Subsidies and the Persistence of Technology Adoption : Field Experimental Evidence from Mozambique
Carter, Michael - 2015
We report the results of a randomized experiment testing impacts of subsidies for modern agricultural inputs in rural Mozambique. One-time provision of a voucher for fertilizer and improved seeds leads to substantial increases in fertilizer use, which persist through two subsequent agricultural...
