Alene et al., 2000; Feder et al., 1985). This can mathematically be presented as follows: I^*=β_0+ β_1 X_1+β_2 X_2+ …….+ β_n X_n+μ_i=f(X_i) (6) Where I is the intensity of the use of the technology, I* is equal to an index reflecting the combined effect of the explanatory variables hindering or promoting the use of the technology, I* is not observable and is recorded as zero for not using the technology. For instances, a study by Kizito and Steve (2009) on…
