摘要:
我们使用来自八个省份的主要农作物生产数据来测试农作物保险参与如何影响中国农药使用强度。我们选择的识别方法以村级宣传活动强度作为农民参保决策的工具变量并控制了省份固定效应。我们发现参与农作物保险显着减少了农药使用强度。对于较小的地块、较年长的农民和更厌恶风险的农民,减少效果更大。
Abstract:
We test how crop insurance participation affects the intensity of pesticide use in China using data on staple crop production from eight provinces. Our preferred specification instruments farmers' decisions of participation in insurance by village-level intensities of promotional activities and controls for province fixed effects. We find crop insurance participation significantly reduces pesticide use intensity. The reduction effect is greater for smaller plots, older farmers, and farmers who are more risk averse.
