Abstract

This presentation describes research conducted as part of SANREM's work in the Central Plateau of Haiti. A household survey was conducted, and the data was used to determine the drivers, intensity, and value of adoption. Probit models examine plot-level adoption, Tobit models explore adoption intensity, and a Cobb-Douglass production function is used to show value.
