    Abstract

    Factor market failures can limit adoption of profitable technologies. We leverage a plot-level spatial regression discontinuity design in the context of irrigation use by farmers provided free access to water. Using irrigation boosts profits by 43–62 percent. Yet, farmers only irrigate 30 percent of plots because of labor costs. We demonstrate inefficient irrigation use, by showing farmers irrigating one plot reduce their irrigation use on other plots. This inefficiency is largest for smaller households and wealthier households, suggesting labor market frictions constrain use of irrigation.

    Reproducibility

    Technology environment

    The code was last run on a 12-core Intel-based laptop with Ubuntu version 20.04 with 16 GB of RAM.

    Technology requirements

    Computation took approximately 8 hours.
    Reproduction instructions

    A readme file with detailed instructions is part of the (external) reproducibility package.

    Data

    Data statement

    The data are from household surveys collected by enumerators (including plot boundaries mapped using handheld GPS devices), and from Landsat. Landsat data are from Landsat 7 Level 2, Collection 2, Tier 1 and were extracted from Google Earth Engine using the rgee and rgeeExtra packages in R; Landsat data are public domain. All data are publicly available. Detailed description in the readme file contained in the replication package.
