  2. Land lease markets and agricultural efficiency: theory and evidence from Ethiopia por Pender, John L., Fafchamps, Marcel

    Publicado 2001
    “…In this paper, we develop a theoretical model of land leasing that includes transaction costs, risk pooling motives and non-tradable productive inputs, and investigate the empirical implications of land contracts using data collected from four villages in Ethiopia. We show that sharecropping is the dominant contract if transaction costs are negligible, but that a rental contract may arise if transaction costs decrease with increasing the tenant s share of output. …”

  3. Land lease markets and agricultural efficiency: theory and evidence from Ethiopia por Pender, John L., Fafchamps, Marcel

    Publicado 2001
    “…We test the implications of this model compared to those of the “Marshallian” (unenforceable labor effort) and “New School” (costlessly enforceable effort) perspectives using data collected from four villages in Ethiopia. We find that land lease markets operate relatively efficiently in the villages studied, supporting the New School perspective relative to the other two models. …”

The results show that besides directly consuming a significant portion of the households' income, illness has a statistically and economically significant negative impact on the farm and non-farm income of rural households, and the results are robust irrespective of the way illness is measured. …”

  9. Determinants of smallholder commercialization of food crops: Theory and evidence from Ethiopia por Pender, John L., Alemu, Dawit

    Publicado 2007
    “…In this paper, we develop a theoretical farm household model of food crop production and marketing decisions, derive testable hypotheses concerning the determinants of these decisions, and test these hypotheses, using data on cereal production and marketing collected from a nationally representative survey of 7,186 farm households in Ethiopia. Focusing on production and marketing decisions for teff and maize, the two most important crops in Ethiopia, we find that most producers of these crops are either autarkic or net buyers (especially for maize) and that net buyers and autarkic households are poorer in many respects than net sellers. …”
