• Tradeoffs and Complementarities in the Adoption of Improved Seeds, Fertilizer, and Natural Resource Management Technologies in Kenya (2016, methodology): “As the adoption of specific technologies is not independent of other technological choices on the same farm, we employ a multivariate probit (MVP) model that accounts for error term correlation (Marenya and Barrett, 2007).”
