Crop yield growth is a key parameter in determining the future of agriculture—whether it can simultaneously meet our traditional demands and new demand derived from renewable energy production and climate change mitigation. At the same time, there is concern that crop yield growth has slowed...

This paper estimates the world demand for coffee using a dataset for 88 countries from 1990 to 2005, and dynamic panel data estimators. Results suggest that the income elasticity of demand is non constant and varies according to a country's income level. Higher income countries have lower income...

We estimate an institutional production function to capture incentive induced growth in total factor productivity (TFP) of rice production in Bangladesh. The incentive component of TFP assists in explaining how farmers responded to the changes in incentives which were introduced during the major...

This study estimates the effects of agricultural credit, especially a fertilizer loan, by utilizing original survey data collected before and after the policy change. We apply the fixed-effects method to account for the endogeneity that occurs when the farmer-specific unobserved heterogeneity...
