ethiopia | Energy Forestry Coping with Fuelwood scarcity: Household responses in rural Ethiopia This study uses survey data from randomly selected rural households in Ethiopia to examine the coping mechanisms employed by rural households to deal with fuelwood scarcity. The determinants of collecting other biomass energy sources were also examined. Damte, Abebe, Steven F. Koch and Alemu Mekonnen, 2012, "Coping with fuelwood scarcity: Household responses in rural Ethiopia", Environment for Development Discussion Paper Series January 2012, EfD DP 12-01.

ethiopia | Agriculture Policy design Assessing the Functioning of Land Rental Markets in Ethiopia Although a large theoretical literature discusses the possible inefficiency of sharecropping contracts, empirical evidence on this phenomenon has been ambiguous at best. Household‐level fixed‐effect estimates from about 8,500 plots operated by households that own and sharecrop land in the Ethiopian highlands provide support for the hypothesis of Marshallian inefficiency. Klaus Deininger, Daniel Ayalew Ali and Tekie Alemu, 2008, "Assessing the Functioning of Land Rental Markets in Ethiopia", Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 57(1), pp. 67-100.

ethiopia | Agriculture Impact of Perennial Cash Cropping on Food Crop Production and Productivity The argument for promoting cash crops in developing countries has generally been based on their contribution to small farmer incomes and their impact on other household activities such as household crop production through interlinked markets. Debela, A.T., 2010, "Impact of Perennial Cash Cropping on Food Crop Production and Productivity", Ethiopian Journal of Economics, 18(1).
