项目摘要

The final goal of this research is to improve farmers’ uptake of agriculture insurance in developing countries. The initial research plan focuses on intervention related to timings of premium payments. In real implementation, I have slightly changed the intervention to premium subsidies. I have investigated the long-term direct and spillover effects of subsidies on crop insurance adoption in Vietnam.To attain the research objectives, my research target in the AY2022 was to conduct a baseline survey and first intervention. This target was achieved. I collaborated with Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry (TUAF), CARE International (an NGO), and Women Union to conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with members of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs); a form of autonomous microcredit groups; established by ethnic minority women in Lai Chau province of Vietnam.The baseline and intervention were conducted in April-May and November-December 2022. Preliminary results showed the spillover effect from the full subsidized farmers to other farmers in their network (VSLAs). I have planned to conduct further surveys to explore mechanisms of the spillover effect and investigate the long-term impacts of the subsidies.Preliminary findings of this research were presented at the 62th WRSA Annual Meeting, Asian Economic Development Seminar of Kyoto University, and JADE/GRIPS Development seminar.

这项研究的最终目标是改善农民在发展中国家对农业保险的吸收。最初的研究计划着重于与高级付款时间有关的干预措施。在实际实施中，我将干预措施稍微改变为保费补贴。我已经调查了补贴对越南农作物保险采用的长期直接和间谍作用。为了达到研究目标，我在AY2022中的研究目标是进行基线调查和首次干预。实现了这个目标。我与泰国nguyen农业与林业大学（TUAF），CARE International（一个非政府组织）和妇女工会合作，与乡村储蓄和贷款协会（VSLAS）成员进行了随机对照试验（RCT）；一种自主微循环基团的形式；由越南莱县少数民族妇女建立的。基准和干预措施于4月至5月和2022年11月至12月至12月至12月。初步结果表明，全部补贴农民对其网络中的其他农民（VSLAS）产生了Spilover的影响（VSLAS）。我计划进行进一步的调查，以探索Spilover效应的机制，并研究补贴的长期影响。这项研究的主要发现是在第62届WRSA年度会议，京都大学的亚洲经济发展研讨会上介绍的，以及Jade/Grips开发。
