The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Non-farm income, household welfare, and sustainable land management in a less-favoured area in the Ethiopian highlands (2004, background): “The unequal distribution of nonfarm income indicates, however, that there are substantial entry barriers and steep investment requirements to participation in non-farm activities capable of lifting them out of poverty (Barrett et al., 2001).”
Risk coping strategies in tropical forests: floods, illnesses, and resource extraction (2004, result): “Although we did not ask households to rank these shocks in terms of severity, this subjective measure is comparable with the subjective risk ranking measure used by Smith et al. (2001) to examine risk assessment among East African pastoralists.”
Poverty Traps and Safety Nets (2006, background): “covariate (McPeak and Barrett 2001, Smith et al. 2001, Lybbert et al. forthcoming).”
Pastoralism Under Pressure: Tracking System Change in Southern Ethiopia (2004, background): “Other investigators (Smith et al., 2000, 2001; Little et al., 2001) have noted large differences between northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia in terms of general economic development and degree of activity diversification among pastoralists—Kenya is much more advanced in these respects.”
