摘要
This paper presents an estimation scheme that allows individuals to be influenced by neighbors when making discrete choice decisions. The model developed is used to test interdependence in farmers' attitudes toward the adoption of new technologies in Indonesia. Strong neighborhood effects are found and appear to be robust to changes in specification. In addition, the results suggest that failure to control for neighbors' influence may bias estimation of parameters of interest.
