Includes bibliographical references (p. [224]-241) and index. Theoretical approaches to rational behaviour -- A positive model of bounded rationality : from the theoretical approaches to analytical model -- Research design -- The empirical setting : agriculture and environmental regulation -- Fertiliser application around optimal norms : effect of decision environment -- Information shortcuts and rules of thumb : how farmers make decisions on fertilisers -- Optimising or satisficing : when and what. Challenging standard economic models, this title shows how farmers tend to use cognitive shortcuts in their decision-making and how their professional pride frequently outweights profit considerations. |
