Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

CTRL-A: an Algorithm for the Calculation of Thresholds for Rainfall-induced Landslides
, 2018 Empirical rainfall thresholds are a tool widely used to predict the possible landslide occurrence in large areas. Review of the literature reveals that most of the thresholds are affected by several uncertainties related to: the rainfall and the ...

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study assesses the effects of the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires (BSB), which primarily occurred in rural regions of Victoria and represent the deadliest bushfire event in Australia's history, on household energy poverty. Using a linear panel event‐study, an entropy‐balanced event‐study, and a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Empirical rainfall thresholds for mudflow events in an arid basin of the Peruvian coast
Frontiers in WaterMudflows, a highly destructive natural phenomenon, frequently occurs in arid regions due to the activation of basins by extreme climate events. In Peru, the Pacific coastal basin and steep regions is particularly vulnerable to these events, which have ...

Event-based rainfall-induced landslide inventories and rainfall thresholds for Malawi
LandslidesLandslide event inventories are one of the most critical datasets to increase knowledge on landslide occurrences. However, they are rarely available in various regions, especially in countries of the Global South. This study aims to generate rainfall-induced landslide event inventories and define the rainfall thresholds responsible for landslide ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.
