Dear all,
I wish to get some preliminary idea on modelling household level / individual level health status of agricultural households / farmers with level of farm-level productivity. Could someone help me with some literature on theory / models ? It will be of great use.
Thanks.
Hi Balaji, I don't know if my answer makes any sense but I think ROI (Return on Investment) model would work. such that, the investment is what the farmer invests in the farm/ farm productivity and return could be the nutritional portfolio from consuming the harvest. And then measure it against WHO's DALY. For theory, I am well conversant with theoretical literature but for empirical, search on marginal SROI (Social return on Investment) and Impact measurement tools. Most of these theory you can get it from M&E journals for agricultural organisations. Good luck
You can use Data Envelopment Analysis by identifying input indicators like nutritional status, age of the farmer and DALYs or QALYs and output indicator as farm output.
Hi!
First you have to decide, what would be the cause and what would be the effect. I would suggest you to check the data first (by exploratory analysis) and then you could check the correlation among your interest-variables. If you get some good results there then you could also run some basic OLS regressions. Based on your regression results you could choose some sophisticated methods for your analysis then.
All the best!
Dear all
kindly give suggestion, which theory explains agricultural labor productivity in relation to infrastructure?
