Despite this, Malaysia has made an extreme policy decision to pursue an autarky economy in its primary staple, i.e., rice, thus...Volume 16 Issue No. 1 (June 2019) -
Heterogeneous Climatic Impacts on Agricultural Production: Evidence from Rice Yield in Assam, India
Understanding the nature and extent of climatic impacts on agricultural productivity under a variety of scenarios is extremely important for developing countries, where a sizable portion of the population relies on agriculture for life and livelihood. Thus, this paper presents evidence of...Volume 15 Issue No. 1 (June 2018) -
Assessment of Neighborhood and Spillover Effects on Technical Efficiency of Irrigated Rice Farmers
Neighborhood and spillover effects on technical efficiency were investigated among 270 randomly drawn farming households from 18 irrigated villages in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, using a two-step procedure. In the first stage, stochastic frontier production function was used to estimate...Volume 14 Issue No. 2 (December 2017) -

The Role of Gender, Risk, and Time Preferences in Farmers' Rice Variety Selection in Eastern India
Using data from 5,601 rice farmers in Eastern India, this study examined the role of gender, risk, and time preferences in farmers' rice variety selection in Eastern India. The determinants of the following were estimated: farmers' rice variety selection according to variety type (i.e....Volume 14 Issue No. 1 (June 2017) -
Expert Elicitation for Assessing Agricultural Technology Adoption: The Case of Improved Rice Varieties in South Asian Countries
Cultivar-specific adoption information is imperative for agricultural research organizations to make strategic research plans for crop-genetic development. However, such data are often unavailable in developing countries or obsolete and unreliable even when they exist. A budget-friendly and reliable...Volume 12 Issue No. 1 (June 2015) -
Rural Labor Outmigration and Gender Dimension in an Assessment of Farm Technical Efficiency: A Case Study in Selected Rice Villages in the Philippines
Several studies have shown that labor outmigration is one of the livelihood strategies of poor farming households. However, no studies have shown its effect on rice crop production including a gender dimension on technical efficiency in rice farming. This paper attempts to improve the understanding...Volume 12 Issue No. 1 (June 2015) -
Rice Yield Gap between Myanmar and Vietnam: A Matter of Price Policy or Public Investment in Technology?
This paper examines the rice yield gap between Myanmar and Vietnam, two countries that show a stark contrast in terms of rice production in the past two decades. It considers the impact on yield of price policies and public investments in production technology. While domestic rice prices were once...Volume 10 Issue No. 1 (June 2013) -
Determinants of Household Income: A Quantile Regression Approach for Four Rice-Producing Areas in the Philippines
This paper investigates the determinants of total household income in selected rice-based farming villages in the Philippines. A quantile regression approach was applied on cross-section data obtained from 656 farming households across four provinces. Determinants of household income were examined...Volume 9 Issue No. 2 (December 2012) -
Estimation of Technical Efficiency for Rice Farms in Central Thailand Using Stochastic Frontier Approach
As one of Thailand's economic crops, rice plays an important role in generating national income and creating domestic employment for the country. Its production has been increasing because of the expansion of areas planted to rice and not due to increases in productivity. The national average...Volume 9 Issue No. 2 (December 2012)
