Dual pricing is a vertical restraint whereby a manufacturer charges a distributor a different price for units intended to be resold online than for units intended to be resold offline.

We examine the impact of agricultural productivity growth on deforestation in the tropics. We first develop a dynamic model of forest conversion to farmlands, in which conversion is costly and market potential for the agricultural output is limited - both of which affect the amount of land and...

Land market incompleteness is argued to have pervasive effects in Sub-Saharan Africa, including on agricultural efficiency, equity, and structural transformation. Yet experimental evidence on land market participation is virtually non-existent. We randomly allocate subsidies for agricultural...
