Heterogeneous preferences for marine amenities: A choice experiment applied to water quality

Improving Welfare through Climate-friendly Agriculture: The Case of the System of Rice Intensification
Alem, Yonas; Eggert, Håkan; Ruhinduka, Remidius (2015-10)We use rich survey data to investigate the impact of a climate-friendly rice farming method known as the system of rice intensification (SRI) on the welfare of rain-dependent small-holder farmers in Tanzania. SRI reduces ... -
