A Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development (2010, background): “Tackling this question with a dynamic general equilibrium analysis, Carter and Zimmerman (2000) find that, indeed, time can erase the impact of initial land ownership inequality on economic performance, although the transition is slow and costly.”
Land Sales and Rental Markets in Transition: Evidence from Rural Vietnam (2003, unknown): “Even under favourable circumstances, reliance on land sales markets to overcome inequalities in asset ownership that are characteristic of many agrarian economies and to reduce the significant efficiency losses associated with these will be a long and arduous process (Carter and Zimmerman, 2000).”
Contractual Structure and Wealth Accumulation (2002, background): “In a dynamic setting, however, such credit constraints can conceivably be overcome via saving, as stressed by Carter and Zimmerman (2000) in the context of a numerical model calibrated to Nicaraguan data.”
Risk and Household Grain Management in Developing Countries (2006, unknown): “2 Other papers look at risk and the holding of productive assets such as bullocks (Rosenzweig and Wolpin, 1993), tubewells (Fafchamps and Pender, 1997), and land (Carter and Zimmerman, 2000; Zimmerman and Carter, 2003).”
Rural poverty dynamics: development policy implications (2003, background): “Asset accumulation failures are the predictable result (Dercon 1998, Carter and Zimmerman 2000, Gunning et al. 2000, Carter and May 2001, Mude et al. 2003).”
Addressing Human Vulnerability to Climate Change: Toward a 'No Regrets' Approach (2009, unknown): “This can give rise to asset-based poverty traps (Carter and Zimmerman, 2000; Barrett and McPeak, 2004).”
Determinants and Impacts of Rural Land Market Activity: Evidence from Nicaragua (2003, background): “…that it may be a middle stratum of farmers who are, without support from government, most able to exercise effective demand in land markets (Carter & Zimmerman, 2000) and that more specific measures to improve the func- tioning of other markets will be required if small farmers are to take…”
Land Reforms, Poverty Reduction, and Economic Growth: Evidence from India (2008, unknown): “As a result, government interventions that aim to provide the most productive producers with land access can have significant social and economic benefits (Chau 1998, Carter and Zimmerman 2000).”
