• Impacts of extension access and cooperative membership on technology adoption and household welfare (2017, methodology): “Following the literature (see, Alene and Manyong, 2007; Shiferaw et al., 2014), we used an indicator variable for the presence of private local cassava processors as a potential instrument for cooperative membership and village-level variables for extension access.”
• Adoption of agroforestry and the impact on household food security among farmers in Malawi (2016, methodology): “Such methods of addressing selection bias, assume also that there is only an intercept shift with respect to the outcome variable and not a slope shift in the outcome variable (Alene and Manyong, 2007, Shiferaw et al. 2014).”
• Yield Effects of Tissue Culture Bananas in Kenya: Accounting for Selection Bias and the Role of Complementary Inputs (2012, methodology): “A more efficient and consistent way to estimate the ESR model is the full information maximum likelihood (FIML) method (Greene, 2003; Lokshin and Sajaia, 2004).”
• Analysis of Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Varieties in Eastern Zambia (2015, unknown): “Alene and Manyong (2007) found that education had a greater impact on cowpea yields among adopters of improved varieties relative to its effect on yields among non-adopters.”
• The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, methodology): “This justifies the use of the ESR model that accounts for both endogeneity and sample selection bias (Alene and Manyong 2007; Di Falco et al. 2011; Asfaw et al. 2012).”
• Effect of Agricultural Extension Program on Smallholders' Farm Productivity: Evidence from Three Peasant Associations in the Highlands of Ethiopia (2013, unknown): “Despite the importance of education in increasing farm productivity (Alene & Manyong, 2007; Gebremedhin et al., 2009), surprisingly its effect was negatively significant.”
• Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare: Evidence from Tanzania and Ethiopia (2012, methodology): “This motivates the use of an endogenous switching regression model that accounts for both endogeneity and sample selection (Freeman et al., 2001; Alene and Manyong, 2007; Di Falco et al., 2011).”
