“…Accordingly, the average value of the willingness to pay for a piped water connection was about 5 -7% of the monthly household expenditure. The willingness to pay for rice traits in Kurunegala and Hambantota districts was estimated using the spatial hedonic pricing model by Mendis and Edirisinghe (2013). The estimated function confirmed the presence of a spatial relationship in paddy prices.…”

Hotel room pricing in the tourism sector is a major application of the hedonic pricing method. This study predominantly focused on investigating whether room rates of hotels and guest houses in Hikkaduwa show the value of environmental amenities of the beach. Developing the hedonic pricing model used data from 72 hotels and guest houses, using a multiple linear regression. The explanatory power of the model was strong with an adjusted R 2 value of 0.803. The results lent support to the view that both non-environmental and environmental characteristics of hotels and guest houses, including the environmental amenities in the Hikkaduwa beach, influence the room rates. The significant non-environmental characteristic variables were having a swimming pool, a minibar, the internet access to the room, air conditioning in the room and the size of the room. The presence of a swimming pool increases the room rates by 73.7 %. The significant variables related to the environmental amenities in the Hikkaduwa beach were having sea view to the rooms and the hotel or the guest house being close to the beach. The room rates of hotels and guest houses with sea view to their rooms were 42% higher than the room rates of hotels and guest houses without that opportunity. Similarly, the room rates were 41.5% higher when the hotels and the guest houses are within 25 m from the beach. Moreover, having a garden with flowering plants was significant. The Marginal Willingness to Pay values for having sea view to the rooms and for being close to the beach were Rs. 2496 and Rs. 2466 respectively. These research outcomes will be useful in the decisions on managing hotels and guest houses in Hikkaduwa.

How does Farmer Preference matter in Crop variety Adoption? The case of Improved Cassava varieties’ Adoption in Ghana

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ghana’s National Agricultural Research Systems have officially released 24 improved cassava varieties, which are high yielding, disease and pest resistant and early maturing. However, adoption of these varieties by mainly smallholder farmers is very low, leading to low yields and incomes. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the development and adoption of improved cassava varieties by assessing the preferences of farmers for cassava variety traits. The study explored Ghanaian cassava producers’ decision-making behaviour towards variety selection and the values they place on different cassava traits. It employed mixed logit and latent class models to estimate the values place on cassava traits, by using choice experiment data of 450 cassava producers from Ghana. Results revealed farmers’ preferences for longevity of root storage in the soil and disease resistance traits of cassava. The latent class model revealed that male youths were more likely to participate in improved varieties that take into account in-soil storage and multiple usages. The need for agricultural research systems to focus on other traits in addition to high yielding and disease resistance in order to boost adoption and increase production is imperative.
