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...

The cassava monitoring survey in Nigeria: final report
Several alternative options have been used for varietal identification. However most of the traditional methods have inherent uncertainty levels and estimates often have wide confidence intervals. In an attempt to circumvent traditional survey-based measurement errors in varietal identification, ...

A manual for large-scale sample collection, preservation, tracking, DNA extraction, and variety identification analysis
The Cassava Monitoring Survey (CMS) project was funded by the CGIAR-RTB
Program and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The main goal was to carry out a
study on cassava adoption and diffusion patterns in Nigeria. This includes explaining
why farmers are adopting certain varieties and describing...
