Farm technology adoption in Kenya: a simultaneous estimation of inorganic fertilizer and improved maize variety adoption decisions (2014, background): “Besley and Case (1993), for instance, used a model of learning in a situation where profitability of technology adoption was uncertain and beyond the farmer’s control in India.”
Seeing is Believing? Evidence from an Extension Network Experiment (2014, background): “Hence, our results corroborate the idea that the “proximity” of the source of information may be the primary constraint on changes in farmer behavior (Munshi, 2004; Feder and Savastano, 2006; Bandiera and Rasul, 2006; Conley and Udry, 2010) and, therefore, that the process of CF selection may affect”
