Reforestation, livelihoods and income equality: Lessons learned from China's Conversion of Cropland to Forest Program por Moioli, C., Shrestha, A., Roeser, D., Wang, G., Sunderland, T.C.H., Zerriffi, H.

“…Moreover, data showed that the main driver of inequality was households' income deriving from remittances, both before and after the Program implementation (with concentration coefficient equal to 1.1 and 1.0, respectively) but its effect decreased over time suggesting an increase in out-migration opportunities for lower-income households. Finally, we found that the level of participation in the Program holds a quite strong explanatory power for both on-farm and off-farm income (explaining 19% and 18% of their respective variability).…”

Plant different, eat different? Insights from participatory agricultural research por Azzarri, Carlo, Haile, Beliyou, Letta, Marco

“…Relative to staple cereals such as maize, legumes are rich in micronutrients, contain better-quality protein, and lead to nitrogen fixation. Given the systematic difference we document between program beneficiaries and randomly sampled non-beneficiary (control) households, we employ causal instrumental variables mediation analysis to account for non-random selection and possible simultaneity between production and consumption decisions. …”

A review of fertilizer policy issues in Nigeria por Liverpool-Tasie, Lenis Saweda, Olaniyan, Babatunde, Salau, Sheu, Sackey, James

Macro policies and the food sector in Bangladesh: a general equilibrium analysis por Fontana, Marzia, Wobst, Peter, Dorosh, Paul A.

“…The simulations of natural gas export revenues suggest that the extent of disincentives to agriculture will depend on whether or not the resulting real exchange rate appreciation is sufficient to lower the import parity price of rice enough so that domestic prices are affected. Finally, all three simulations show that the effects of economic shocks on women’s labor and female headed poor households can differ significantly from the effects on men’s labor and other households.…”
