Does Adaptation to Climate Change Provide Food Security? A Micro‐Perspective from Ethiopia
研究了埃塞俄比亚农户适应气候变化的驱动因素及其对粮食生产率的影响，发现信贷、推广和信息获取是主要驱动因素，适应措施提高了粮食生产率，且未适应的农户受益最大。
We examine the driving forces behind farm households’ decisions to adapt to climate change, and the impact of adaptation on farm households’ food productivity. We estimate a simultaneous equations model with endogenous switching to account for the heterogeneity in the decision to adapt or not, and for unobservable characteristics of farmers and their farm. Access to credit, extension and information are found to be the main drivers behind adaptation. We find that adaptation increases food productivity, that the farm households that did not adapt would benefit the most from adaptation.
