Abstract

We explore how farmers adjust their climate adaptation behaviors and participation in agricultural insurance in response to extreme weather events. A random effects model is constructed to clarify the relationships between extreme weather events, agricultural insurance and climate adaptation technologies (CAT). Using survey data from 622 farmers in China, Probit models and instrumental variable analysis show that extreme weather events significantly increase farmers' adoption of CAT and their participation in agricultural insurance. Furthermore, agricultural insurance significantly promotes farmers' adoption of CAT. Agricultural insurance influences the adoption of CAT through both substitutive and complementary effects, the complementary effects are more pronounced. Therefore, we recommended the continued promotion of CAT and agricultural insurance to strengthen farmers' resilience to extreme weather events.

极端天气、农业保险与中国农民气候适应技术的采用

我们探讨了农民在应对极端天气事件时如何调整其气候适应行为和参与农业保险。我们构建了一个随机效应模型来阐明极端天气事件、农业保险和气候适应技术（CAT）之间的关系。利用对中国 622 位农民的调查数据，Probit 模型和工具变量分析表明，极端天气事件显著提高了农民对气候适应技术的采用和农业保险的参与。此外，农业保险也极大地促进了农民对 CAT 的采用。农业保险通过替代效应和互补效应影响农户对 CAT 的采用，其中互补效应更为明显。因此，我们建议继续推广 CAT 和农业保险，以加强农民对极端天气事件的抵御能力。

期刊介绍： Ecological Economics is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature''s household" (ecosystems) and "humanity''s household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.
