This review focuses on four key areas:\u00a0(1) technological resources, (2) natural resources, (3) human resources, and (4) social and political capital.\u00a0In general, there has been more empirical research on inorganic fertilizer, seed varieties, extension\u00a0services, and group membership than on tools and mechanization, life-cycle effects, and political\u00a0participation. Across input areas, generally men have higher input measures than women; however, this\u00a0finding is often sensitive to the use of models that control for other background factors, as well as the type\u00a0of gender indicator implemented in the analysis. We find few studies that meet our inclusion criteria\u00a0outside Sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, future directions, opportunities, and recommendations for\u00a0microeconomic gender analysis of nonland agricultural inputs are discussed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The intrahousehold allocation of technology has been very much on my mind recently as I have been finishing a paper on this topic with a student of mine.
