Migration as an Adaptation Strategy to Weather Variability: An Instrumental Variables Probit Analysis
(2016-06)
There is solid scientific evidence predicting that a large part of the developing world will suffer a greater incidence of extreme weather events, which may increase the incidence of displacement migration. We draw on the ...
Sustainable Agricultural Practices and Agricultural Productivity in Ethiopia: Does Agroecology Matter?
(2009-11-30)
Sustainable agricultural practices, in as far as they rely on renewable local or farm resources, present
desirable options for enhancing agricultural productivity for resource-constrained farmers in developing
countries. ...
The Role of Production Risk in Sustainable Land-Management Technology Adoption in the Ethiopian Highlands
(2009-11-30)
This paper provides empirical evidence of production risk impact on sustainable land- management
technology adoption, using two years of cross-sectional plot-level data collected in the Ethiopian highlands. We
used a ...
Adoption of Organic Farming Technologies: Evidence from Semi-Arid Regions of Ethiopia
(2008-12-16)
In the wake of resource constraints faced by farmers in developing countries in using external farm inputs, sustainable agricultural production practices that rely on local or farm renewable resources present desirable ...
The Role of Soil Conservation on Mean Crop Yield and Variance of Yield - Evidence from the Ethiopian Highlands
(2009-11-30)
Land degradation has been one of the major areas of concern in Ethiopia. Governments and
development agencies have invested substantial resources to promote land management technologies
and reduce land degradation. ...
Cost of Power Outages for Manufacturing Firms in Ethiopia: A Stated Preference Study
(2018-05)
Having a reliable supply of electricity is essential for the operation of any firm. In most developing countries, however, electricity supply is highly unreliable. In this study, we estimate the cost of power outages for ...
The Persistence of Subjective Poverty in Urban Ethiopia

Using panel data spanning 15 years, this paper investigates the persistence and correlates of subjective and consumption poverty in urban Ethiopia. Despite the decline in consumption poverty in recent years, which has been ...
Framing and Minimum Levels in Public Good Provision
(2016-04)
Using a laboratory experiment in the field, we examine how the choice architecture of framing a social dilemma – give to or take from a public good – interacts with a policy intervention that enforces a minimum contribution ...
Organic Farming Technologies and Agricultural Productivity: The case of Semi-Arid Ethiopia
(2008-12-16)
Organic farming practices, in as far as they rely on local or farm renewable resources, present desirable options for enhancing agricultural productivity for resource-constrained farmers in developing countries. In this ...
Soil Conservation and Small-Scale Food Production in Highland Ethiopia A Stochastic Metafrontier Approach
(2009-11-30)
This study adopts the stochastic metafrontier approach to investigate the role of soil conservation
in small-scale highland agriculture in Ethiopia. Plot-level stochastic frontiers and metafrontier
technology-gap ratios ...
