Amhara region of Ethiopia. The results suggest a positive and significant effect of certification on plot-level productivity …This paper analyses the impact of a low cost and restricted rights land certification program on the productivity of …, particularly on plots rented out to other operators. In addition, the results show that certification has different impacts on male …

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 …

actually lead to welfare losses. The welfare effects are affected by the size of transaction costs, relative farm productivity …

Productivity and efficiency are key performance indicators of improved seeds. Efficiency differences explain part of … the variation in productivity. Improved seeds may affect efficiency because farmers often do not apply inputs at optimum …. Improved seeds therefore not only directly affect productivity but also indirectly through efficiency. If productivity and …

In order to obtain meaningful productivity measures, we impose monotonicity in input …−ceteris paribus−a statistically and economically significantly higher productivity than factory-operated plots, which can be explained …
