An Updated Look at the Recovery of Agricultural Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “Despite evidence of improved performance in the past 10 years, only a few studies have attempted to analyze SSA's agricultural productivity changes and the factors explaining those changes (see for example Block 1995, Lusigi and Thirtle 1997, and Fulginiti et al. 2004).”
The impact of agricultural research on productivity and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “Fulginiti et al. (2004) found that while the estimated rate of productivity change was 0.83% per year over the four decades, the average rate from 1985 to 1999 was a strong 1.90% per year.”
Productivity growth and the effects of R&D in African agriculture (2010, background): “…and many studies often resorted to identifying the correlates of productivity—such as policy reforms (e.g., Fulginiti and Perrin, 1993, 1999; Block, 1994), population pressure (e.g., Frisvold and Ingram, 1995; Lusigi and Thirtle, 1997), and institutions (Fulginiti et al., 2004; Nkamleu, 2004).”
An innovation systems approach to institutional change: Smallholder development in West Africa (2012, background): “…Dorward (2004) and Poulton et al. (2006) on coordination problems; Winter-Nelson and Temu (2005) on transaction costs of coffee production in Tanzania; Fulginiti et al. (2004) on differential legacies of colonial history; Obi (2011) on institutional constraints of smallholders; Ngwenya and…”
Assessing the impact of improved agricultural technologies on household income in rural Mozambique (2011, background): “Agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa is among the lowest in the world (Savadogo et al., 1998; Fulginiti et al., 2004).”
Resources, Policies, and Agricultural Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa (2013, methodology): “Using regression analysis to help explain these differences, Fulginiti, Perrin, and Yu (2004) found a correlation between agricultural TFP growth and institutions, with higher growth performance in former British colonies and countries with higher levels of political rights.”
