自中国加入世贸组织以来，中国一直主张将政府对农作物保险的补贴作为支持农业生产增长和农民收入的一种政策选择。然而，由于作物保险计划可能会对环境产生负面影响，人们提出了警告。本研究试图以农户资料为基础，利用一个由分散投入模型组成的联立方程系统，探讨农户在农用化学品使用方面的行为。研究发现，化肥、农药和地膜的使用决策对作物保险的参保率有不同的影响，并以不同的方式受到后者的影响。它还暗示，在目前的低保费和低赔偿条件下，鼓励农民参加作物保险并不会对环境产生重大负面影响。
Government subsidy to crop insurance has been advocated as a policy alternative to support growth of agricultural production and farmers' income in China since the country joined the WTO. However, cautions have been raised as the crop insurance program may impact the environment negatively. This study tries to explore farmers' behaviors with regard to agrochemical use with household data applied to a simultaneous equation system consisting of disaggregated input models. It is found that decisions on fertilizer, pesticides, and agro-film applications do have different impacts on crop insurance participation, and are influenced by the latter in different ways. It is also implied that encouraging farmers' participation in crop insurance under current low-premium and low-indemnity terms does not have a significantly negative impact on the environment.
