ABSTRACT

This study relies on a triple-hurdle model to estimate the factors that determine farmers’ decision to participate in a peer dissemination project and then share the knowledge gained with other farmers. The first hurdle estimates show that proximity, income and social contacts determine participation. The second hurdle estimates further show that access to information, being a male and farming experience have positive effects on facilitating a higher level of participation. Estimates of the final hurdle suggest that geographical location plays a role in determining the number of farmers that participants of a peer dissemination project can contact.

推动农业信息同行传播的因素：来自加纳北部的证据

摘要

本研究依赖于三重障碍模型来估计决定农民参与同行传播项目的决定的因素，然后与其他农民分享所获得的知识。第一个障碍估计表明接近度、收入和社会联系决定了参与度。第二个障碍估计进一步表明，获取信息、作为男性和农业经验对促进更高水平的参与具有积极影响。对最后一个障碍的估计表明，地理位置在确定同行传播项目参与者可以联系的农民数量方面发挥着作用。
