“…In addition to the general responses, the evolutionary variability (i.e., imitation and exploration) of individuals is another indicator of their behavioral integrity; from these concepts, it is indeed clear that autonomous behaviors (i.e., bias) and features (i.e., utility) differ in accordance with the relative weights (i.e., network-agent dynamics) of their micro-variable potentials [37]. Thus, based on the interconnected condition, computerized simulation is expected to become more reliable with regard to the key features that are mechanically frameworked in this model for increasing bias levels [38]. These factors extended from this study may be useful criteria for decision making and suggest a broader hypothesis for further research into the interconnectedness of social dilemmas in mathematical decisions of (public good) game theory.…”

This paper proposes a possible mechanism for obtaining sizeable behavioral structures by simulating a network–agent dynamic on an evolutionary public good game with available social .learning. The model considers a population with a fixed number of players. In each round, the chosen players may contribute part of their value to a common pool. Then, each player may imitate the strategy of another player based on relative payoffs (whoever has the lower payoff adopts the strategy of the other player) and change his or her strategy using different exploratory variables. Relative payoffs are subject to incentives, including participation costs, but may also be subject to mutation, whose rate is sensitized by the network characteristics (social ties). The process discussed in this report is interesting and relevant across a broad range of disciplines that use game theory, including cultural evolutionary dynamics.

“…Additionally, the common pool nature of groundwater where the same aquifer is accessed by multiple users creates challenges for adoption of demand management strategies such as drip irrigation (Gardner et al, 1990;Asprilla-Echeverria, 2021). This is because saving water in one's well using drip irrigation does not necessarily translate to actual savings for the farmer if other farmers continue to abstract without drip irrigation.…”

“…Finally, the common pool nature of groundwater may hinder adoption at the individual level of demand management interventions (Gardner et al, 1990;Asprilla-Echeverria, 2021). Given that farmers tap into a shared resource, cooperation at the village level and incentivization may be required to realize the bene ts of drip adoption at the individual level.…”

Subsidies alone are not enough to increase adoption of agricultural water management interventions

The adoption of agricultural water interventions for climate change adaptation has been slow and limited despite their established efficacy and benefits. While several studies have identified socio-economic, biophysical, technological and institutional factors that influence adoption, psychological factors have often been overlooked. This study examines the socio-economic and psychological factors, using RANAS behavioral model, that influence the adoption of agricultural water interventions in the semi-arid region of Saurashtra in India. Two contrasting and dominating agricultural water interventions in the area: drip irrigation and borewells are evaluated. Despite subsidies being available for drip irrigation systems, the adoption rate remains low (~16% adopting rate) compared to borewells (~ 24.5% adoption) with no subsidies reflecting farmer’s preference for supply augmentation measures over demand management. Incorporating psychological factors in the analysis improved the explanatory power of the logistic model by almost threefold, underscoring the significance of psychological factors in explaining farmers' adoption decisions. Based on the logistic model, major factors determining farmers adoption behaviour identified are farmer’s perceived ability, risk preference and positive beliefs about the technologies along with socio-economic (e.g., land size) and biophysical factors (e.g., proximity to water). The study recommends a multi-pronged approach to increase the adoption of interventions, including augmenting subsidies with efforts on extension services, post-adoption services, training, and awareness campaigns to build farmers' capacity and raise awareness.
