AN EX ANTE ADOPTION MODEL OF BOVINE SOMATOTROPIN BY CALIFORNIA MILK PRODUCERS

A multinomial logit model is estimated with survey data from California milk producers to test hypotheses of factors affecting adoption of bovine somatotropin. The model is used to forecast adoption rates and to derive implications of adoption patterns on the structure of the California dairy industry.
