摘要

沙尘暴因全球变暖而加剧,不同于空气污染的工业来源,对各种社会经济因素具有重大的有害影响。然而,它们对农业生产和农民采用的适应战略的影响的证据仍然有限。本文估计了沙尘暴对作物产量的影响,并探讨了相关的适应策略。利用2000年至2007年中国冬小麦产区288个县的数据,我们发现由于沙尘暴,中国北方冬小麦产量大幅下降了14.8%。在冬小麦生长季节,沙尘暴每增加一小时,产量就会减少1.4%。家庭层面的数据进一步表明,沙尘暴不仅通过降低作物产量来威胁粮食安全,而且还导致种植面积大幅减少。此外,我们发现农民增加了对肥料和劳动力的投资,作为适应措施,以减轻沙尘暴对作物产量的负面影响。研究结果表明,沙尘暴后及时灌溉,特别是在降水较少的地区,可以有效缓解沙尘暴的不利影响,为减少沙尘暴事件的经济影响提供了有价值的见解。这些发现强调,面对日益增加的沙尘暴风险,需要采取适应性战略来保障农业生产力,为参与农业韧性规划的决策者和利益相关者提供了宝贵的见解。

Impacts of Sandstorms on Wheat Yield in Northern China

Sandstorms, exacerbated by global warming and distinct from industrial sources of air pollution, have significant detrimental effects on various socio-economic factors. However, evidence of their impact on agricultural production and the adaptation strategies employed by farmers remains limited. This paper estimates the impacts of sandstorms on crop yields and examines the associated adaptation strategies. Using data from 288 counties in China's winter wheat production regions spanning 2000 to 2007, we uncover a substantial 14.8% reduction in winter wheat yields in northern China due to sandstorms. Each additional hour of sandstorm during the winter wheat growing season corresponds to a 1.4% decrease in yield. Household-level data further reveal that sandstorms not only threaten food security by reducing crop yields, but also lead to a significant decrease in planted areas. Furthermore, we find that farmers increase their investments in fertilizer and labor as adaptation measures to mitigate the negative impacts of sandstorms on crop yields. Our results suggest that timely irrigation following a sandstorm, especially in areas with less precipitation, can effectively mitigate its adverse effects, offering valuable insights for reducing the economic impact of sandstorm events. These findings underscore the need for adaptive strategies to safeguard agricultural productivity in the face of increasing sandstorm risks, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders engaged in agricultural resilience planning.

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Agricultural Economics provides a forum for creative and scholarly work on the economics of agriculture and food, natural resources and the environment, and rural and community development throughout the world. Papers should relate to one of these areas, should have a problem orientation, and should demonstrate originality and innovation in analysis, methods, or application. Analyses of problems pertinent to research, extension, and teaching are equally encouraged, as is interdisciplinary research with a significant economic component. Review articles that offer a comprehensive and insightful survey of a relevant subject, consistent with the scope of the Journal as discussed above, will also be considered. All articles published, regardless of their nature, will be held to the same set of scholarly standards.
