Note: Column (1) presents first stage regression results predicting access to technology transfer with lagged weighted distance to technology transfer as an instrument. Column (2) presents first stage regression results predicting access to improved seed with lagged weighted distance to seed as an instrument. Fully robust standard errors in parentheses (*p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01). Regressions include the means of time-variant variables, year dummies and village dummies.
