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 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...

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...
