摘要

摘要本研究采用边际处理效应方法和加纳北部农户水稻调查数据，考察农业技术对农户福利的异质性效应。结果表明，农民采用改良水稻技术所获得的收益存在显著的异质性。我们发现显著的证据表明，采用农业技术对水稻产量和家庭膳食多样性评分(HDDS)的未观察到的收益存在正选择模式。此外，政策相关的治疗效应表明，减少农业技术来源的距离可以通过技术采用提高水稻产量和hds。

Heterogeneous Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption on Smallholder Household Welfare in Ghana

Abstract This study uses a marginal treatment effects approach and farm household rice survey data from Northern Ghana to examine the heterogeneous effects of agricultural technologies on household welfare. Results indicate significant heterogeneity in the gains from the adoption of improved rice technologies among farmers. We found significant evidence of a pattern of positive selection on unobserved gains from the adoption of agricultural technologies on rice yield and household dietary diversity scores (HDDS). Moreover, the policy-relevant treatment effects suggest that reducing the distance to sources of agricultural technologies increases rice yield and HDDS through technology adoption.
