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.
