Highlights
While we agree with many of her suggestions, we wish to respond to three main points: (a) the measurement and relevance of the instruments, (b) the exogeneity of instruments and interpretation of results, and (c) the interpretation of behavioral adjustment effects
The instruments we used in this analysis were directly elicited from farmers
We only reported the attenuation bias attributed to exogenous misclassification
Summary
The instruments we used in this analysis (i.e., the adoption status of friends and neighbors) were directly elicited from farmers. “Estimating the Productivity Impacts of Technology Adoption in the Presence of Misclassification”—Author Response to Comment While we agree with many of her suggestions, we wish to respond to three main points: (a) the measurement and relevance of the instruments, (b) the exogeneity of instruments and interpretation of results, and (c) the interpretation of behavioral adjustment effects. Given farmers’ misclassification of their own varieties, their response on the adoption status of other farmers must contain at least as much error, making the instruments imperfect.
