我们研究了发展中国家农业生产者和购买者之间合同中普遍存在的关于产品质量的信息不对称的缓解效果。购买者可能会向农民低报质量水平，以降低他们必须支付的价格。作为回应，农民可能会限制投资，从而对农业生产力产生负面影响。在一项实验中，我们授权随机选择的越南小农户，他们与一家大公司签订了合同，独立验证牛奶检测结果。结果表明，处理农民使用12%以上的投入，他们也增加了他们的产量显着。一些更广泛的研究和政策影响进行了讨论。
We study the effect of alleviating the information asymmetry regarding product quality that is widespread in contracts between agricultural producers and buyers in developing countries. Opportunistic buyers may underreport quality levels to farmers to reduce the price that they have to pay. In response, farmers may curb investment, thereby negatively affecting farm productivity. In an experiment, we entitle randomly selected smallholder dairy farmers in Vietnam, who are contracted by a large company, to independently verify milk testing results. Results indicate that treatment farmers use 12% more inputs, and they also increase their output significantly. Some wider research and policy implications are discussed.
