Peer review Open Access
The aim of this study is to measure the impact of improved maize varieties on farm productivity and smallholders’ wellbeing using data collected from the East Hararghe Zone of Ethiopia. We combined propensity score matching method with endogenous switching regression to estimate the impact on the welfare of farmers and we applied the stochastic frontier corrected for sample selection to measure the impact on farm productivity. The results show that adoption of improved maize varieties leads to significant gains in wellbeing and improves farm productivity.
