Driving factors toward adoption of improved maize varieties in Mozambique. An approach based on generalized estimating equations for spatial structured data / Determinantes da adopção de variedades melhoradas de milho: Uma abordagem baseada em equações de estimação generalizadas para dados com estrutura espacial
Abstract:Maize is one of the main economic crops and staple food in Mozambique. However, despite the importance of the crop in the country, maize productivity is still low due to several factors including low adoption of improved agricultural technologies. This paper aimed to identify the main factors driving adoption of improved maize varieties applying generalized estimating equations (GEE). The motivation for this class of models is due to the fact that adoption of improved maize varieties is a spatial auto correlat… Show more
