Determinants of smallholder farmers' participation in banana markets in Central Africa: the role of transaction costs (2010, background): “Bellemare and Barrett (2006) investigated pastoralists’ market participation in livestock markets in Ethiopia and Kenya by applying an ordered tobit model to assess whether market participation and volume decisions are made simultaneously or sequentially.”
Soil quality and fertilizer use rates among smallholder farmers in western Kenya (2009, background): “An emerging body of literature on smallholder market participation has similarly emphasized the role of transaction costs in smallholder behavior (Bellemare and Barrett, 2006; de Janvry et al., 1991; Goetz, 1992; Key et al., 2000; Renkow et al., 2004; Staal et al., 1997; Vakis et al., 2003).”
The Welfare Impacts of Commodity Price Volatility: Evidence from Rural Ethiopia (2013, unknown): “…social relationships that may confer preferential pricing, and other household-specific transaction costs that determine whether a household is a net buyer of a commodity, autarkic with respect to it, or a net seller of the same commodity (de Janvry et al., 1991; Bellemare and Barrett, 2006).”
Agricultural Technology Adoption, Seed Access Constraints and Commercialization in Ethiopia (2011, background): “Moreover, there is lack of empirical evidence, especially for legumes in Africa, on the linkage between technology adoption, productivity gain and market participation (Balagtas et al., 2007; Bellemare and Barrett, 2006; Bernard et al., 2008; Edmeades, 2006; Gebremedhin et al., 2009).”
Incomplete Credit Markets and Commodity Marketing Behaviour (2011, methodology): “…and Escudero, 1977; Zeldes, 1989; Deaton, 1991), with the literature on market participation (de Janvry et al., 1991; Goetz, 1992; Key et al., 2000; Bellemare and Barrett, 2006) to explore commodity marketing and storage behavior that cumulatively result in ‘sell low, buy high’ grain marketing…”
A Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development (2010, background): “For many, autarkic behavior is a low-level equilibrium (de Janvry et al. 1991; Goetz 1992; Key et al. 2000; Bellemare and Barrett 2006).”
Does Adaptation to Climate Change Provide Food Security? A Micro-Perspective from Ethiopia (2011, unknown): “However, the same criticism could be levelled at previously published, respectable empirical work (see, e.g., Maddala 1983 or Bellemare and Barrett 2006).”
Credit Constraints and Productivity in Peruvian Agriculture (2007, background): “As in the market participation literature (Bellemare and Barrett, 2006; Goetz, 1992; and Key et al., 2000), those households whose willingness to pay for a first-best loan contract falls within this “price band” will refrain from participating in the credit market and, as a result, their resource al”
