Social interaction and geographic diffusion of iron-biofortified beans in Rwanda by Funes, Jose, Sun, Laixiang, Sedano, Fernando, Baiocchi, Giovanni, Benson, Todd

“…We approach this study by applying spatial econometric techniques to estimate neighborhood influence and to determine the factors driving the adoption of iron-biofortified beans (IBB). We employ a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey of bean producing households from 2015 bean growing season B in Rwanda, and present results for growers of both bush and climbing varieties of beans. …”
