Do organic inputs in African subsistence agriculture raise productivity? : evidence from plot data of Malawi household surveys
Zant, Wouter - 2014
We exploit plot data from the agricultural module of the third Malawi Integrated Household Survey (IHS-3) to investigate how organic cultivation techniques contribute to productivity of non-subsidized local maize and what to expect from using organic inputs on a larger scale. We approximate...

Weather index insurance, agricultural input use, and crop productivity in Kenya
Sibiko, Kenneth W.; Qaim, Matin - 2017
Weather risk is a serious issue in the African small farm sector, which will further aggravate due to climate change. Farmers typically react by using low amounts of agricultural inputs. Low input use can help to minimize financial loss in bad years, but is also associated with low average yield...

The Role of Climate Change Adaptation in Enhancing Agricultural Yields : Evidence from Non-Randomized Experiments in Africa
Awe, Jean - 2023
I examine the effects of climate change adaptation on agricultural productivity using a unique dataset from a non-randomized experiment involving 1,811 adapted and 3,280 non-adapted farm households across four African countries. By employing instrumental variables and simultaneous equations...
