This study examines the impact of improved wheat variety on productivity using 837 sample farm households in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Propensity score matching (PSM) technique was employed since it is an increasingly utilized standard approach for evaluating impacts using observational data. It is found that improved wheat variety adoption appears to significantly increase productivity on the average by 34-38% for farm households in the study area. Thus, the study recommends that use of improved wheat variety could be an effective strategy to enhance productivity and, thereby, production that contributes a lot to the structural transformation of the Ethiopian economy.
