摘要

弱势家庭往往是提高抗灾能力的努力目标，他们很可能对自己控制结果的能力抱有信念，这使他们不太可能投资于新技术。控制感是激发这些信念的一种方法，有助于确定在广泛采用新技术之前需要额外支持的人群。本文介绍了莫桑比克和坦桑尼亚大量玉米生产家庭样本的证据。外部控制力越强，改良玉米品种的预期收益就越低，采用改良玉米品种的概率就越小。

The farmer and the fates: Locus of control and investment in rainfed agriculture

Vulnerable households, often the target for efforts to increase resilience, likely hold beliefs about their ability to control outcomes that make them less likely to invest in new technologies. Locus of control provides one way to elicit these beliefs and can help identify populations requiring additional support prior to widespread adoption of new technologies. This paper presents evidence from a large sample of maize-producing households in Mozambique and Tanzania. A more external locus of control is strongly associated with lower expected returns to improved maize varieties and a reduced probability of their adoption.
