Agricultural Productivity and Economic Growth (2010, background): “Perhaps more common in the literature are studies that seek to trace causal links from agricultural productivity to poverty reduction (for example, Datt and Ravallion, 1996; Thirtle et al., 2001; Irz et al., 2002; Fan et al., 2000).”
Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective. Livestock's many virtues. (2012, background): “Wiggins and Proctor (2001) caution against overly optimistic expectations for rural industrialization, suggesting that “rural areas may have comparative advantage only in primary activities based on immobile natural resources and closely related activities”, and the oft-cited expansion of the RNFE i”
Assessment of the contribution of irrigation to poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods (2004, background): “Areas with well-developed infrastructure and ruralurban links tend to show higher multipliers (Thirtle et al., 2001), but Delgado & Hopkins (1998) cite some equal or higher estimates for isolated African cases, arguing that any exogenous increase in farm incomes will be spent disproportionately on…”
Irrigation and poverty alleviation: review of the empirical evidence (2004, background): “Thirtle et al. (2001) found that for a sample of 40 countries, the elasticity of incidence of poverty to agricultural productivity growth was about 1%, that is, the percentage of those living below the dollar a day poverty line fell by close to 1% for every percentage increase in agricultural…”
A Policy Agenda for Pro-Poor Agricultural Growth (2004, background): “Empirical evidence from the sectoral productivity literature supports the view that agricultural growth promotes poverty reduction (see the review by Thirtle et al., 2001 citing evidence from Hanmer and Nashchold, 2000;; Ravallion and Datt, 1999; Timmer, 1997; Datt and Ravallion, 1996; Stern, 1996;…”
Agroforestry and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (2004, background): “The evidence clearly indicates that in developing countries, agricultural growth nearly always beneﬁts poor people, with greatest gains going to those most in need (Thirtle et al. 2001).”
Factors Affecting Yield of Crops (2020, background): “2% decrease in the numbers of absolute poor households in the world [1].”
