Decentralised innovation systems and poverty reduction: experimental evidence from Central Africa
利用实验数据比较去中心化创新平台与传统推广方式在中非农业中的减贫效果，发现前者更有效，但平台表现存在显著差异。
We use experimental data to investigate whether a decentralised approach to promoting innovation in central African agriculture outperforms conventional extension approaches. Our main result is that this decentralised approach, based on so-called innovation platforms, is effective in reducing poverty -more effective than conventional extension approaches. However, we also document considerable heterogeneity in terms of platform performance.
