As seed varieties continue to become increasingly differentiated, preferences for specific seed traits may be expected to impart significant effects on farmer demand for new seeds. This paper proposes a model of technology adoption that integrates demand for traits of new technologies with the potential for heterogeneity based on farm and farmer characteristics. The model is applied to recent GM corn adoption data from Minnesota and Wisconsin farmers, and uses conditional logit and mixed multinomial logit econometric models to estimate the effects of traits and farm and farmer characteristics on adoption outcomes. 000201525 650__ $$aFood Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety 000201525 650__ $$aResearch and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies 000201525 700__ $$aUseche, Pilar 000201525 700__ $$aBarham, Bradford 000201525 700__ $$aFoltz, Jeremy 000201525 8564_ $$99a2427b5-53c0-44e7-ad63-173777b1a115$$s341385$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/201525/files/WP2006-06.pdf 000201525 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/201525 000201525 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:201525$$pGLOBAL_SET 000201525 912__ $$nSubmitted by Abigail Porter (porte542@umn.edu) on 2015-04-13T18:16:03Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WP2006-06.pdf: 341385 bytes, checksum: 23ff1ee8692fc2453ef7895d9163f93a (MD5) 000201525 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-04-13T18:16:03Z (GMT).
