Abstract

the aim of the paper is to describe the consequences of reciprocity and exchange mechanisms on the adoption or rejection of innovation in LDCs. To this effect, we propose a formal analysis based on new institutional economics and theory of conventions. More precisely, our objective is to show how a local convention of solidarity, namely the fihavanana, can dissuade adoption of innovative techniques since it assumes the shifting of risks induced by these techniques from the innovator to the whole community. Assumptions rely on statistical data and interviews collected in a rural community in Madagascar.
