Structural adjustment and subsistence industry: Artisanal gold mining in Ghana (2005, background): “However, as Panford (1997: 89) and others explain (see for example Abdulai and Huffman, 2000; Sarris and Shams, 1991; Teal, 2002), as a result of the specific policies implemented to facilitate change, formal sector employment has diminished, as have many of the opportunities for personal…”
Farm Technology and Technical Efficiency: Evidence from Four Regions in China (2009, background): “Empirical applications include those in Abdulai and Huffman (2002) on rice farmers in Northern Ghana, Bravo-Ureta and Evenson (1994) on peasant farmers in eastern Paraguay, Chen and Huffman (2006) using a county-level dataset of China, and Xu and Jeffrey (1998) on a cross-section of Chinese farm hou”
Technical Efficiency of Rice Farmers in Northern Ghana (2008, unknown): “The low technical efficiency measures, however, contradicts Abdulai and Huffman (2000) who found the mean level of profit efficiency to be relatively high for farmers drawn from four districts in Northern Region of Ghana. The contradiction can be attributed to differences in methodologies. Whereas A”
Human capital: Education and agriculture (2001, background): “Abdulai and Huffman (1999) showed that schooling of Ghana rice farmers reduces significantly profit inefficiency, which implies enhanced technical and allocation or economic efficiency.”
Commodity market reform in Africa : some recent experience (2003, background): “Abdulai and Huffman (2000) rely on survey data from rice-producing households in Ghana to test the notion that changes in relative prices could lead to efficiency gains at the household level.”
Efficiency and technology gap in China's agriculture: A regional meta-frontier analysis (2008, background): “The role of technical and allocative efficiency was investigated in Chen and Huffman (2006), Mao and Koo (1997), Wang, Cramer, and Wailes (1996), and many others (see, also, a discussion in Abdulai and Huffman 2000). Many of the aforementioned studies have used micro-level data sets. Estimates deriv”
Traditional agriculture in transition: examining the impacts of agricultural modernization on smallholder farming in Ghana under the new Green Revolution (2018, background): “Other scholars such as Abdulai and Huffman (2000) and Kansanga (2017) also recount improvement in technological use and efficiency in the rice industry in northern Ghana as one of the gains from the implementation of SAPs.”
Technical efficiency of rice production at the Tono Irrigation scheme in northern Ghana. (2013, result): “The result for the present study is consistent with the findings by [29, 30, 21].”
