Descripción
This paper investigates whether the
Pesticides Initiative Program has significantly affected the
export performance of Senegal' shorticulture industry.
The authors apply two main microeconometric techniques,
difference-in-differences and matching
difference-in-differences, to identify the effect of the
Pesticides Initiative Program on exports of fresh fruits and
vegetables. They use a unique firm-level dataset containing
data on sales, employment, and exports by product and
destination markets, as well as firm enrolment year, over
2000-2008. The results suggest that wile the program had no
significant effect on exports pooled over all products and
destinations, it had a positive effect when considering
fresh fruits and vegetables exports to the European Union.
