Modeling Technology Adoption in Developing Countries
分析贫困农户的技术采纳决策，回顾相关实证模型，并讨论理论一致性的成本与收益，帮助理解采纳的微观经济基础。
An analysis of technology adoption decisions by poor farmers is provided. Some possible empirical models for studying technology adoption are reviewed. The issue of theoretical consistency is dealt with in terms of the costs of such consistency, measured in data needs and model complexity, and the benefits, measured in terms of understanding the micro-economic foundations of adoption.
