基于指数的保险(IBI)是一种创新的有利于穷人的气候风险管理战略,但使用率较低。关于行为障碍在IBI采用中的作用的证据很少。我们对埃塞俄比亚1139名小农进行了实验室现场实验,其中596名小农采用了IBI,以引出他们的风险和模糊规避行为,并研究风险和/或模糊规避是否可以解释实际的IBI采用决策。我们的研究表明,风险厌恶的增加增加了IBI的吸收,但模糊性厌恶的增加降低了IBI的吸收。我们还发现证据表明,风险厌恶的增加加速了IBI的采用,而模糊厌恶的增加延迟了IBI的采用。
Index-based insurance (IBI) is an innovative pro-poor climate risk management strategy that suffers from low uptake. Evidence on the role of behavioral impediments in adoption of IBI is scant. We conducted lab-in-the-field experiments with 1139 smallholders out of whom 596 have adopted IBI in Ethiopia to elicit their risk and ambiguity aversion behavior, and examine whether risk and/or ambiguity aversion can explain actual IBI uptake decisions. Our study suggests that an increase in risk-aversion increases uptake, but an increase in ambiguity-aversion lowers uptake of IBI. We also find evidence that an increase in risk aversion speeds-up the uptake of IBI, while an increase in ambiguity aversion delays the adoption of IBI.
