De Magalhães and ”
