Understanding the Complexities Surrounding Gender Differences in Agricultural Productivity in Nigeria and Uganda
研究尼日利亚和乌干达农业生产力中的性别差异，发现女性拥有的地块和女性户主家庭生产力持续较低，但差异因性别指标、作物类型和生态区而异。
Abstract We investigate gender differences in agricultural productivity in Nigeria and Uganda. Results indicate persistent lower productivity on female-owned plots and among female-headed households, accounting for a range of socio-economic variables, agricultural inputs and crop choices using multivariate tobit models. Results are robust to inclusion of household-level unobservables and alternative specifications that account for decisions to plant crops. However, productivity differences depend on aggregation of gender indicator, crop-specific samples, agro-ecological zone and biophysical characteristics. More nuanced gender data collection and analysis are encouraged to identify interventions that will increase productivity and program effectiveness for male and female farmers.
