This paper investigates whether cooperatives could promote climate-smart agriculture among their members and, through spillover effects on nonmembers in their villages, among their communities at large. For this purpose, we use panel data collected among smallholder farm households in Ethiopia. We find that (i) cooperative membership is positively associated with the number of adaptation practices adopted by farm households; (ii) this association increases with the number of cooperatives of which farm households are members; and (iii) nonmembers in villages with cooperatives adopt more adaptation practices than farm households in villages without cooperatives, although results are statistically significant only for certain types of cooperatives. These results suggest that considering different levels at which climate change adaptation occurs merits greater attention among researchers and policymakers. For example, enhancing the institutional capacity of and creating partnerships with cooperatives could facilitate the implementation of climate change adaptation policies and strategies, including at the farm level.</p>","PeriodicalId":50837,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Economics","volume":"56 4","pages":"637-665"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/agec.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates an OSB management reform in China, which aims to leverage digital technology, specifically satellites, to enhance the local enforcement of OSB regulations. We evaluate the effectiveness of this reform by exploring a unique county-level satellite-based dataset and employing a staggered difference-in-differences approach combined with the two-part model. We found that this reform led to a reduction in counties’ OSB spots by 56.50%. Furthermore, its effectiveness is higher in counties with higher fiscal expenditure-to-revenue ratios, designation as national ecological function zones, higher levels of agricultural mechanization, and livestock production.

First, we document how the number of products containing trans fat has declined over time. Second, using detailed information on household food purchases in retail stores, we quantify the corresponding reduction in total trans fat purchases. We find that although the number of trans fat products on the market has declined over time, products with a positive trans fat content continued to exist beyond the FDA's deadline for trans fat removal. We find a larger presence of trans fat products in small-scale retailers (Dollar and Convenience stores) than in larger outlets (mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs). Similarly, trans fat products are relatively more prevalent in private label products and in products with a local presence. While trans fat purchases have declined over time, lower income households purchase product baskets with significantly larger amounts of trans fat.

This study examines the gender-specific impacts of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) adoption on productivity, food security, and resilience to climate shocks in Tanzania. Using panel data from the World Bank's Tanzanian Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS) spanning 2008–2013, we employ a multinomial switching regression model (MSRM) approach to identify the effects of CSA adoption on agricultural outcomes. Our findings reveal that CSA non-adoption exacerbates the gender gap in yields and food security, favoring men. However, CSA adoption leads to more equitable outcomes, bridging the gender gap and improving productivity and food security for both men and women. Additionally, adopters of CSA techniques exhibit greater resilience to climate shocks, experiencing smaller yield declines during periods of low rainfall. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the gendered impacts of CSA adoption, testing the risk reduction capacity of CSA technologies, and addressing the limited research on Tanzania. The findings emphasize the importance of gender-responsive CSA policies in promoting agricultural resilience and food security in the face of climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":50837,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Economics","volume":"56 2","pages":"247-267"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how the difference between agricultural household nutrition requirements and production kept for home consumption, the Nutritient deficiency from own production (NDOP), impacts children's height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) using a unique survey of 528 households in Zambia. The study also investigates the relationship between NDOP and market-bought nutrition and the role of intra-season price changes in nutrition. To address the endogeneity of NDOP, we use a control function approach. We find that NDOP is associated with lower HAZ. Both energy (calories) NDOP and nutrient-specific NDOP, resulting from underproduction relative to nutritional requirements and from selling more than surplus food crops, are negatively correlated with HAZ. This result suggests that higher productivity and market participation do not always lead to better nutrition. We also find that crop sales (commercialization) only benefit nutrition if the household only sells surplus output relative to its nutritional requirements. Finally, we also find that NDOP does not correlate with market food purchases, and that the seasonal price increases for cereals further dampens market food purchases. The findings highlight that policies promoting smallholder commercialisation may overlook detrimental nutrition trade-offs when own-production falls short of household needs. Accounting for post-harvest allocation of nutrients between own-consumption, sales, and purchases can help ensure agricultural interventions improve farmer livelihoods and child nutrition.</p>","PeriodicalId":50837,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Economics","volume":"56 2","pages":"283-302"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/agec.12876","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a discrete choice experiment, we propose a means-ends framework to shed light on the conditional (on patronage) impact of sustainability nudges on consumer preference for restaurants. The findings reveal that while preserving the subtleness of a specific sustainability nudge, disclosing the means or the mechanism of the nudges leads to a negative impact on consumer restaurant patronage, while revealing the ends or the goodwill behind the sustainability nudges may suggest positive effects on patronage which may in turn lead to an unconditional gain in sustainability. Furthermore, some nudges may only improve patronage if both the means and the ends of nudges are revealed. By examining two types of restaurants, we show that the type of restaurant also significantly influences the effects of sustainability nudges on patronage.
