Working Paper 115<\/h2>\n

Abstract<\/h3>\n

The paper analyses the impact of climate change and local social networks on farmers’ soil conservation behaviour in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Farm household level panel data with multiple plots combined with climate data from the adjacent meteorological stations, interpolated at a household level, are employed in the analysis.<\/p>\n

The extent to which local social networks contribute to soil conservation investment in the presence of climate change is assessed using multivariate probit and poison estimation methods.<\/p>\n

In light of similar previous studies, the major contributions of the paper are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the use of wide ranging social capital measures, and<\/li>\n
  2. the availability of different soil conservation structures in multiple plots within the same household.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The results show that climate change is a significant determinant of soil conservation investment. In addition, the relationship between local social networks and soil conservation is context specific.<\/p>\n
