Intergenerational Behavioral Transmission, Neighborhood Effects, and Farmers’ Farmland Quality Protection Behavior: A Case Study of Fertilizer Application in Gansu, China by Hao Li, Jiahui Zhao, Wei-Yew Chang, Yiwa Fu

“…Economically optimal fertilizer usage was calculated using the Cobb–Douglas production function, with hierarchical regression models and instrumental variable methods employed for analysis. Our findings reveal the following: (1) The Cobb–Douglas production function indicates that 74.1% of farmers apply more fertilizer than the economically optimal amount. (2) Effective intergenerational behavioral transmission and positive neighborhood effects significantly promote farmers’ adoption of reduced fertilizer application practices, with neighborhood effects further enhancing the effects of intergenerational behavioral transmission. (3) Stronger neighborhood effects not only enhance the positive impact of effective intergenerational behavioral transmission but also mitigate the negative impact of ineffective transmission. …”
