Abstract
Este estudo objetiva identificar as variáveis que influenciam as escolhas inovativas e de aprendizagem dos fruticultores localizados nas seis regiões cearenses irrigadas produtoras de frutas. Para tal, empregou-se o modelo de regressão quantílica, que permite captar os efeitos desses determinantes ao longo de pontos distintos das tribuição condicional dos índices de inovação tecnológica e de aprendizagem e não somente na média. Foram utilizados dados primários coletados diretamente com 150 fruticultores. Os resultados mostraram que a escolaridade é uma variável relevante na explicação das diferenças de inovações tecnológicas e de fontes de informação para promoção do aprendizado da atividade frutícola em todos os quantis estimados. A assistência técnica também apresentou efeito positivo sobre as escolhas inovativas ao longo da distribuição. Ademais, as variáveis dummies regionais Baixo Acaraú e Ibiapaba indicaram diferencial de inovação tecnológica e de aprendizagem em relação à variável Metropolitana apenas nos quantis inferiores.
This study aims to identify the variables that influence the innovative and learning choices of the fruit farmers located in the six regions of the State of Ceará dedicated to fruit farming. In order to do that, it was employed the quantile regression model, that enables to observe the effects of these determinants along distinct points of the conditional distribution of the technological innovation and learning indexes and not only along the average. It was used primary data collected directly from 150 fruit farmers. Results showed that schooling level is a relevant variable in explaining differences in technological innovations and information sources for the promotion of learning of the fruit farming activity in all estimated amounts. Technical assistance also displayed positive effect on the innovative choices throughout the distribution. In addition, the regional dummies variables Baixo Acaraú and Ibiapaba indicated differential of technological innovation and learning in relation to the variable Metropolitan only on the inferior amounts.
