Agricultural drought is a complex type of drought disaster, involving factors such as soil, crops, atmosphere, and human resource utilization. The identification of regions’ agricultural drought risk and factors affecting agricultural drought risk level are significant for disaster prevention...

Organizational ambidexterity has been employed in the study of international business. Existing studies advocate an ambidextrous internationalization strategy for multinational enterprises in emerging markets (EM MNEs). However, the performance effect and moderating mechanism of international...

This paper develops the structural Ricardian method, a new approach to modeling agricultural performance using cross-sectional evidence, and uses the method to study animal husbandry in Africa. The model is intended to estimate the structure beneath Ricardian results in order to understand how...

Previous Ricardian analyses of agriculture have either omitted irrigation or treated irrigation as though it is exogenous. In practice, it is a choice by farmers that is sensitive to climate. This paper develops a choice model of irrigation in the context of a Ricardian model of cropland. The...

This paper uses quantitative methods to examine the way African farmers have adapted livestock management to the range of climates found across the African continent. The authors use logit analysis to estimate whether farmers adopt livestock. They then use three econometric models to examine...

This paper estimates a model of a farm that treats the choice of crops, livestock, and irrigation as endogenous. The model is composed of a multinomial choice of farm type, a binomial choice of irrigation, and a set of conditional land value functions. The model is estimated across over 2,000...
