A Principal-Agent Model For Regional Pest Control Adoption

Author

  • Ahouissoussi, Nicolas B.C.

Abstract

Investigating the underlying producer characteristics associated with regional pest control adoption revealed an interesting proposition. Early adopting producers of firm-specific techniques with characteristics including higher education, more specialized operations, and larger sized business units are dissatisfied with a regional pest control technique. This study provides an explanation of the proposition based on a principal-agent model. Empirical support for the proposition is also presented by developing a multinomial logit model for predicting producers' dissatisfaction with boll weevil eradication.
