Adoption and Diffusion of Drip Irrigation Technology: An Econometric Analysis

Community Pressure and Clean Technology in the Informal Sector: An Econometric Analysis of the Adoption of Propane by Traditional Mexican Brickmakers

“…The assumption that brickmakers know the intertemporal path of costs is less restrictive than the alternative assumptions that yield the same result: (a) agents choose a technology by simply comparing the costs and benefits that accrue in the period 0 (e.g., Lin, 1991;Shrestha and Gopalakrishnan, 1993) …”

Irrigation Technology Transitions in the Mid-plains States: Implications for Water Conservation/Water Quality Goals and Institutional Changes

“…The authors concluded that in the absence of policy-induced conservation incentives, future irrigation technology transitions for the region would likely be relatively slow. Shrestha & Gopalakrishnan (1993), using a discrete choice, limited dependent variable approach, confirmed the importance of technical, informational, locational and management factors in field-level decisions for drip irrigation in Hawaii's sugar industry. Green et al (1996) and Green & Sunding (1997) used multinomial and binomial logit technology adoption models, respectively, for irrigators growing high-valued crops in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California.…”

The Modelling of Irrigation Allocation in Croatia

“…For example, economic considerations suggest that the propensity to adopt irrigation in a field depends on the excepted net gain in yield (revenue) from such an adoption [7]. The net gain in yield is connected to land quality and well depth, which are important factors in the choice of irrigation technology [8].…”
