Adoption of agricultural innovations as a two-stage partial observability process
2017
Dimara, Efthalia | Skuras, Dimitris
In this paper, we reconsider the appropriateness of certain statistical analyses in innovation adoption studies and suggestthat partial observability models may sometimes be more useful. The proposed models allow for a flexible specification ofthe process of adoption from one stage to two stages, facilitate the modelling of non-adopters and remedy the violation ofthe assumption of full information. An application to the adoption of organic cultivation in Greece demonstrates the relativemerits of the proposed analysis.© 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
