TLDR
In this paper, a polychotomous choice model is applied to the choice of alternative management practices on cropland in the Central Nebraska Basin and controlled for self-selection and the interaction between alternative practices.Abstract:
Farmers' management practices can have a significant effect on agricultural pollution. Past research has analyzed factors influencing adoption of a single management practice. But often adoption decisions about many practices are made simultaneously, which suggests use of a polychotomous-choice model to analyze decisions. Such a model is applied to the choice of alternative management practices on cropland in the Central Nebraska Basin and controlled for self-selection and the interaction between alternative practices. The results of the choice model are used to estimate the economic and environmental effects of adopting alternative combinations of management practices.read more

Perception of and adaptation to climate change by farmers in the Nile basin of Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed the Heckman sample selection model to analyse the two-step process of adaptation to climate change, which initially requires farmers' perception that climate is changing prior to responding to changes through adaptation.

Factors Affecting the Use of Soil Conservation Practices: Hypotheses, Evidence, and Policy Implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the land-use restrictions prescribed by the Endangered Species Act have failed to protect endangered species on private land and there has been a call for using incentives to complement this regulatory approach.

Anatomy of the Selection Problem
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of estimating a regression when realizations of (y, x) are sampled randomly but y is observed selectively is considered, and the problem faced by the researcher is to find correct prior restrictions which, when combined with the data, identify the regression.

Crop Insurance, Moral Hazard, and Agricultural Chemical Use
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between chemical input use and crop insurance purchase decisions for a sample of Kansas dryland wheat farmers and found that farmers that purchased insurance tended to use relatively more chemical inputs than farmers who did not insure.
