Does a cassava research-for-development program have impact at the farm level? Evidence from the Democratic Republic of Congo by Rusike, Joseph, Mahungu, N.M., Lukombo, S., Kendenga, Toussaint, Bidiaka, S., Alene, A., Lema, A., Manyong, Victor M.

“…This paper evaluates the impact of a cassava research-for-development program on farm level outcomes.The program was implemented in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2001 to 2009. We apply pro-pensity score matching, Rosenbaum bounds on treatment effects, Altonji et al. method of selection onobservables and unobservables and endogenous switching regression to farm survey data collected dur-ing the 2009 cropping season. …”
