| Abstract: | The paper combines panel data techniques with spatial analysis to measure the impact of
extreme weather events on the adoption of conservation tillage. Zellner’s SUR technique
is extended to spatial panel data to correct for cross-sectional heterogeneity, spatial
autocorrelation, and contemporaneous correlation. Panel data allow the identification of
differences in adoption rates. The adoption of no-till, other conservation tillage, and
reduced-till are estimated relative to conventional tillage. Extremely dry conditions in
recent years increase the adoption of other conservation tillage practices, while spring
floods in the year of production reduce the use of no-till practices. |
