Abstract
Duration Analysis, which allows the timing of an event to be explored in a dynamic
framework, is used to model the adoption of organic horticultural technology in
the UK. The influence of a range of economic and non-economic determinants is
explored using discrete time models. The empirical results highlight the importance
of gender, attitudes to the environment and information networks, as well as systematic
effects that influence the adoption decision over the lifetime of the producer
and over the survey period.
