Spatial dependence in the adoption of organic drystock farming in Ireland
利用贝叶斯空间杜宾probit模型分析近600名爱尔兰干畜养殖户的数据，发现邻近农户的采用行为相似，且社会规范和态度存在空间溢出效应，对农业政策制定有参考价值。
This article analyses spatial dependence in the adoption of organic farming. Bayesian spatial Durbin probit models are applied to survey data of almost 600 Irish drystock farmers. The findings reveal that farmers located in close proximity exhibit similar choice behaviour. In addition, results show the importance of farmer interactions in adoption decisions as social norms and attitudes were identified to have spatial spill-over effects. Overall, the study highlights the importance of accounting for interdependence in farmers' decisions, which emerges as important in the formulation of agricultural policy.
