• Integrated Risk and Uncertainty Assessment of Climate Change Response Policies (2014, background): “Farmer differences in ambiguity aversion have been 16 shown to predict the adoption of new farming technology in Peru (Engle-Warnick and Laszlo, 2006) 17 and in the USA (Barham et al., 2011).”
• Psychological factors influencing technology adoption: A case study from the oil and gas industry (2021, background): “Risk judgments are closely linked to perceptions of certainty, memories of (positive or negative) previous experiences with introducing new technologies, and the level of technical knowledge that the decision maker holds (Barham et al., 2014; Ghadim et al., 2005).”
