Assessing Brazil’s Cerrado agricultural miracle (2013, methodology): “Because reliable land rental rates are unavailable, Fuglie’s (2010) method of estimating relative land weights for each land group and census period is followed to generate a temporarycropland-equivalent land series. Those weights are available in Rada and Buccola (2012). Quality-adjusting land is i”
Accounting for growth in global agriculture (2015, background): “Results did not alter the central finding from my previous analyses using this approach (Fuglie, 2008, 2010b, 2012) that there has apparently been a significant acceleration in global agricultural productivity growth since the 1990s.”
Can Technology Deliver on the Yield Challenge to 2050 (2009, methodology): “…past decade, which would still account for a significant share of yield growth.4 Using a measure of agricultural area standardized for land quality (Fuglie, 2008), fertilizer use per irrigated-equivalent hectare is also now higher in developing countries than in industrial countries (Figure 3.2).5…”
Productivity growth and technology capital in the global agricultural economy. (2012, methodology): “Like in my previous work (Fuglie, 2008, 2010b), I adjust agricultural land area for the quality differences among rainfed and irrigated cropland and pastures.”
Explaining agricultural productivity growth: an international perspective (2010, background): “…Interest has been driven in part by the recent surge in international food prices, with declining agricultural productivity cited as one of the long-term causes of the crisis (see Fuglie, 2008), and renewed productivity growth considered to be one of the longterm solutions (Diao et al., 2008).”
Rethinking the global food crisis: The role of trade shocks (2011, background): “2 Fuglie (2008) also reported that although he found strong regional variations in”
Rising Global Interest in Farmland: Can It Yield Sustainable and Equitable Benefits? (2011, background): “Most production growth is thus still based largely on land expansion (Fuglie 2008).”
Understanding the agricultural input landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa : recent plot, household, and community-level evidence (2014, unknown): “Using global data to study total factor productivity, Fuglie (2008) finds that irrigated land is twice as productive as rainfed land after controlling for other factors.”
Economic Importance of Agriculture for Poverty Reduction (2010, methodology): “Fuglie (2008) reports findings from a comprehensive study of trends in total factor productivity covering 173 countries from 1961 to 2006.”
The Global Supply and Demand for Agricultural Land in 2050: A Perfect Storm in the Making? AAEA Presidential Address (2010, background): “ 6 While yield growth drives the derived demand for land, total factor productivity (TFP) growth is key for prices; Fuglie (2008) shows that, contrary to yields, TFP growth has not slowed down in recent years.”
