- Is farmer-to-farmer extension effective? The impact of training on technology adoption and rice farming productivity in Tanzania (2018, result): “This is in line with Krishnan and Patnam (2013), who found in Ethiopia that, while the initial impact of training by extension agents was high, the importance of learning from neighbors increased over time in the adoption of fertilizer and improved seeds.”
- Adoption and diffusion of improved technologies and production practices in agriculture: Insights from a donor-led intervention in Nepal (2020, background): “Lastly, social networking has been found important in increasing adoption of improved technologies as well (Bandiera and Rasul, 2006; Conley and Udry, 2010; Foster and Rosenzweig, 1995; Krishnan and Patnam, 2014).”
- Agricultural Transformation in Africa? Assessing the Evidence in Ethiopia (2017, neutral): “…Jayne & Rashid, 2013), roads (e.g., Minten, Koru, & Stifel, 2013), land constraints (e.g., Jayne, Chamberlin, & Headey, 2014), extension (e.g., Krishnan & Patnam, 2014), and cereal intensification (e.g., Spielman, Byerlee, Alemu, & Kelemework, 2010), we discuss these important factors in a…”
- Commercialization of the small farm sector and multidimensional poverty (2019, positive): “The choice of this instrument is inspired by the recent strand of literature on peer learning, showing that farmers tend to learn about the benefits of innovations from their peers (Magnan et al., 2015; Krishnan & Patnam, 2013).”
- To Specialize or Diversify: Agricultural Diversity and Poverty Dynamics in Ethiopia (2017, neutral): “…is an improvement on instruments used in other recent studies of agricultural households and adaptation strategies (such as crop diversification) in Ethiopia (Asrat, Berhane, Getachew, Hoddinott, Nisrane, & Taffesse, 2011; Di Falco et al. , 2011; Di Falco & Veronesi, 2013; Krishnan & Patnam, 2013).”
