Evidence from a Panel Data Study in Ethiopia (2012, background): “…studies of determinants of participation indicate that typically the rich have superior access to remunerative nonfarm activities (Corral and Reardon, 2001, de Janvry and Sadoulet, 2001, Woldenhanna and Oskam, 2001, Lanjouw and Shariff, 2002, Kung and Lee, 2001, Dercon and Krishnan, 1996) 1.”

Patterns of income diversification in rural Nigeria: determinants and impacts. (2009, background): “This share of off-farm income fits reasonably well into the available recent literature for Sub-Saharan Africa (DAVIS et al., 2007; WOLDENHANNA and OSKAM, 2001), although the definition of what exactly constitutes off-farm income slightly varies across studies.”
Income diversification of rural households in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia (2005, methodology): “To generate the index, a method developed by ZELLER et al.
