Analysing Irrigation Farmers’ Preferences for Local Governance Using a Discrete Choice Experiment in India and Pakistan

Abstract: This paper reports the results of an investigation into the preferences of irrigation farmers for different payment apparatus for irrigation fees. We also report the results of a study that queried farmers’ preferred model for water governance at a local level. The results and analysis thus make an important contribution to the debate about how participatory irrigation might operate more effectively, especially in India and Pakistan. The rationale for this study is that aligning the payment mechanisms and loca… Show more

“…The key finding from this ambitious work was that there is considerable diversity of preferences across and within jurisdictions. As with Hone et al [13], Burton, Cooper, and Crase [14] conclude that there is no simple universal panacea to enhancing the performance of PIM and understanding the local setting is paramount.…”

“…It is important to acknowledge that our assumption of homogeneous decision behavior among all farmers may not hold true in a real-world scenario (Sanga et al, 2021). Conducting interviews and behavioral modeling, such as discrete choice experiments (Burton et al, 2020), would be valuable for future improvements, allowing for a better understanding of crop choice dynamics and farming area preferences. However, it is essential to consider that interviews provide a snapshot of the current situation, and we must assume that future farmers will behave in a similar manner.…”
