From Participation to Adoption: Comparing the Effectiveness of Soil Conservation Programs in the Peruvian Andes
比较秘鲁两个土壤保护项目对农户采纳决策的影响，一个采用自上而下的核心活动方式，另一个采用参与式方法提供多种活动组合，发现不同项目吸引不同类型农户并取得不同效果。
Many efforts are made to promote soil conservation in developing countries. This paper compares the effect of two programs promoting soil conservation in Peru on the adoption decision of households. One program applies a top-down approach with soil conservation as its core activity. The other program applies a participatory approach, offering a portfolio of activities in order to improve rural livelihoods. The decisions on participation and adoption are estimated with a trivariate probit model. The results show that each program attracts different types of households and achieves different outcomes in terms of soil conservation. <i></i>
