Toward an Understanding of Technology Adoption: Risk, Learning, and Neighborhood Effects (2005, methodology): “Learning by doing is the simpler of the two processes to model and was first addressed by Lindner, Fisher, and Pardy (1979) and Stoneman 1 See Isik and Khanna (2003) for a recent application incorporating uncertainty and risk preferences in a single period adoption model.”
The Roles of Risk and Ambiguity in Technology Adoption (2014, methodology): “…utility model commonly used in technology adoption studies, farmers choose the technology that provides the highest expected utility conditional on their aversion to risk (Feder et al., 1985; Sunding and Zilberman, 2001; Isik and Khanna, 2003; Marra et al., 2003; Foster and Rosenzweig, 2010).”
Adoption of climate‐smart agriculture among smallholder farmers: Does farmer entrepreneurship matter? (2021, background): “…and for decades since the work of Feder et al. (1985), studies on farmers’ cognitive traits have largely focused on how risk preferences (the tendency to choose an action or activity with high risks) influence technology adoption decisions (Isik and Khanna, 2003; Jianjun et al., 2015; Liu, 2013).”
An analysis of the impact of climate change on crop yields and yield variability (2006, methodology): “This variance specification, introduced by Harvey (1976) and employed by several empirical studies in the literature (Asche and Tveteras, 1999; Isik and Khanna, 2003), ensures positive output variance.”
Farmers’ risk preferences and pesticide use decisions: evidence from field experiments in China (2016, unknown): “An Overview of Risk Aversion and Its Relations with Farmers’ Investment Decisions Risk plays an important role in farmers’ investment decisions (Babcock and Shogren 1995; Coady 1993; Isik and Khanna, 2003; Just and Pope 1978; Knight et al. 2003; Liu 2008; Pope and Kramer 1979).”
Differential uncertainties and risk attitudes between conventional and organic producers: the case of Spanish arable crop farmers (2008, methodology): “Pope 2002; Serra et al. 2006; Isik and Khanna 2003; Saha 1997).”
Cost-effective design of agri-environmental payment programs: U.S. experience in theory and practice (2008, background): “On working land, however, some practices, including conservation tillage and nutrient management may be viewed as risk increasing, which may increase the incentives needed to encourage adoption of these practices (see Sandretto, 1997; Sheriff, 2005; Isik and Khanna, 2003).”
