英文文献摘要：
Despite recent traces of economic growth, Ethiopia remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Though about 80% of its population is engaged in agriculture, agricultural productivity remains low and extremely vulnerable to climatic conditions. The adoption and use of modern technologies is generally accepted as a potential vehicle out of poverty for many but adoption rates in the country remain low with the nature of the adoption process largely unstudied (Spielman et al, 2007). This paper studies the impact of social networks in the technology adoption process in rural Ethiopia. In particular it tests for the presence of social learning effects. In addition to geographic networks, it considers the role played by other networks with more purposeful interactions such as a household’s friends. The study explores the differential impacts of social networks by network type, technology and the asset poverty status of households.
尽管最近有经济增长的迹象，埃塞俄比亚仍然是世界上最贫穷的国家之一。虽然约80%的人口从事农业，但农业生产率仍然很低，而且极易受到气候条件的影响。对许多人来说，现代技术的采用和使用被普遍认为是摆脱贫困的潜在手段，但该国的采用率仍然很低，因为采用率过程的性质基本上没有得到研究(Spielman et al, 2007)。本文研究了社会网络在埃塞俄比亚农村技术采用过程中的影响。特别地，它测试社会学习效应的存在。除了地理网络，它还考虑了其他网络所扮演的角色，这些网络具有更明确的互动目的，比如一个家庭的朋友。本研究探讨了网络类型、技术和家庭资产贫困状况对社会网络的不同影响。
