Africa's changing farm size distribution patterns: the rise of medium-scale farms (2016, background): “Empirical work by Deininger and Squire (1998) and Vollrath (2007) have demonstrated that relatively egalitarian land distribution patterns have tended to generate more broadly based growth -- and consequently higher rates of economic growth -- than in cases where land distribution was highly…”
Land Reforms, Poverty Reduction, and Economic Growth: Evidence from India (2008, unknown): “Evidence from cross-sectional regressions pointing towards a negative relationship between initial levels of inequality and subsequent growth in developing countries (Barro 2000, Vollrath 2007) is increasingly substantiated at the micro-level.”
Revisiting the Farm Size‐Productivity Relationship Based on a Relatively Wide Range of Farm Sizes: Evidence from Kenya (2019, unknown): “Literature from Asia and Latin America has generally reinforced this finding of an inverse relationship (IR) between farm size and productivity (Schultz 1964; Hayami and Otsuka 1993; Binswanger, Deininger, and Feder 1995; Vollrath 2007; Kagin, Taylor, and Y unez-Naude 2015).”
Are There Too Many Farms in the World? Labor Market Transaction Costs, Machine Capacities, and Optimal Farm Size (2017, background): “While most of the literature documenting the inverse relationship in lowincome countries is based on data from India, the Philippines, and Latin America (e.g., Schultz 1964; Hayami and Otsuka 1993; Binswanger, Deininger, and Feder 1995; Vollrath 2007; Hazell 2011; Kagin, Taylor, and YúnezNaude 2015)”
Revisiting the Role of Education for Agricultural Productivity (2013, unknown): “ However, this stands in sharp contrast to recent cross‐country studies applying modern econometric methods (particularly panel estimation techniques including time and country dummies) which either did not include any education variables in the model (e.g. Frisvold and Ingr”
Harvesting Prosperity: Technology and Productivity Growth in Agriculture (2019, background): “Previously, however, Vollrath (2007) came to the opposite conclusion, finding that countries with a more equitable distribution of farmland achieved higher levels of productivity.”
