Endogenous Participation in Agricultural Support Programs and Ad ValoremEquivalent Modelling

Whalley, John - 1988

This paper argues that a price wedge treatment of agricultural supports can seriously misrepresent their welfare and quantity effects. We make our point by focusing on pre-1985 US wheat programs, but features of programs in many other countries lead to comparable problems with the ad valorem...

Subsidies and the Persistence of Technology Adoption : Field Experimental Evidence from Mozambique

Carter, Michael R. - 2014

Consistent with learning models of the adoption decision, we find positive treatment effects on farmers' estimated returns to the input package. We also document positive cross-household treatment spillovers: one's own fertilizer use rises in the number of social network members receiving...
