How does population density influence agricultural intensification and productivity? Evidence from Malawi
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used nationally representative household-level panel data from Malawi to estimate how rural population density impacts agricultural intensification and household well-being and found that areas of higher population density are associated with smaller farm sizes, lower real agricultural wage rates, and higher real maize prices.

Mechanization in Ghana: Emerging demand, and the search for alternative supply models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adopt a supply chain approach to analyze two types of mechanization practices in Ghana, i.e., a recent state-led mechanization program and the private sector-led service hiring market, against an international perspective by drawing on three Asian supply models.

Socio-hydrologic modeling to understand and mediate the competition for water between agriculture development and environmental health : Murrumbidgee River Basin, Australia
T.H.M. Van Emmerik,Zili Li,Murugesu Sivapalan,Saket Pande,Jaya Kandasamy,Hubert H. G. Savenije,Amit Chanan,Saravanamuthu Vigneswaran +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling study centered on the Murrumbidgee River basin (MRB), which has witnessed a unique system dynamics over the last 100 years as a result of interactions between patterns of water management and climate driven hydrological variability.

Immigration Restrictions as Active Labor Market Policy: Evidence from the Mexican Bracero Exclusion.
TL;DR: This study studies a natural policy experiment: the exclusion of almost half a million Mexican 'bracero' farm workers from the United States to improve farm labor market conditions, and model the labor-market effect in the absence of technical change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reforms and agricultural productivity in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics: 1989–2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a conceptual framework for the evolution of productivity and efficiency measures and link this evolution to the issue of factor abundance taking into account specific transition characteristics, and illustrate how productivity varies between countries at various stages of the transition process.
