Joint estimation of farmers' stated willingness to pay for agricultural services por Ulimwengu, John M., Sanyal, Prabuddha

“…In this paper we use a multivariate probit approach to investigate farmers' stated willingness to pay for different agricultural services including soil fertility management, crop protection, farm management, improved produce quality /varieties, on-farm storage (post-harvest), improved individual and group marketing, and disease control. Data are from the Uganda National Household Survey 2005/2006. Controlling for individual characteristics and regional heterogeneity, our results suggest that farmers with access to information on proposed agricultural service are less willing to pay for it. …”
