本文的目标是了解风险偏好和其他因素如何影响农民参与碳抵消市场的决定。为了达到这一目标，我们探讨了当前研究中正在考虑的一个重要问题：实验室实验结果应该如何应用于实地或现实世界设置？我们探索了实验室和现实世界之间的差距，在实验室设置中包括了背景风险，并从标准的学生群体和非标准的农民群体中抽取被试。

结果表明，如果使用组间设计，我们的实验设计可以用来理解背景风险对风险偏好的影响。此外，有证据表明，农民的风险厌恶程度略高于学生。考虑到农业的固有风险，这是发现是有趣的。

This paper moves toward a goal of understanding how risk preferences and other factors influence a farmer's decision to participate in a carbon offset market. In order to approach this goal, we explored an important question being considered in current research: How should experimental results from laboratory sessions be applied to the field or real world settings?. We explored the gap between the lab and the real world by including background risk in a laboratory setting and drawing subjects from both a standard student population and a nonstandard farmer population.

The results suggest that our experimental design could be used to understand the impact of background risk on risk preferences if a between design were used. Further, there is suggestive evidence that farmers are slightly more risk averse than students. This is interesting considering the inherent risk in the agricultural industry.
