Despite the fact that inhabitants of rural areas in low-income countries are most distressed by this, no prior research has studied the impact of poor visual acuity on the economic performance of farms. We conduct a standardized eye test with 288 farm managers in rural Cambodia and find that around 30 percent of our sample suffers from poor visual acuity in terms of nearsightedness (myopia). Our analyses indicate a statistically significant and economically meaningful association of poor visual acuity with economic farm performance. Our results show that gross margins for cropping activities per year could be, on average, around 630 USD higher if farm managers were able to correct for poor vision. Our results suggest that poor visual acuity impairs farm managers from tapping the full potential of their business, which in turn decreases their chance to break the vicious cycle of poverty."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0274048"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/114473"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-600"],["dc.relation.eissn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","The effect of poor vision on economic farm performance: Evidence from rural Cambodia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","unpublished"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Those most harshly affected are people living in rural areas of low-income countries, regions that are often characterized by information asymmetries leading to market failure. The widespread growth of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in remote areas across the world holds immense potential for lifting the information barriers of the rural poor. However, there is little evidence of the effectiveness of delivery channels, which might be one reason why digital advice differs in its impact. Seeking to ascertain how smallholders can best be served by ICT, the authors investigated information needs and effective ICT delivery channels. Sociodemographic and ICT-related data was collected and a framed field experiment was conducted with smallholders in Cambodia; they were asked to build an object while using various delivery channels for instruction. Employing different regression techniques and matching algorithms, the experiment reveals that multisensory instructions trump all others."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/03400352211057148"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/102552"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","SAGE Publications"],["dc.relation.eissn","1745-2651"],["dc.relation.issn","0340-0352"],["dc.relation.issn","1745-2651"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Information needs and delivery channels: Experimental evidence from Cambodian smallholders"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
