We provide a new approach for assessing the cost of marginal ecosystem changes and theeffectiveness of agri-environmental schemes. The approach is based on a theoretical andempirical analysis of the bio-economic production interactions between marketed outputs andnon-marketed ecosystem services...

When different technologies are present in an industry, assuming a homogeneous technologywill lead to misleading implications about technical change and inefficient policyrecommendations. In this paper a latent class modelling approach and flexible estimation ofthe production structure is used...

Sustainable intensification of Ghana's smallholder farming is critical to mitigate rural poverty. Innovations for sustainable intensification include agro-ecological practices, which build up soil fertility, and mulching, which conserves soil moisture. To stimulate the adoption of these...

This contribution is based on the notion that different technologies are present in an industry. These different technologies result in differential “drivers” of economic performance depending on the kind of technology used by the individual firm. In a first step different technologies are...
