Sustainable technology adoption: a spatial analysis of the Irish Dairy Sector
使用贝叶斯空间probit模型分析爱尔兰乳牛场采纳可持续技术的空间效应，发现空间溢出效应存在，且教育程度高、规模大、管理集约的农场更易采纳，为政策制定提供参考。
This article explores spatial effects in the adoption of sustainable technologies using Bayesian spatial probit models employing a representative sample of Irish dairy farms. We consider global and local spatial effects, and overcome a missing neighbour problem by implementing census data in our spatial weight matrix. The findings reveal that spatial effects spill over to neighbours and better educated farmers with larger more intensively managed farms being more likely to adopt. The article concludes with policy recommendations that arise from our spatial analysis.
