Farnsworth Kakou, Omer 2015-09-25T20:56:00Z 2015-09-25T20:56:00Z 10000-01-01 2000 2000 The econometric application focuses on the relative importance of pecuniary and nonpecuniary variables on adoption decisions and the effects of joint adoption decisions on estimation of adoption models. The results give an indication for the need to broaden the scope of the analysis of the farmer's technology choice problem beyond pecuniary variables. In particular, the beliefs held by farmers are found to have a positive and significant impact on their adoption choices. The results also reveal that, in cases of multiple technology adoption, the likelihood of joint adoption is generally high, providing an incentive to promote packages of agricultural technologies.
