Gender differences in willingness to pay for capital-intensive agricultural technologies: the case of fish solar tent dryers in Malawi. Agricultural and Food Economics, 6(1), 1.2193-7532http://hdl.handle.net/10625/57130To reduce fish postharvest losses, a fish solar tent dryer (image included) is being promoted along Lake Malawi. This paper analyses gender disparities in fish processors’ conditional willingness to pay (WTP), along with their willingness to pay towards a common or co-owned asset. Women have more endowments associated with a high probability of WTP, such as knowledge of the solar tent dryer, while men have more assets (such as education, selling to distant markets and fishing assets) and are therefore willing and able to pay a higher cost in dollars. Women lack access to income, education, capital, and access to markets.application/pdfenFISH POSTHARVEST LOSSESWILLINGNESS TO PAYCONTINGENT VALUATIONDOUBLE HURDLE MODELMALAWISOUTH OF SAHARAWOMEN'S EMPLOYMENTGENDER ROLESPOSTHARVEST LOSSESMATHEMATICAL MODELSACCESS TO RESOURCESFISHINGSOLAR TENT DRYERSAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
