This paper investigates the effects of crop genetic diversity on farm productivity and production risk in the highlands of Ethiopia.
We investigate attitudes toward positionality among rural farmers in Northern Ethiopia using a survey experiment.
On average, we find very low positional concerns both for income per se and for income from aid projects. The results support the claim that positional concerns are positively correlated with absolute level of income. The implications of our results on implementation of aid projects are discussed.
We investigate risk and ambiguity attitudes among Ethiopian farmers in one of the poorest regions of the world.
Does relative income have an impact on subjective well-being among extremely poor people?

Using a random sample of individuals in rural Bangladesh, this paper investigates people's ethical preferences regarding relative values of lives when it comes to saving lives of individuals of different ages. By assuming that an individual has preferences concerning different states of the world, and that these preferences can be described by an individual social welfare function, the individuals' preferences for life-saving programs are elicited using a pair-wise choice experiment involving different life-saving programs.
