Abstract

This study aims to understand how Rwandan farmers value the improved characteristics of climate services introduced to them in a choice experiment setting. Data were collected from 1,525 household heads in November 2019. A random parameters logit model was used to analyze the data. Results suggest that Rwandan farmers value forecast accuracy, dissemination through a combination of extension agents and the Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture process, and bundling with market price information. This study suggests that to improve agricultural management planning and food security of farmers through the provision of climate services, these services need to be accurate, user-tailored, and accessible.

模拟卢旺达农民为改善气候服务付费的偏好和意愿

本研究旨在了解卢旺达农民如何评价在选择性实验环境中向他们介绍的气候服务的改进特性。2019年11月，从1525户户主那里收集了数据。采用随机参数logit模型对数据进行分析。结果表明，卢旺达农民重视预测的准确性，通过推广机构和参与式农业综合气候服务过程的结合传播，以及与市场价格信息捆绑在一起。这项研究表明，要通过提供气候服务来改善农业管理规划和农民的粮食安全，这些服务需要准确、适合用户并易于获取。

期刊介绍： Environment and Development Economics is positioned at the intersection of environmental, resource and development economics. The Editor and Associate Editors, supported by a distinguished panel of advisors from around the world, aim to encourage submissions from researchers in the field in both developed and developing countries. The Journal is divided into two main sections, Theory and Applications, which includes regular academic papers and Policy Options, which includes papers that may be of interest to the wider policy community. Environment and Development Economics also publishes occasional Policy Fora (discussions based on a focal paper). From time to time the journal publishes special issues based on a particular theme.
