We study the impact of improved chickpea adoption using three rounds of panel data. Adoption is instrumented using a control function approach and double hurdle model. Improved chickpea increased household income and reduced $2.00 (median) poverty. We find strong impacts for the three lower landholding quartiles. Improved chickpea are a promising pathway for rural development in Ethiopia.
