STOCHASTIC STRUCTURE, FARM SIZE AND TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION IN DEVELOPING AGRICULTURE
Abstract
Extract: This paper develops a model that explains land-use allocation and technology adoption taking into account the interfarm variation of land holdings and the role of land holdings (wealth) in determining risk preferences. The model specifically recognizes differential uncertainties in both traditional and modern technological processes and the marginal effects of modern inputs on risk as well as fixed costs attached to adoption. As a by-product, the results also suggest a structural econometric specification that can serve as a basis for empirical examination of the relationship of farm size and adoption

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
