Comparing greenhouse gas emission and the social costs of paddy production with and without laser land leveling adoption: a case study of paddy mono-cropping system in Vietnam

Abstract

In this study, we aim to estimate the causal effects of LLL on input usage and yield and use the results on treatment effect as inputs for the incremental cost benefit analysis in paddy production in the Mekong Delta region, Vietnam. The findings affirm the economic feasibility of the LLL technique, as indicated by both private and social analyses.
