Correction: Zhang et al. Ecological Compensation Standard for Pesticide-Reduction Behavior of Chinese Vegetable Growers—Based on the Contingent Valuation Method and Heckman Two-Stage Model. Sustainability 2026, 18, 3626

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

Add symbols ρσ to Formula (5) and an explanation:

$$Y_i=X_{2i}{\gamma }_0+{\rho \sigma \lambda }_i+{\epsilon }_i+q$$

(5)

In the above formula,

$Y_i$ = expected compensation level for grower i’s pesticide-reduction behavior;

$X_{2i}$ = vector of explanatory variables in the second-stage OLS regression;

${\gamma }_0$ = column vector of coefficients to be estimated;

ρ = correlation coefficient of the two-stage error term;

σ = standard deviation of the error term in the result equation;

${\lambda }_i$ = Inverse Mills Ratio (IMR) correction term;

${\epsilon }_i$ = independent error term;

q = constant term.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
