摘要

本文研究了气候变化对坦桑尼亚农业生产力的影响，重点研究了作为主要粮食作物的玉米和水稻。我们使用了2008/9、2010/11和2012/13年坦桑尼亚国家小组调查(NPS)的数据。研究结果表明，气候变量——温度和降雨——及其对坦桑尼亚农业生产力的冲击具有显著影响。此外，农民的教育似乎可以减少温度冲击对生产力的影响。这些发现意味着需要进行政策干预，以确保农民具备适应气候变化以及使用现代农业技术和投入的能力。

The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Productivity in Tanzania

This paper investigates the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in Tanzania focusing on maize and paddy as the staple food crops. We use Tanzania National Panel Survey (NPS) data for 2008/9, 2010/11, and 2012/13. The results suggest a significant impact of weather variables – temperature and rainfall, and their shocks on agricultural productivity in Tanzania. Also, farmers’ education appears to reduce the impact of temperature shocks on productivity. These findings imply a need for policy intervention to ensure that farmers are equipped for climate change adaptation as well as the use of modern farming technologies and inputs.

期刊介绍： International Economic Journal is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to publishing high-quality papers and sharing original economics research worldwide. We invite theoretical and empirical papers in the broadly-defined development and international economics areas. Papers in other sub-disciplines of economics (e.g., labor, public, money, macro, industrial organizations, health, environment and history) are also welcome if they contain international or cross-national dimensions in their scope and/or implications.
