The objective of the paper is to model the degree of organic farming adoption as well as the importance of technical information acquisition in the adoption decision process. In doing so, a trivariate ordered probit model is specified and implemented in the case of organic farming adoption in...

This paper develops a tractable theoretical framework for analyzing the substitutability between different advertising media, the extent of marketing spillovers in the market, the allocative efficiency of advertising spending, and the sources of total advertising productivity and sales growth....

Due to the assumption that the best practice methods refer to each input separately instead of the whole set of inputs used by a firm, the benchmark technology as defined in the stochastic varying coefficient frontier model may be infeasible and theoretically improper whenever the maximum...

This paper presents findings from my PhD research project titled �Exchange networks and parallel currencies: Theoretical approaches and the case of Greece�, which aimed to investigate the initiatives and schemes whose members transact among...

This paper stems from cases I have witnessed and studied during my PhD research on exchange networks, parallel currencies and free bazaars in Greece. To my great disappointment and amazement, I realised that the mainstream theories of value (subjective and objective/labour theories of value)...

The present study aims to empirically analyze the competing effects of social interactions and conversion subsidies on the adoption of organic farming practices for two samples of olive and cereal growers in Greece and Germany, respectively. To this end we construct two alternative indicators to...
