Computer Use in Agriculture: Evidence from Tulare County, California
基于加州图莱里县农户调查数据,用Logit模型分析农场规模、教育、年龄和副业如何影响计算机及软件拥有概率,发现产品类型无显著影响。
Abstract Logit analysis using data from a survey of Tulare County, California, farmers is used to examine computer and application ownership patterns in agriculture. The analysis indicates that the size of the farming operation, education level, age level, and the ownership of a farm‐related nonfarming business significantly influence the probability of computer ownership; however, the type of farm products used on the farm does not. The type of application software owned is influenced primarily by the type of farm products produced, the size of the farming operation, ownership of a farm‐related business, and the education level of the farmer.
