Integrating soil science into agricultural production frontiers [PDF]
Environment and Development Economics, 2013 AbstractThis paper integrates soil science variables into an economic analysis of agricultural output among small-scale farmers in Kenya's highlands. The integration is valuable because farmers’ choice of inputs depends on both the status of the soil and socioeconomic conditions.
