Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

Logistic Biplots for Ordinal Variables Based on Alternating Gradient Descent on the Cumulative Probabilities, with an Application to Survey Data

open access: yesAlgorithms
Biplot methods provide a framework for the simultaneous graphical representation of both rows and columns of a data matrix. Classical biplots were originally developed for continuous data in conjunction with principal component analysis (PCA).

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Testing Non-Linear Ordinal Responses in L2 × K Tables

open access: yesRuhuna Journal of Science, 2007
In comparative studies responses of two populations are often summarized in stratified 2 × K tables with ordinal categories. A test, called QEt test, is proposed for testing the homogeneity of the populations against non-linear alternatives in such ...
