• The benefits of rural roads: enhancing income opportunities for the rural poor (2002, background): “Furthering that kind of argument, Blocka and Webb (2001) , find that higher road density promotes specialization, enabling farmers to develop a more intensive agriculture based on modern inputs.”
• Patterns of income diversification in rural Nigeria: determinants and impacts. (2009, background): “For instance, SCHWARZE and ZELLER (2005) showed that rural income diversification is higher among poorer than richer households in Indonesia, while ABDULAI and CROLEREES (2001) and BLOCK and WEBB (2001) showed that the opposite holds true in Mali and Ethiopia, respectively.”
• Non-farm income, household welfare, and sustainable land management in a less-favoured area in the Ethiopian highlands (2004, background): “Block and Webb (2001) found that wealthier Ethiopian households tended to have more diversified incomes and that those with initially more diversified incomes also had a greater increase in both income and calorie intake.”
• Income Diversification in Zimbabwe: Welfare Implications from Urban and Rural Areas (2006, positive): “Attempts to quantify income diversification, so far mostly available for rural areas, have focused mainly on estimation of non-farm income share in the total household income (e.g. Block and Webb 2001; Barrett and Webb 2001; Lanjouw et al. 2001).”
• Does the Nonfarm Economy Offer Pathways for Upward Mobility? Evidence from a Panel Data Study in Ethiopia (2012, background): “Another study is Block and Webb’s paper on the dynamics of livelihood diversification in Ethiopia (Block and Webb, 2001).”
• Determinant factors of livelihood diversification: Evidence from Ethiopia (2017, background): “On the other hand, Barrett, Bezuneh et al. (2001), and Block and Webb (2001) argued that aged household heads have a larger family size and are likely to have extra and unemployed labour, helps them to allocate outside the agricultural sector.”
• Rural livelihood diversification and household well-being: Insights from Humla, Nepal (2016, background): “In addition, there is substantial evidence for the role of diversification in building household capacities to stabilize income and food consumption over time (Reardon et al., 1992; Block and Webb, 2001).”
• Impact of off-farm income on food security and nutrition in Nigeria (2010, background): “In the available literature, considerable attention has been given to the poverty implications of off-farm income in developing countries (e.g., Block and Webb, 2001; de Janvry and Sadoulet, 2001; Lanjouw et al., 2001).”
• An assessment of the extent and causes of food insecurity in northern Ghana using a livelihood vulnerability framework (2006, background): “Non-farm income is said to be a growing source of livelihood for most peasants in the developing world (Barrett, Reardon, & Webb, 2001; Block & Webb, 2001; Bryceson, 1997; Ellis, 1998; Meagher & Mustapha, 1997).”
• Shocks, Consumption and Income Diversification in Rural Ethiopia (2012, background): “Block and Webb (2001) examine qualitative evidence around household risk perceptions in Ethiopia (ERHS) and find that lack of non-farm income is perceived as a risk factor by 23 per cent of the sample.”
• Determinants of farm diversification in integrated crop–livestock farming systems in Ghana (2017, positive): “This has been an evident rationale in different diversification studies (Abdulai and CroleRees, 2001; Barrett et al., 2001; Block and Webb, 2001; Smith et al., 2001; Niehof, 2004; Seo, 2010).”
