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. …”
