We decompose the impact of trade reform on technology adoption and land use to study how aggregate changes were driven by reallocation versus within-farm adaptation. Using detailed census data covering over 30,000 farms in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada we find a range of new...

This paper shows that using yields may not be informative of the relationship between farm size and productivity in the … context of small-scale farming. This occurs because, in addition to productivity, yields pick up size-dependent market … distortions and decreasing returns to scale. As a result, a positive relationship between farm productivity and land size may turn …
