Resumen
Descripción
In this paper, we reconsider the appropriateness of certain statistical analyses in innovation adoption studies and suggest
that partial observability models may sometimes be more useful. The proposed models allow for a flexible specification of
the process of adoption from one stage to two stages, facilitate the modelling of non-adopters and remedy the violation of
the assumption of full information. An application to the adoption of organic cultivation in Greece demonstrates the relative
merits of the proposed analysis.
