Land productivity studies
These studies have investigated the following issues
How do land reforms affect land productivity?
Do land markets lead to more efficient land use?
Are female farmers as productive as male farmers?
How is caste discrimination affecting land productivity?
How does land degradation and land conservation affect land productivity?
How does poverty affect land degradation and investment in conservation?
How does tenure insecurity affect investment in land and land productivity?
How do factor market imperfections affect land productivity and the relationship between farm size and land productivity?
How does climate risk affect land productivity and incentives to intensify production?
