Abstract

The adoption parameters of drip irrigation in cotton growing in the collective farms sector (kibbutzim) in Israel are estimated. The classical logistic function is perfectly retrieved. The estimated parameters are then explained by a variable that represents profitability, the change in yield. In spite of the small number of data points it again appears that profitability is the major explanatory variable for the adoption of a new technology. A hypothesis of dynamic ceiling is described and estimates are drawn.
