Sustainable agricultural intensification requires the use of multiple agricultural technologies in an integrated manner to enhance productivity while conserving the natural resource base. This study analyses the adoption and impacts of sustainable intensification practices (SIPs) using a dataset ...

Adoption and impacts of sustainable intensification practices in Ghana
We use DNA‐fingerprinting to estimate the poverty reduction effect of adoption of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria. We estimate the counterfactual household income distribution of cassava producers by combining farm‐level treatment effects with a market‐level model. Our results suggest that ...

Poverty reduction effects of agricultural technology adoption: the case of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria
This article examines the impact that misreporting adoption status has on the identification and estimation of causal effects on productivity. In particular, by comparing measurement error-ridden self-reported adoption data with measurement-error-free DNA-fingerprinted adoption data, we investiga...

Estimating the productivity impacts of technology adoption in the presence of misclassification
This paper examines the impacts of access to extension services and cooperative membership on technology adoption, asset ownership and poverty using household-level data from rural Nigeria. Using different matching techniques and endogenous switching regression approach, we find that both extensi...

Impacts of extension access and cooperative membership on technology adoption and household welfare
Impact studies assuming exogenous technology adoption are bound to overstate or understate the true impact of improved agricultural technologies, especially in situations where agricultural technologies are targeted to, or adopted by, a certain group of farmers. This paper examined the impact of ...
