    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;This study examines the farmers" willingness to pay for improved soil conservation practices on&lt;br&gt; communal lands of Kuyu woreda in Ethiopia. The objective of this study is to investigate the&lt;br&gt; farmers" willingness to pay for improved soil conservation practices on communal lands of Kuyu&lt;br&gt; woreda. Both single and double-bounded dichotomous format of contingent valuation method is&lt;br&gt; used to elicit respondents" WTP for improved soil conservation practice in terms of labor&lt;br&gt; contribution. Data collected from 184 household heads were used for analysis. Both the Probit&lt;br&gt; and Bivariate Probit models were estimated. The result of the study indicated that most of the&lt;br&gt; respondents have perceived the problem of soil erosion and are willing to pay for conservation&lt;br&gt; practices. Household characteristics such as sex of household head, education level of the head&lt;br&gt; are significant determinants of farmers" WTP for soil conservation. Farmer"s wealth indictors&lt;br&gt; such as livestock and income were included and found to have a positive and significant&lt;br&gt; influence on the probability of WTP for soil conservation. Variables such as slope of land,&lt;br&gt; perception about soil erosion problem, and the frequency of extension visit have also a positive&lt;br&gt; and significant effect on the WTP for soil conservation. The study also show that the mean&lt;br&gt; willingness to pay estimated from the Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice and open&lt;br&gt; ended formats was 85.36 and 83.22 Labor days per annum, respectively&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
