The puzzle of East and Southeast Asia's persistent smallholder (2016, background): “Three broad approaches to the ‘problem’ of tenancy have been enacted across East Asia since 1945 (Lipton, 2009: 162- 3): Revolutionary redistribution by collectivisation in Cambodia, China, North Korea and Vietnam (and failed collectivisation in the Lao PDR), followed by de-collectivisation since…”
The Rise of Large Farms in Land Abundant Countries: Do They Have a Future? (2011, background): “While there is little evidence of significant recent changes in agrarian structure in land scarce countries (Lipton 2009), many land-abundant countries are characterized by rising investment in large-scale farming based on a nonfamily corporate model, a trend that can but need not be accompanied by…”
Challenges posed by the new wave of farmland investment (2011, background): “Unless they are disadvantaged by policy distortions in favor of large farms (Binswanger et al. 1995b), they will produce more efficiently than wage labor-based operations, which need to spend resources supervising workers (Allen and Lueck 1998, Binswanger and Deininger 1997, Lipton 2009).”
Africa's changing farm size distribution patterns: the rise of medium-scale farms (2016, background): “…Asia and most other agricultural growth successes have occurred with steadily rising absolute numbers of rural and agricultural populations for extended periods of time, with Asia’s rural population only having begun to decline very recently (Bezemer and Hazell, 2006; Lipton, 2009, p. 100).”
The new enclosures: critical perspectives on corporate land deals (2012, background): “…rural bias debate between Byres and Lipton (Kay 2009, 109-115) and which intersect with more specific arguments on the so-called ‘inverse relationship’ between farm size and productivity (see also Byres 2004, Bernstein 2010, Griffin et al 2002, Lipton 2009, Hazell et al. 2010, Wiggins et al. 2010).”
Land Reform and Productivity: A Quantitative Analysis with Micro Data (2019, unknown): “The idea that impediments to the functioning of land markets can raise the costs associated with implementing land reforms is echoed in Deininger and Feder (2001) and Lipton (2009).”
Plantations, outgrowers and commercial farming in Africa: agricultural commercialisation and implications for agrarian change (2017, background): “Debates continue about the relative merits of large and small farms, their implications for labour absorption, rural livelihoods and growth in Africa’s farm sector (Lipton 2009; World Bank 2008; Collier and Dercon 2014; cf. Deininger and Byerlee 2011; Baglioni and Gibbon 2013).”
The Relationship between Farm Size and Productivity in Agriculture: Evidence from Maize Production in Northern China (2019, unknown): “An inversed farm size–productivity relationship is widely observed in developing Asian countries (Bardhan 1973; Sen 1975; Heltberg 1998; Lipton 2009; Hayami 2001, 2009), following the notion of “small is beautiful” initially observed by Chayanov (first published in Russia 1925, see Chaia_nov 1986).”
Contested paradigms of ‘viability’ in redistributive land reform: perspectives from southern Africa (2009, background): “In this version of land reform the major beneficiaries should be efficient, smallscale farmers, who are enabled by appropriate rural development policies to maximise returns of land and contribute to rural non-farm economic growth (Lipton 2009).”
What Drives the Global Land Rush? (2011, unknown): “…2010), as demonstrated in recent rapid poverty reduction in Asian economies such as China, and the fact that the majority of the poor still live in rural areas have led many to highlight the importance of a farm structure based on smallholders for poverty reduction (Lipton 2009, World Bank 2007).”
‘We Are All Poor Here’: Economic Difference, Social Divisiveness and Targeting Cash Transfers in Sub-Saharan Africa (2012, background): “…ofMichael Lipton’s work over four decades has been the crucial role of productivity gains in small-farm agriculture for rural poverty reduction (Lipton, 1977, 2009; IFAD, 2001), there are many sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries in which such productivity gains have stubbornly refused to…”
The future of small farms in Asia (2016, unknown): “2 1 Introduction Many studies have found an inverse relationship between farm size and productivity in South Asia, indicating that small farms are more efficient than large farms (for example, Heltberg, 1998; Lipton, 2009).”
Global resource grabs, agribusiness concentration and the smallholder: two West African case studies (2012, background): “Productivity issues were raised in the context of an inverse relationship (IR) between farm size and productivity, in which it was argued that smallholders were more productive than large estates in terms of output per area of land (Berry and Cline, 1979, Binswanger et al. 1995, Lipton 2010).”
