Assessing the Impact of Weather Risk on Land Use Intensity: A Nonstationary and Dynamic Panel Modeling Approach
利用印度42年区级面板数据，采用非平稳和动态面板估计方法，发现天气风险在短期内对土地利用强度有负面影响，而高产作物比例和灌溉面积比例有正面影响，且市场改革后天气风险的影响减弱。
Climatic variation, or weather risk, plays an important role in production agriculture. Using district-level panels for 42 years from India and nonstationary and dynamic panel estimation procedures, we estimate the impact of weather risk on land use intensity. Our results suggest the impact of weather risk on land use intensity is negative in the short run. Additionally, we find a positive effect of share of high yielding varieties production and share of irrigated acreage on land use intensity. Our study also indicates that the impact of weather risk on land use intensity has diminished in the post–market reform period (after 1990). <i></i>
