摘要: 了解连续务农农户的特征及其稳定参与农业保险的影响因素,有助于探究我国农户连续开展农业生产以及参与农业保险的内在驱动力,有助于理解农业生产和保险两者间协同持续发展的基础。基于2007-2010年湖南省匡家桥村连续四年的定点农户级样本数据,使用非参数检验确定连续务农农户特征,并结合探索性因子分析构建结构方程模型,以农户社会经济特征为主要考虑对象,探究现行农业保险制度下,农户稳定参保行为的影响因素。结果表明,资本、化学品投入两因子显著正向影响农户是否稳定参保,而经验因子显著负向影响农户的稳定参保行为。三个显著的因子中,化学品投入具有更大的影响作用,其影响系数是资本因子的1.5倍,经验因子的1.4倍。此外,经验因子和资本因子中劳动力资本相关的特征变量对农户连续务农和稳定参保行为的影响方向一致,具有同向性。Abstract: Exploring the characteristics of continuous farming households and factors affecting their stable participation in agriculture insurance can help understand the farmers’ internal driving force in both agricultural production and agriculture insurance participation which sets the basis of the synergistic development of these two aspects. With a consecutive 4-year farmer household sample, non-parametric test is used to reveal the characteristics of continuous farming households. Focusing on farm households’ socio-economic characteristics, then a structural equation model (SEM) combined with exploratory factor analysis is used to identify the factors linked to the stable behavior of agriculture insurance participation under the current agriculture insurance system of China. The results show that the factors of capitals, chemical usage have significant positive relationship with farmers’ continuous insurance behavior and experience factor is significantly negative related to it. Among these three significant factors, chemical usage plays a dominant role for its coefficient is one and a half times capital factor and 1.4 times experience factor. Moreover, variables in experience and labor related capital factors show consistent effects on both behaviors of continuous farming and stable participation in agriculture insurance.
