TL;DR: There are no systematic differences across crops and activities, but female labor shares tend to be higher in households where women own a larger share of the land and when they are more educated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a nationally-representative analysis of the gender gap in Malawi, and decomposes it, for the first time, at the mean and at selected points of the agricultural productivity distribution into (i) a portion driven by gender differences in levels of observable attributes (the endowment effect), and (ii) a part driven by women differences in returns to the same set of observables (the structure effect).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the relationship between maize yields and scale using alternative data and find that the inverse productivity hypothesis holds up well across a broad platform of data, despite obvious shortcomings with some components.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed decomposition methods to analyze differences in agricultural productivity between male and female land managers in Ethiopia and found that gender differentials are more pronounced at mid-levels of productivity and the share of the gender gap explained by the endowment effect declines as productivity increases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors document the socioeconomic impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic among households, adults and children in low-income countries, and find that student-teacher contact has dropped from a pre-COVID-19 rate of 96% to just 17% among households with school-aged children.
