农户水稻新品种选择影响因素的实证分析——基于湖北省的调查数据

通过问卷分析、田野观察和深度访谈等方法对湖北省的稻农进行了实证调查,在借鉴已有研究成果的基础上,建立了二元logit模型,从农户个人特征、家庭特征、生产特征以及外部环境特征4个方面对影响农户水稻新品种选择的因素进行了分析,以期找出影响湖北省稻农对水稻新品种选择的关键性因素。研究结果表明:农户是否采用水稻新品种主要取决于采用新品种的成本和预期收益;农户的年龄、受教育程度、收入以及健康状况等个人、家庭社会经济特征对水稻新品种选择有显著影响,农户水稻种植面积对新品种选择也有显著影响。

Empirical research on influencing factors of the rice farmers choosing new varieties: Based on the statistics of Hubei Province

By engaging the methods of questionnaire survey,the field observation and in-depth interview,this paper made the empirical research on the rice farmers in Hubei province.Based on existing research results,we established a binary logit model to analyze the factors that influence the framers’ choices of new technology from four aspects,namely farmer’s personal characteristics,family characteristics,production characteristics and external environment features.The results indicated that the key factors that influence farmers’ adoption of the new rice variety mainly depend on the cost and expected return of the new technology,and farmer’s personal characteristics,family characteristic such as the age,education level,income and health condition have remarkable effect on the choice of a new technology,the planting area also has significant impact on technological choice.
