Baseline characterization of production and markets, technologies and preferences, and livelihoods of smallholder farmers and communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Malawi
Ex ante evaluation of agricultural research for development projects has become important in recent years for priority setting, ex post impact assessment and learning about generalizability to other populations and contexts. We apply farm household and random utility modeling to baseline survey ...

Ex-ante evaluation of cassava research for development in Malawi: a farm household and random utility modeling approach
This paper estimates the economic impacts of cassava research and extension in Malawi and Zambia over the period 1990-2008. The data come from sample household surveys, planting material production records, and a series of cassava improvement experiments conducted in the two countries. Past inves...
