on the decision to adopt drought-tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) and mechanisms&#13;
through which effects occur. We find that social recognition (SR) incentives to a&#13;
random subset of trained farmers – disseminating farmers (DFs) – increase knowledge&#13;
transmission from DFs to their co-villagers and change information networks of both&#13;
DFs and their neighbours. SR also increases DFs’ likelihood of adopting DTMVs.&#13;
However, the corresponding results for private material rewards are not conclusively&#13;
strong. We find no evidence that incentives for knowledge diffusion increase the&#13;
likelihood of co-villagers adopting DTMVs.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Sub-Saharan Africa</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2020-02</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Oxford University Press</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
