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