Every week I'll be posting the latest papers on Agricultural Economy published by universities, journals, and Ag Econ meetings. These are extremely technical, with lots of econometrics that may seem too abstract to non-economist. Yet they can be useful to some of the readers out there with a trained eye on these subjects.
There are about 25 papers; read over the titles and click the ones that you find interesting. Check out the one on Returns on Education, using the case of Nigeria. The paper provides a very informative literature review about the different work done on this subject.
Remember to click the READ MORE link to see the full post. And also, click on the labels to see related posts.
Best,
