- The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, background): “…productivity is important for enhancing farmer livelihood, reducing rural poverty, and increasing food security (Shiferaw et al. 2014; Zeng et al. 2015; Asfaw et al. 2012; Kassie et al. 2011; Becerril and Abdulai 2010; Alene et al. 2009; Minten and Barrett 2008; Evenson and Gollin 2003).”
- Cropping system diversification, conservation tillage and modern seed adoption in Ethiopia: Impacts on household income, agrochemical use and demand for labor (2013, unknown): “Most previous adoption studies (e.g., Gebremedhin and Scott, 2003; Kassie et al., 2010, 2011) have focused on an analysis of a single SAP using single equation models (e.g., probit or logit).”
- Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption: A Micro-evidence from Rural Tanzania (2012, methodology): “Kassie et al. (2011) using PSM methods found that adoption of improved groundnut varieties in rural Uganda increases crop income and reduces poverty.”
- Impact of metal silos on households’ maize storage, storage losses and food security: An application of a propensity score matching (2013, background): “Farmers only adopt technologies if the expected utility of adoption (Ua) is greater than non-adoption (Un), i.e. Ua Un > 0 (Kassie et al., 2011).”
- Assessing the Impact of Crop Diversification on Farm Poverty in India (2015, methodology): “Our PSM estimation is similar to Kassie, Shiferaw, and Geoffrey (2011) who examined impacts of adoption of improved groundnut varieties on crop income and poverty in Uganda.”
- Adoption of improved wheat varieties and impacts on household food security in Ethiopia (2014, background): “A recent study on the impact of improved groundnut varieties in rural Uganda found that adoption can significantly increase crop income and reduce poverty (Kassie et al., 2011).”
- Impact of improved maize varieties on food security in Eastern Zambia: A doubly robust analysis (2018, unknown): “The covariates used in the estimation of the probability of adoption are based on theory and studies on adoption of improved or modern agricultural technologies (Alene et al., 2000; Feder et al., 1985; Isham, 2002; Kassie et al., 2011).”
- Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Rice Varieties among Rural Farm Households in Central Nepal (2015, result): “This result is consistent with Mendola (2007), Kassie et al (2011), and Mariano et al (2012).”
- Are middlemen facilitators or barriers to improve smallholders' welfare in rural economies? Empirical evidence from Ethiopia (2016, background): “Likewise, membership in a cooperative can provide better access to inputs (Kassie et al., 2011); thus, we expect members of a cooperative to make less use of middlemen.”
- Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare: Evidence from Tanzania and Ethiopia (2012, background): “Unlike other studies (e.g. Mendola, 2007; Kassie et al., 2011), who used per capita income to examine the impact of HYV rice and groundnut on income and poverty status, we rely here on per AEU consumption expenditure as a measure of household welfare which is more reliable welfare indicator and less”
- Improving market access and agricultural productivity growth in Africa: what role for producer organizations and collective action institutions? (2011, background): “Kaganzi et al. 2009 document the success of a farmer organization in south-western Uganda in supplying highervalue potatoes to a fast-food outlet in Kampala.”
