Citations in the corpus

• Price Transmission and Trader Entry in Domestic Commodity Markets (2008, background): “This is not implausible because Ugandan coffee growers nearly always sell at the farm gate (Fafchamps and Hill 2005) and during the study period had no access to publicly available price information.”
• Fisheries Contributions to the Gross Domestic Product: Underestimating Small-scale Fisheries in the Pacific (2006, methodology): “In order to assess what fraction of the value contributed to GDP, i.e., to account for intermediate costs of fishing (e.g., fuel, gear, maintenance), we applied a farm-gate pricing method (Anonymous 1980; Fafchamps and Vargas Hill 2005 ).”
• Mainstreaming Gender Sensitivity in Cash Crop Market Supply Chains (2014, methodology): “For a given crop and market, Fafchamps and Hill (2005), Chowdhury (2002) and Roberts and Key (2005) show that both the market price and transaction costs a farmer faces will vary with the way in which farmers choose to make a sale: whether the farmer sells at the farmgate or travels to an output mar”
• Rural market imperfections and the role of institutions in collective action to improve markets for the poor (2008, result): “This can be attributed to increasing transportation and transaction costs for the small quantities marketed as distances increase, which is consistent with the findings by Fafchamps and Hill (2005).”
• Are middlemen facilitators or barriers to improve smallholders' welfare in rural economies? Empirical evidence from Ethiopia (2016, background): “Farmers with a large number of livestock units are more likely to use middlemen because of the high opportunity cost of labor in searching for a buyer (Fafchamps and Hill, 2005).”
• Farm production diversity and dietary quality: linkages and measurement issues (2018, background): “The first aspect relates to the fact that markets can be quite different and often do not function well in rural areas of developing countries (Geertz 1978; Fafchamps and Hill 2005).”
• Quality control in nonstaple food markets: evidence from India (2008, background): “The price paid also depends on the place at which the crop was sold, a point studied in detail for Uganda by Fafchamps and Hill (2005).”
• Farmer Bargaining Power and Market Information Services (2015, neutral): “Previous studies have examined how farmers decide whether or not to participate in the market (Goetz, 1992; Key, Sadoulet, and Janvry, 2000; Bellemare and Barrett, 2006), as well as how they choose between trader pick-up and market delivery when selling their products (Fafchamps and Hill, 2005).”
• Linking Smallholders to Markets: Determinants and Impacts of Farmer Collective Action in Kenya (2012, background): “In a similar context, Fafchamps and Hill (2005) found that output quantity sold and proximity to the collection center positively influences the likelihood of traveling to a market.”
