Productivity, credit, risk, and the demand for weather index insurance in smallholder agriculture in Ethiopia (2013, background): “, 2011), risk preferences, credit constraints (Croppenstedt et al., 2003), irregular rainfall (Alem et al.”
Soil quality and fertilizer use rates among smallholder farmers in western Kenya (2009, background): “For example, several studies have emphasized farmers’ lack of access to credit and insurance as a limiting factor to fertilizer uptake (Croppenstedt et al., 2003; Duflo et al., 2005; Duong and Izumida, 2002; Gregory and Bumb, 2006; Jayne et al., 2003; Kherallah et al., 2002; Omamo et al., 2001;…”
Determinants of farmers’ choice of adaptation methods to climate change in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2009, background): “For instance, Croppenstedt et al., 2003 argue that households with a larger pool of labor are more likely to adopt agricultural technology and use it more intensively because they have fewer labor shortages at peak times.”
The dynamics of soil degradation and incentives for optimal management in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia (2007, background): “However, adoption of both soil conservation and soil fertility enhancing practices such as commercial fertilizers have remained low (Yirga et al., 1996; Gebre Michael, 1999; Shiferaw and Holden, 1998; Gebremedhin and Swinton, 2003; Croppenstedt et al., 2003).”
The Economics of Sustainable Land Management Practices in the Ethiopian Highlands (2010, unknown): “…availability of water, soil types and local socioeconomic and agro-ecological variations, for example, between low and high agricultural potential areas4 (Hundie et al., 2000; Croppenstedt et al., 2003; Kassa, 2003; Nyssen et al., 2004; Amsalu, 2006; Kassie et al., 2008; Kebede and Yamoah, 2009).”
Factors influencing the adaptation of farmers in response to climate change: a review (2019, background): “Large household size allows the accomplishment of different agricultural tasks during peak seasons (Croppenstedt et al., 2003) without seeking external labour hire, which increases production costs.”
Social capital, risk preference and adoption of improved farm land management practices in Ethiopia (2015, background): “, 2008; Conley and Udry, 2010; Foster and Rosenzweig, 1995; Munshi, 2004; Rosenzweig, 2010; Young, 2009), supply-side constraints such as limited availability of credit (Coady, 1995; Croppenstedt et al., 2003; Shiferaw et al., 2008; Suri, 2011), differences in agroecological and climatic conditions ”
Technology adoption under seed access constraints and the economic impacts of improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania (2008, methodology): “The Tobit specification has no mechanism to distinguish such households with a constrained positive desired demand from those with unconstrained positive demand and considers a zero amount of land under improved technology as a rational decision by the farmer not to plant any improved variety, hence”
