Unpacking the Effects of Conflict on Fertilizer Use and Maize Yields: Empirical Evidence From Nigeria

Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional recommendations emphasize increasing the use of inorganic fertilizer to enhance maize yields in African countries south of the Sahara, but it is not clear how smallholders’ exposure to violent conflicts affect demand, yield responses, and the profitability of fertilizers. Our study tackles this question. We analyze how maize yield

What are the carbon services from cover‐crop adoption worth from farmers' perspective?

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We derive shadow prices of carbon services provided by cover crops relative to non‐cover‐crop agricultural practices, accounting for carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We model the agricultural technology by integrating crop production, carbon sequestration, and GHG emissions.

Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body

Product churn, tastes, and price indices

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Price indices commonly used to measure inflation do not account for the entry and exit of products nor for systemic changes in consumer preferences over time. Recent developments in the theory of price indices show that these issues have significant impacts on the growth of prices that consumers experience.

Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After several decades of offshoring, reshoring is becoming an emergent strategy in many countries and industries. Both governments compel firms to reshore their production to their home countries as firms find, in some cases, that it is more profitable for them to do so.
