| dcterms.abstract | This paper analyses the impact of adaptation to climate change on bean productivity on a micro-scale using instrumental variable techniques in a two-stage econometric model, using data collected from farming households in northern and central Uganda. We employed the bivariate probit technique to model simultaneous and interdependent adoption decisions, and the ordered probit to model the intensity of adaptation. We modelled the impact of adaptation using instrumental variables and the control function approach because of the potential endogeneity of the adaptation decision. The driving forces behind adoption of the two selected adaptation strategies were heterogeneous. Location-specific factors influenced the intensity of adaptation between the two study regions. The effect of adaptation was stronger for households that used a higher number of strategies, evidence that the two adaptation strategies need to be used simultaneously by farmers to maximise the positive impact of adaptation. | en |
