Are national agricultural panels fit for purpose? : parcel instability, land rental market measurement, and allocative efficiency in sub-Saharan Africa

Holden, Stein Terje; Makate, Clifton - 2026

Land rental markets are often viewed as an important mechanism for improving allocative efficiency in smallholder agriculture. A growing literature has used nationally representative household panel data, particularly the LSMS-ISA surveys, to study land rental market participation and land...

This paper examines the resource mismatch in China's healthcare sector from 2010 to 2019. We use structural efficiency to measure the resource mismatch in the healthcare industry (0.2-0.7). We find that an increase in the proportion of private hospitals decreases the healthcare resource mismatch...

We argue that capital misallocation arises endogenously due to incomplete consumption insurance. We model risk-averse entrepreneurs with heterogeneous productivity who face idiosyncratic output shocks and choose how much capital to rent before uncertainty unfolds. We show that incomplete markets...
