“…Thus we used the double-hurdle model proposed by Cragg (1971) in which the event of a farmer being a potential adopter and the intensity of adoption are treated separately. Furthermore, empirical results by both Moffatt (2003) and Martínez-Espiñeira (2006) reveal that the double-hurdle model gives results superior to those obtained from Tobit and P-Tobit models.…”

This paper investigates the determinants of adoption of improved cassava varieties in south-westernNigeria. The data come from a farm household survey of 841 households selected using a three-stage stratified random sampling procedure. The data collection was conducted in 2011 by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. Empirical estimates of a Double-Hurdle model revealed that adoption increases with the age of the household head and is influenced by the gender of the household head, hired labour, cultivated land, and access to credit. The results further showed that the intensity of adoption is influenced by hired labour and farm size; access to information about the improved cassava varieties is determined by the age, gender, and level of education of the household head, and by off-farm income.

“…While evaluation of wildlife in terms of the cost of a given species (to replace) and how people value wildlife aesthetically is an important discipline (Costanza, 1993;Costanza et al 1997;Efroymson et al 2008;Nielsen et al 2007), other characteristics of the ecosystem itself are often ignored. Contingent valuation is used for the former (Chambers & Whitehead, 2003;Diamond & Hausman, 1994;Mitchell & Carson, 1989), while examining preferences for the latter is an approach often used (Martinez-Espineira, 2006).…”

Managing ecosystems requires understanding how people use and value them. The objective of this study was to examine gender differences in resource use and perceptions of environmental quality in Native Americans and Caucasians interviewed at an Indian festival in East-central Idaho. More men than women engaged in consumptive activities, but there were no differences for non-consumptive or religious/spiritual. More Caucasian males engaged in hunting, and more females engaged in collecting herb and, berries, and bird-watching. More Native American males engaged in hunting and fishing, and more females engaged in picnics and walking/running. Women had higher rates of hike, walk and bike than did men, and there were no ethnic differences. The data indicate that both the percent participation and the frequency of participation varied both ethnically and by gender.

“…The double hurdle model originally proposed by Cragg (1971) in addition to its assumption that the two decision tiers are not necessarily affected by the same set of factors, is a remedy to the problem of corner solution arising in the Tobit model, and has been extensively in use in several studies (Mignouna et al, 2011;Yu and Ninpratt, 2014;Martínez-Espiñeira, 2006;Moffat, 2003;Newman et al, 2001;Burton et al, 1996).…”

White haricot bean is a major source of food (protein) and income for the rural households of Ethiopia. Nationally, it is among the major pulse crops used for export. Despite its contribution, adoption of white haricot beans variety is very low. With this backdrop, this study analyzed the determinants of the decision to adopt and intensify the adoption of white haricot beans. A sample of 394 farm households were selected randomly proportional to their size in each sampled village. A double hurdle model is used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that the decision to adopt white haricot beans variety is influenced positively by frequency of extension visits, land size allocated to haricot beans, agricultural income, price perception, training obtained and perception on fertility enhancement benefit of the crop, and negatively by distant to market, ownership of haricot beans farm land (tenure) and nutritional perception of the crop. The intensity of adoption of white beans is affected negatively by the number of dependents in the household, ownership of haricot beans land (tenure) and positively by non-farm income and contact with non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The study recommends that appropriate measures should be taken to strengthen the extension services, provision of related trainings, improvement of existing infrastructures, family planning, more involvement of other NGOs (stakeholders) in the area, provision of the required inputs in time and quantity, and measures to reduce risks on output (loss) and market price in order to promote the adoption of white haricot beans in general.
