Agricultural advisory and financial services; farm level access, outreach and impact in a mixed cropping district of Punjab, Pakistan (2018, background): “Despite a huge investment globally on the provision of agricultural advisory and financial services (Aker, 2011), there is no consensus in the available empirical studies regarding the effectiveness of these services (Aker, 2011; Anderson and Feder, 2007).”
Seeing is Believing? Evidence from an Extension Network Experiment (2014, unknown): “…2012; Thompson, 2010), empirical evidence of the significance of learning through extension programs on agricultural growth is mixed (Bindlish and Evenson, 1997; Purcell and Anderson, 1997; Gautam, 2000; Anderson and Feder, 2007; Benin et al., 2007; Davis et al., 2012; Waddington et al., 2014).”
Modern Rice Technologies and Productivity in the Philippines: Disentangling Technology from Managerial Gaps (2015, background): “…unbiased estimates of the coefficients of the production frontier in rice farming to then measure TE as an indicator of managerial gaps as well as any shifts in the frontiers due to the adoption of improved seed varieties that can be interpreted as technological progress (Anderson and Feder, 2007).”
Impacts of extension access and cooperative membership on technology adoption and household welfare (2017, background): “In particular, extension access facilitates adoption by exposing farmers to new technologies and by educating them about best farming and management practices (Anderson and Feder, 2007; Wossen et al., 2013).”
From Best Practice to Best Fit: A Framework for Designing and Analyzing Pluralistic Agricultural Advisory Services Worldwide (2009, background): “Even though available information on different reform strategies for agricultural advisory services has increased, there is still a remarkable lack of empirical evidence to guide the choice of reform options in a particular country (see Anderson and Feder, 2007).”
Leveling with friends: Social networks and Indian farmers' demand for a technology with heterogeneous benefits (2015, background): “Farmers frequently cite other farmers as their most trusted and reliable source of information regarding new technologies (Anderson and Feder, 2007; Birner et al., 2009).”
Social Learning and Incentives for Experimentation and Communication (2018, background): “More broadly, while large numbers of extension workers are employed in developing countries (Anderson and Feder, 2007), the impact of these services have largely been disappointing: the use of modern varieties of seeds, fertilizer, and other agricultural inputs has remained relatively stagnant and…”
Is farmer-to-farmer extension effective? The impact of training on technology adoption and rice farming productivity in Tanzania (2018, methodology): “One potentially effective method to diffuse these new technologies is agricultural training (Anderson & Feder, 2007; Feder, Just, & Zilberman, 1985; Otsuka & Larson, 2015).”
The Value of Advice: Evidence from Mobile Phone-Based Agricultural Extension (2013, background): “The reliance on extension agents to deliver in-person information is subject to general monitoring problems in a principal-agent framework (Anderson and Feder (2007)).”
