Agricultural Productivity and Structural Transformation. Evidence (2016, background): “These scholars argued that high agricultural productivity can retard industrial growth as labor reallocates towards the comparative advantage sector [Mokyr (1976), Field (1978) and Wright (1979)] .”
Diverse Approaches to Herbicide-Resistant Weed Management (2016, background): “For smaller farms, off-farm income is increasingly important, and labor availability is a problem that hampers the adoption of more diversity in weed management (Fernandez-Cornejo et al. 2005; Gardner et al. 2009).”
Genetically Engineered Crops in the United States (2014, background): “soybean farmers, most likely because time savings are used to generate income via off-farm employment (Fernandez-Cornejo et al., 2005).”
What Impact Are EU Supermarket Standards Having on Developing Countries' Export of High-Value Horticultural Products? Evidence From Kenya (2010, methodology): “A technology-constrained measure of household income is obtained by substituting Equation (4) into Equation (2) (Huffman, 1991; Fernandez-Cornejo et al., 2005).”
The Economics of Genetically Modified Crops (2009, background): “Fernandez-Cornejo et al. (2005) showed that the saved management time for U.S. soybean farmers translated in part into higher off-farm incomes.”
