What Drives Climate Change Adaptation Practices in Smallholder Farmers? Evidence from Potato Farmers in Indonesia

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
The potato is the third most consumed crop globally after rice and wheat, but climate change has often disrupted its production. Therefore, adaptation practices are needed to maintain potato productivity.

An ordered probit analysis of transaction stock prices [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Financial Economics, 1992
We estimate the conditional distribution of trade-to-trade price changes using ordered probit, a statistical model for discrete random variables. This approach recognizes that transaction price changes occur in discrete increments, typically eighths of a dollar, and occur at irregularly-spaced time intervals.

Adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya: do socioeconomic, institutional, and biophysical factors matter?

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Rigorous efforts should be channeled to the current low adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) in sub-Saharan African countries to improve food production.

Driver injury severity: an application of ordered probit models [PDF]

open access: yesAccident Analysis & Prevention, 2002
This paper describes the use of ordered probit models to examine the risk of different injury levels sustained under all crash types, two-vehicle crashes, and single-vehicle crashes. The results suggest that pickups and sport utility vehicles are less safe than passenger cars under single-vehicle crash conditions. In two-vehicle crashes, however, these

Prospects and constraints in smallholder farmers' adoption of multiple soil carbon enhancing practices in Western Kenya

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Most smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are adversely affected by low soil fertility, land degradation and climate change-related shocks such as drought. These problems lead to low productivity and low household income.

Estimation of nested and zero-inflated ordered probit models [PDF]

open access: yesThe Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2018
We introduce three new commands—nop, ziop2, and ziop3—for the estimation of a three-part nested ordered probit model, the two-part zero-inflated ordered probit models of Harris and Zhao (2007, Journal of Econometrics 141: 1073–1099) and Brooks, Harris, and Spencer (2012, Economics Letters 117: 683–686), and a three-part zero-inflated ordered probit ...

Forest depletion in Ghana: the empirical evidence and associated driver intensities [PDF]

open access: yesForestry Economics Review, 2020
Purpose – This study seeks to provide a robust piece of evidence of forest depletion in Ghana and its associated driver intensities to inform national policy decisions towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 and beyond. Design/methodology/

Exploring injury severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes at intersections: unbalanced panel mixed ordered probit model

open access: yesEuropean Transport Research Review, 2021
Although the pedestrian deaths have been declining in recent years, the pedestrian-vehicle death rate in Croatia is still pretty high. This study intended to explore the injury severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes with panel mixed ordered probit model ...

Application of Dynamic Spatial Ordered Probit Model [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009
Although a wide variety of transportation data sets involve discrete values scattered across space and time, there are currently few techniques for properly analyzing such data. This paper describes a new dynamic spatial ordered probit (DSOP) model and demonstrates the model's use in a case of ozone concentration categories.

Bayesian Approach to Zero-Inflated Bivariate Ordered Probit Regression Model, with an Application to Tobacco Use

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2012
This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of bivariate ordered probit regression model with excess of zeros. Specifically, in the context of joint modeling of two ordered outcomes, we develop zero-inflated bivariate ordered probit model and carry out ...
