  • Florkowski, Wojciech J.

Abstract

A random utility model is applied to examine growers' decision to expand blueberry orchards. A logit decision model is estimated using survey data from Georgia commercial growers. Results indicate the importance of credit and water availability for the expansion decision. Effects of demographics and income on the expansion decision were simulated.
