Abstract

Using unique crop-specific data gathered over 7 years, we study if and how maize-producing farmers in Ethiopia adjust their land allocation decisions in response to pre-planting-season weather variations. We show that farmers adjust their land allocation decisions in response to increased temperatures early in the growing season. In addition to quantifying a substantial adaptation margin that has not been documented before, our study also reveals the presence of a weather variation-induced expansion of maize production into areas that are less suitable for maize cultivation.

埃塞俄比亚早期生长季节天气变化、预期形成和农业用地分配决策

利用7年来收集的独特作物特定数据，我们研究了埃塞俄比亚种植玉米的农民是否以及如何根据种植前季节的天气变化调整土地分配决策。我们的研究表明，农民会根据生长季节早期气温的升高来调整土地分配决策。除了量化以前没有记录的大量适应边际外，我们的研究还揭示了天气变化导致的玉米生产向不适合玉米种植的地区扩张的存在。
