Should African Rural Development Strategies Depend on Smallholder Farms? An Exploration of the Inverse-Productivity Hypothesis (2012, background): “Consequently omitting measures of land quality can systematically biases empirical results (Bhalla and Roy, 1988; Benjamin, 1995; Lamb, 2003; Assuncao and Braido, 2007).”
Land productivity and plot size : is measurement error driving the inverse relationship ? (2017, unknown): “in many Sub-Saharan African countries, states that smaller plots are more productive than larger plots, even within a farm household (Ali and Deininger, 2015; Assunção and Braido, 2007; Barrett et al., 2010).”
Correlated non-classical measurement errors, ‘Second best’ policy inference, and the inverse size-productivity relationship in agriculture (2019, result): “This is consistent with previous arguments that omitted attributes, including unobservable soil quality, may contribute to the disputed inverse size-productivity relationship (Benjamin (1995); Assunção and Braido (2007)).”
