      abstract = {This paper examines the determinants of farmers’  willingness-to-accept (WTA) in a hypothetical payment  scheme for the adoption of stone and soil bunds in northern  Ghana using contingent valuation data from 305 farm  households. Bayesian estimation of the interval-data  regression model is employed to obtain farmers’ WTA and its  determinants. Besides farmer and household characteristics,  farm characteristics and socioeconomic and institutional  variables such as soil fertility and previous participation  in conservation projects increase and decrease  willingness-to-accept respectively. The results suggest  that costs of soil and water conservation payment schemes  may be significantly decreased by careful targeting of  households more ready to accept compensation.},
