Climate change, soil water conservation, and productivity: Evidence from cocoa farmers in Ghana
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on soil water conservation practices carried out by cocoa farmers in Ghana to cope with climate change, its impact on productivity, and the determinants of the inter-causal relationship between water conservation and productivity.

Beyond adoption: the interaction between organic and inorganic fertilizer application, and vegetable productivity in Ghana
Bismark Amfo,Ernest Baba Ali +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the causal association between organic and inorganic fertilizer application and vegetable productivity in Ghana was explored, and the results showed that vegetable producers who applied either organic or inorganic fertilizers, or both, recorded higher productivity than those who did not apply fertilizer.

Food coping strategies among migrant labourers on cocoa farms in southern Ghana
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined coping strategies adopted by migrant labourers on cocoa farms in Southern Ghana in the face of food shortfalls, using primary data from 400 labourers and multivariate probit regression models to investigate migrants' food coping mechanisms and their key determinants.

Some statistical models for limited dependent variables with application to the demand for durable goods
TL;DR: This article developed several models for limited dependent variables, which are extensions of the multiple probit analysis model and differ from that model by allowing the determination of the size of the variable when it is not zero to depend on different parameters or variables from those determining the probability of its being zero.

Bivariate alternatives to the tobit model
Richard Blundell,Costas Meghir +1 more
TL;DR: The authors discusses some generalisations of the Tobit model that allow for distinct processes determining the censoring rule and the continuous observations and examines the effect of different behavioural assumptions on the econometric model.

Attitudes and behaviour towards organic products: an exploratory study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify consumers' attitudes and behaviour towards organic products in Greece and find that most consumers associate organic consumption mainly with fruit and vegetables, while demographics seem to affect attitudes towards organics, their value in explaining actual behaviour is minimal.

Achieving Highly Efficient Atmospheric CO 2 Uptake by Artificial Upwelling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated the power needed to raise the level of deep ocean water (DOW) to designated plume trapping depths in order to evaluate the effect of changing the source DOW depth and the plume-trapping depth on carbon sequestration ability and efficiency.
