Resumen
Descripción
The development and diffusion of hybrid maize seed in Kenya is a widely documented
success story. Yet, to our knowledge, a missing link in existing research on maize hybrids in Kenya has been a rigorous analysis of the impacts of seed adoption on farmer welfare. The objective of this study is to initiate that research, using econometric methods applied to a
balanced panel of 1,243 maize-growing households surveyed in 2000, 2004, 2007, and 2010. Data were collected by Tegemeo Institute of Egerton University in collaboration with Michigan State University.
