However, system technologies are often location specific and characterized by partial adoption and disadoption. Previous studies were often not able to fully explain this, because they mostly relied on farm and household level data, neglecting plot level differences that may be important. We address this limitation, using SRI adoption in Timor Leste as an example. Regression models are specified and estimated to explain the farmers’ decision-making processes. Participation in training programs and household labor availability increase the probability and intensity of adoption, as SRI is knowledge and labor intensive. However, many other household variables are not significant, while plot level characteristics, such as proximity to the homestead, water control capacity, slope, and soil conditions, have more explanatory power. The results suggest that plot level data are important to understand the adoption of system technologies. Moreover, technology adaptation to different plot conditions seems to be a precondition for widespread diffusion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.agsy.2012.01.003"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150251"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6994"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0308-521X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.subject","Technology adoption; Double-hurdle model; System of rice intensification (SRI); Timor Leste"],["dc.title","Understanding the adoption of system technologies in smallholder agriculture: The system of rice intensification (SRI) in Timor Leste"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Yet, the benefits of NRM technologies for farmers are often debated. Impacts seem to be context-specific, which are especially relevant in the small farm sector with its large degree of agroecological and socioeconomic heterogeneity. This was not always considered in previous research. We analyze the impacts of SRI adoption on rice yield and household income among smallholder farmers in Timor Leste. Heterogeneity is accounted for in an endogenous switching regression framework. Comparing mean yield and income levels, we find no significant differences between SRI adopters and non-adopters. This is due to negative selection bias; SRI seems to be adopted more on plots and by farmers with less than average yields. Controlling for this bias reveals significant yield and income gains. Poor and non-poor households benefit from SRI adoption; small farms benefit more than larger farms. The results also suggest that in the context of Timor Leste SRI may not be beneficial when compared to conventional rice grown under favorable conditions. Some implications for future research are discussed."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ecolecon.2012.10.009"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150248"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6991"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.relation.issn","0921-8009"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.title","Impacts of natural resource management technologies on agricultural yield and household income: The system of rice intensification in Timor Leste"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
