This paper examines the role of international technical assistance in building the institutions critical to the success of market reform in the Transition Economies.

We study the demand by organic farmers for technical advice using a quantile regression for the demand of organic farmers for consultations with private information providers.

Internet use has a positive marginal effect on visits to private information providers across each quantile, suggesting that expanded efforts to deliver programs through web-based resources are a useful investment for information providers. |
