• Market participation of smallholder maize farmers in the upper west region of Ghana (2014, methodology): “Determinants of market participation and intensity of participation of smallholder maize households The user written command, ‘craggit’ by Burke (2009) in Stata was used for the estimation of the magnitude and effects of factors that determine the probability and intensity of smallholder maize…”
• Limits to Green Revolution in rice in Africa: The case of Ghana (2017, methodology): “To analyze the factors associated with fertilizer use and intensity or application rate, we fitted Cragg’s double-hurdle model to gain efficiency due to the corner solution associated with fertilizer use intensity (Burke 2009, 2012).”
• Tobit or not Tobit? (2012, neutral): “The unconditional marginal effects were computed as suggested in Burke [7]: 15 ∂E ( e hd | x ) 12 Most of the older papers, and a few of the more-recent papers, report Tobit coefficients (Bryant and Zick [6], Zick and Allen [35], Bianchi [3], and Hofferth and Sandberg [20]).”
• Determinants of Market Participation among Small-Scale Pineapple Farmers in Kericho County, Kenya (2014, methodology): “According to Burke (2009), the double hurdle model is useful because it allows a subset of the data to pile-up at some value without causing a bias in estimating the determinants of the continuous dependent variable in the second stage, hence you can obtain all the data in the remaining sample for t”
• Understanding the Complexities Surrounding Gender Differences in Agricultural Productivity in Nigeria and Uganda (2011, methodology): “based on bootstrapped standard errors (Burke 2009).”
• Smallholder Farmers and Collective Action: What Determines the Intensity of Participation? (2014, methodology): “The CAME and UAME are calculated according to Burke (2009). For the quantity regression in part (2), the variables banana area and yield are transformed into natural logs to avoid misspecification, since quantity sold depends on banana area and yield in a multiplicative way.”
