Spousal Cooperation, Agricultural Technology Adoption, and Diets

Intra-household decision making processes have been shown to matter for a host of developmental outcomes. However, most household decisions result from bargaining and negotitaions between spouses. The negotiations may result in either cooperation or conflict within the household. Spousal cooperatio may emerge as an outcome of negotiations to address collective action problems within the households. Cooperation may lead to information-sharing, pooling of resources and collective investments in the household which may affect agricultural production decisions and household welfare outcomes. Against this background, this study has three objectives. The first objective focuses on how spousal cooperation may affect household diet quality. The second objective looks at how spousal cooperation may imporve adoption of agricultural technological innovations. The last objective examines the drivers of spousal cooperation. The study relies on data from household surveys and lab-in-the-field experiments to be conducted in the West Region of Cameroon
