• Cropping system diversification, conservation tillage and modern seed adoption in Ethiopia: Impacts on household income, agrochemical use and demand for labor (2013, result): “…of theoretical work and previous similar empirical adoption and impact studies (Bandiera and Rasul, 2006; D'Souza et al., 1993; Di Falco et al., 2010; Fuglie, 1999; Kasem and Thapa, 2011; Kassie et al., 2010, 2011; Knowler and Bradshaw, 2007; Lee, 2005; Neill and Lee, 2001; Wollni et al., 2010).”
• Economics, adoption determinants, and impacts of micro-irrigation technologies: empirical results from India (2007, background): “Normally, one would expect the older farmers to have a lower chance of adoption of new innovations ( Neil and Lee 2001 ).”
• Conservation agriculture, organic marketing, and collective action in the Honduran hillsides (2010, background): “Previous studies have found that in regions where off-farm employment plays a major role, farmers are less likely to divert labor to conservation practices if the economic returns from off-farm labor are higher than the perceived benefits from investing scarce labor in soil conservation (Jansen, Pen”
• An Inquiry into Constraints on a Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of NERICA Rice in Uganda (2011, background): “…the production of other cash crops tend to discontinue the adoption of laborintensive cropping systems in developing countries since their opportunity costs of adopting such systems are high (Barrett, Moser, McHugh, & Barison, 2004; Moser & Barrett, 2003; Moser & Barrett, 2006; Neill & Lee, 2001).”
• Adoption of multiple sustainable agricultural practices in rural Ethiopia (2013, methodology): “The adoption models include several explanatory variables based on economic theory and previous empirical adoption studies (D’Souza et al., 1993; Neill and Lee, 2001; Arellanes and Lee, 2003; Lee, 2005; Marenya and Barrett 2007; Knowler and Bradshaw, 2007; Kassie et al., 2010; Wollni et al., 2010).”
• Adoption and continued use of improved maize seeds: Case study of Central Ethiopia (2010, methodology): “Since adoption occurs before continuation or discontinuation of a technology, variables that are stable overtime are the ones assumed to affect technology adoption (Neill and Lee, 2001).”
• Does Adoption Of Multiple Climate-Smart Practices Improve Farmers’ Climate Resilience? Empirical Evidence From The Nile Basin Of Ethiopia (2017, background): “…similar empirical adoption and impact studies on integrated natural resource management and sustainable land management (D’Souza et al. 1993; Neill and Lee 2001; Arellanes and Lee 2003; Gebremedhin and Scott 2003; Lee 2005; Bandiera and Rasul 2006; Marenya and Barrett 2007; Knowler and…”
• Will Farmers Trade Profits for Stewardship? Heterogeneous Motivations for Farm Practice Selection (2008, background): “For extensive surveys of the literature see Rabin (1998) on psychology and economics, Fehr and Fischbacher (2003) on altruism, Hoffman (2000) on the evolution of cooperation, and Kahneman, Waker, and Sarin (1997) on utility theory and psychology—from which we take most of the following story.”
• Policies for sustainable development in the hillside areas of Honduras: a quantitative livelihoods approach (2006, background): “, 2002), disadoption of fertilizer bean in northern Honduras (Neill and Lee, 2001) and increasing demand, have resulted in an expansion of the agricultural frontier into primary forest areas and increasing pressure on the natural resource base in hillside areas.”
• Crop diversification as a smallholder livelihood strategy within semi-arid agricultural systems near Mount Kenya (2015, background): “Multiple studies have inspected how planting strategies and, accordingly, crop species diversity, are affected by farm-level abiotic conditions, such as rainfall, as well as socioeconomic conditions, household demographics, farmer experiences, and community-level characteristics (Napier and Camboni,”
