Farmers' Welfare and Changing Food Prices: Nonparametric Evidence from Rice in Madagascar
Abstract
This paper uses nonparametric density estimation and kernel smoothing techniques to examine the instantaneous distributional implications of rice price changes in Madagascar. While many farmers do not participate in product markets as either buyers or sellers, and net sales or marketable surplus are fairly small for many others, the roughly one‐third of rice farmers who fall below the poverty line face significant negative first‐order welfare effects from increases in the mean or variance of rice prices. Conversely, the first‐order gains from rice price increases are highly concentrated among the largest rice farmers and particular regions in Madagascar.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
