Rising Food Prices in Sub-Saharan Africa: Poverty Impact and Policy Responses (2008, background): “Beyond the immediate impact of higher food prices on the cost of the food purchased by households, there is evidence that higher overall inflation hurts the poor the most (Easterly and Fischer 2001; Ravallion and Datt 2002).”
Pro-growth, pro-poor : is there a tradeoff? (2004, background): “Using 20 household surveys for India’s 15 major states, Datt and Ravallion (2002) also conclude that poor basic education is an impediment to the ability of the poor to participate in opportunities for economic growth.”
In Search of the Holy Grail: How to Achieve Pro-Poor Growth? (2003, background): “Among academic researchers, there have been a number of proposals to define pro poor growth (e.g. Ravallion and Datt, 2002; Ravallian and Chen, 2003; Hanmer and Booth, 2001; White and Anderson, 2001; Kakwani and Pernia, 2000; McCulloch and Baulch, 1999).”

Smallholder Income and Land Distribution in Africa: Implications for Poverty Reduction Strategies (2003, neutral): “For example, the initial percentage of landless households in India significantly affected the elasticity of poverty to non-farm output (Ravallion and Datt 2002).”
The (Evolving) Role of Agriculture in Poverty Reduction: An Empirical Perspective (2011, background): “In a follow-up study, Ravallion and Datt (2002) also report that the poverty-reducing effects from non-agricultural growth were larger in states with higher initial farm productivity.”

Non-Farm Activity, Household Expenditure, and Poverty Reduction in Rural Vietnam: 2002–2008 (2014, background): “For example, in India, non-farm employment growth was less effective in alleviating poverty in states with initially lower literacy, lower farm productivity, and greater landlessness (Micevska & Rahut, 2008; Ravallion & Datt, 2002).”
Isolation and agricultural productivity (2008, background): “…Introduction: Geography matters enormously for economic activities and welfare as shown by evidence from cross-country studies (Bloom and Sachs, 1998; Landes, 1998; Gallup et al., 1999) as well as within-country studies (Hentschel et al., 2000; Jalan and Ravallion, 2002; Ravallion and Datt, 2002).”
