Total Factor Productivity Growth in Agriculture: A Malmquist Index Analysis of 93 Countries, 1980-2000 * (2003, background): “We find the general trends in these shares over time and differences across countries appear to support the discussion in Ruttan (2002) where various constraints to productivity growth in world agriculture are identified.”

Sparing land for nature: exploring the potential impact of changes in agricultural yield on the area needed for crop production (2005, background): “…population of 6.4 billion forecast to increase to 7.4–10.6 billion by 2050 (United Nations Population Division, 2003), and with overall food demand expected to rise twoto threefold over the same interval (Bongaarts, 1996; Ruttan, 2002; Tilman et al., 2002), how should conservationists respond?”
Mechanization in Ghana: Emerging demand, and the search for alternative supply models (2014, methodology): “Beginning in the early 1970s, Hayami and Ruttan (1970, 1985) and Binswanger and Ruttan (1978) formulated a model of induced technical change in which the development and application of new technology is endogenous to the economic system (Ruttan, 2002).”
Crop yield gaps: their importance, magnitudes, and causes. (2009, background): “Variations in land and labor productivity across both space and time correspond strongly to the relative availability of land and labor, supporting the notion that the development and implementation of technologies that would reduce yield gaps are most likely to be found in the land-scarce areas mor”

(2012, methodology): “…of Management Studies locally developed by the nearby Campina Grande research station of the government controlled Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária, EMBRAPA), a world-class national agricultural research institution (Reid, 2007; Ruttan, 2002).”

The yield gap of global grain production: A spatial analysis (2010, background): “The role of agricultural 11 intensification as key to increasing actual crop yields and food supply has been 12 discussed in several studies (Ruttan, 2002; Tilman et al., 2002; Barbier, 2003; Keys and 13 McConnell, 2005).”
ECOLOGY, CAPITAL, AND THE NATURE OF OUR TIMES: ACCUMULATION & CRISIS IN THE CAPITALIST WORLD-ECOLOGY (2011, background): “After three decades of seemingly breakneck technological innovation, there remains little prospect of a revival of labor productivity growth compared to the first part of the long 20 th century – in agriculture and the wider economy (Ruttan 2002; Gordon 2010).”
Explaining agricultural productivity growth: an international perspective (2010, background): “(machinery and fertilisers) and human capital (general and technical education) as sources of variation among countries ( Ruttan 2002 ).”
