Reduce, reuse, redeem: Deposit-refund recycling programs in the presence of alternatives por Berck, Peter, Sears, Molly, Taylor, Rebecca L. C., Trachtman, Carly, Villas-Boas, Sofia B.

“…Additionally, we use counterfactual policy analysis to show that increasing the refund amount increases overall household recycling rates. Infra–marginal households who are on the boundary between taking containers to recycling centers and recycling using curbside pick-up, namely white households and households with higher educational attainment, see the largest changes in consumer surplus generated by increasing refund payments. …”

Impacts of sweeping agricultural marketing reforms in a poor state of India: Evidence from repeal of the APMC act por Kishore, Avinash, Kishore, Prabhat, Roy, Devesh, Saroj, Sunil

“…The DID estimates show that repeal of APMC actually impacted in terms of lower FHP of paddy with a larger negative effect on marginal farmers. FHP of maize, grown mainly for exports to other states and countries and where new entry of buyers took place, was higher possibly because of increased competition among buyers and use of alternate and more direct channels of procurement from farmers that increased marketing efficiency.…”

Ending groundwater overdraft without affecting food security por Perez, Nicostrato, Singh, Vartika, Ringler, Claudia, Xie, Hua, Zhu, Tingju, Sutanudjaja, Edwin H., Villholth, Karen G.

“…In addition, changing preferences of high-income countries towards less-meat-based diets would marginally alleviate pressures on food price. To safeguard the ability of groundwater systems to realize water and food security objectives amidst climate challenges, comprehensive measures encompassing improved water management practices, advancements in seed technologies and appropriate institutions will be needed.…”

Can differences in individual learning explain patterns of technology adoption? Evidence on heterogeneous learning patterns and hybrid rice adoption in Bihar, India por Gars, Jared, Ward, Patrick S.

“…Linking these learning heuristics with observed use of rice hybrids, we demonstrate that pure Bayesian learning is well suited for the tinkering and marginal adjustments that would be required to learn about a technology like hybrid rice, but is also more cognitively taxing, requiring a longer memory and more complex updating processes. …”

Determinants of agricultural machinery adoption intensities in Ghana por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Liu, Yanyan

“…We test the hypotheses that high-yielding technologies, which potentially raise returns to more intensive farm power use, are im-portant drivers of adoptions of agricultural mechanization among smallholders at both extensive and intensive margins. We do so using the three rounds of repeated cross-sectional, nationally rep-resentative data (Ghana Living Standard Surveys (GLSS) 2006, 2013, 2017), as well as unique tractor-use data in Ghana collected by IFPRI and Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (IFPRI-SARI data), and multi-dimensional indicators of agroclimatic similarity with plant-breeding locations.…”

Land access, land rental markets and rural poverty dynamics in northern Ethiopian highlands: Panel data evidence using survival models por Ghebru, Hosaena, Holden, Stein

“…Though transacting farmers may engage themselves in win–win rental arrangements by the time they join the tenancy market, results indicate that gains are unequal as those tenants who enter the markets from low economic leverage (were poor) are liable to face lower margin of net gains, which may limit their ability to move out of poverty.…”

Conflict, migration, and food security: The role of agriculture and rural development por da Silva, José Graziano, Fan, Shenggen

“…Investments in agricultural and rural development play an important role in both preventing and recovering from conflicts. Ensuring that marginalized populations—including women, smallholder farmers, and minority groups—are equitably included in such investments, as well as in the distribution of natural resources, is key in reducing the tensions that often lead to conflict and forced migration. • Let migrant populations work. …”

How best to target agricultural subsidies? The case for an indicator-based targeting system in Malawi por Houssou, Nazaire, Droppelmann, Klaus

“…One interpretation of these criteria is that the pro-gram intends to target the “productive poor”, and since poverty is widespread in Malawi, some would argue that the focus of the targeting mechanism should be on identifying farmers who would make best use of subsidized fertilizer (e.g., as measured by their marginal productivity per unit of fertilizer applied). …”
