Signaling, screening, or sunk costs? Experimental evidence on how prices affect agricultural technology adoption in East Africa por Van Campenhout, Bjorn, Abate, Gashaw T., Colen, Liesbeth, Kramer, Berber

“…We test how these pricing mechanisms shape uptake, use, and subsequent adoption of recently released seed varieties of staple food crops, drawing on a field experiment with smallholder farmers in Uganda and Ethiopia. We find that willingness to pay is a reliable predictor of subsequent use of seed trial packs, pointing to the value of modest prices for targeting likely adopters. …”

Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjustment in Legume-Cereal Rotations por Shewangizaw, Beza, Agegnehu, Getachew, Desta, Gizaw, Legesse, Gizachew, Desalegn, Henok, Tigabie, Abiro

“…Legumes play a major role in the sustainability of cropping systems, primarily due to their contribution of biologically fixed N and other beneficial effects, such as breaking pest and disease cycles for non-legume crops (Agegnehu et al., 2014; Peoples et al., 1995; Siddique et al., 2008). In Ethiopia, crops and cropping systems are diverse due to large agroecological and cultural diversity, which in turn leads to variable cropping patterns. …”
