Our power in @Nature is out! Using rich panel data from Ghana, Nigeria, and Mali, we show that the adoption of climate-resilient groundnut varieties increases land productivity, consumption and commercialization. @Lokjour @BisratHaile @IFPRI @ICRISAT

In this #openaccess paper, we examine the relationship between farmer advisory systems (private, public and private-public) and pesticide use both at the extensive and intensive margins in Ghana, Mali, and Nigeria. @IFPRI @ICRISAT @Lokjour @BisratHaile

Using data from Ghana, Mali and Nigeria, we show a positive association between climate-smart agriculture (CSA), land productivity and food consumption. Bundling CSA practices offers more productivity and nutritional gains. @Lokjour @aihounton

I had to re-write the introduction to a paper, so I diagrammed the introductions of a bunch of development papers in top economics journals.

This is what I learned: "How to Write the Introduction of Your Development Economics Paper."
