- Raising Crop Productivity in Africa through Intensification (2017, background): “The inputs include improved crop varieties and proper crop management practices, as well as credit and marketing facilities [69].”
- Smallholder productivity and weather shocks: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania (2017, background): “…implications in Tanzania mostly rely on cross-sectional data from small-samples that do not control for the effects of long-term changes in rainfall and temperature patterns (Mbaga Semgalawe and Folmer, 2000; Amare et al., 2012; Kassie et al., 2013; Bullock et al., 2014; Kassie et al., 2015).”
- Climate change adaptation: a study of multiple climate-smart practices in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2019, result): “The result is in agreement with previous work in Ethiopia by Asfaw et al. (2014) and Kassie et al. (2015).”
- Review: Taking stock of Africa’s second-generation agricultural input subsidy programs (2018, result): “Kassie et al. (2015) and Koppmair et al. (2017) obtain similar findings for the effects of Malawi’s FISP on a suite of NRM practices, particularly after controlling for time invariant unobserved heterogeneity in the latter study.”
- Farmers intention to adopt sustainable agriculture hinges on climate awareness: The case of Vietnamese coffee (2021, methodology): “While sustainable agriculture has policy backing at national and regional levels in Europe (Massey et al., 2014) and the U.S. (Mase et al., 2017), such support is lacking in low-income countries e.g., in Eastern and Southern Africa (Kassie et al., 2015).”
- Adoption of climate‐smart agriculture among smallholder farmers: Does farmer entrepreneurship matter? (2021, background): “…age, D. Kangogo et al. Land Use Policy 109 (2021) 105666 gender and the level of education, evidence shows that relatively younger farmers, men and those with higher levels of education have a higher probability of adopting new farming practices (Kassie et al., 2015; Wainaina et al., 2016).”
- Tradeoffs and Complementarities in the Adoption of Improved Seeds, Fertilizer, and Natural Resource Management Technologies in Kenya (2016, background): “For instance, combining conservation agriculture with improved seeds and other external inputs can lead to positive synergistic effects (Kassie et al., 2015).”
- Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies in Tanzania (2020, background): “(iii) Location Technology adoption studies consider agroecological factors at the farm or regional level (Kassie et al., 2015; Wainaina et al., 2016).”
- Production Risks and Food Security under Alternative Technology Choices in Malawi: Application of a Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression (2015, unknown): “For a detailed description of the hypothesized relationships between adoption and the variables used in the analysis, see Kassie et al. (2015).”
- Prospects for Agricultural Sustainable Intensification: A Review of Research (2019, background): “Research on farmers of sustainable intensification practice focuses on the complementarity analysis between multiple or single agricultural technologies that measure sustainable intensification practices in different countries, and the tradeoff quantifying of sustainable intensification practices [2”
