参与农业技术培训能否促进农户实施绿色生产行为?——基于家庭禀赋视角的ESR模型分析

农业技术培训对农户实施绿色生产行为的影响是推进农村生态环境治理关注的重要问题.基于农户家庭禀赋影响其参与农业技术培训,进而导致其绿色生产行为实施差异的分析思路,利用内生转换回归(ESR)模型和来自湖北省的1063份农户微观调查数据,在构建反事实场景和考虑样本选择偏差的基础上,考察了参与和未参与农业技术培训两种情形下农户实施绿色生产行为的差异.结果表明:(1)参与农业技术培训农户的绿色生产行为实施程度显著高于未参与农业技术培训的农户,且平均处理效应表明,参与农业技术培训可使预期的农户绿色生产行为实施程度提高40.13％;(2)参与农业技术培训对不同类型绿色生产行为的处理效应由大到小依次为化肥减施、节水灌溉、农药减施、农膜回收和秸秆综合利用;(3)无论是否参与农业技术培训,家庭禀赋对农户实施绿色生产行为均有显著影响,但不同类型的家庭禀赋对参与和未参与农业技术培训农户的影响存在差异.此外,家庭禀赋也是影响农户参与农业技术培训的重要因素.政府应积极拓宽农业技术推广渠道,加快转变技术推广方式,兼顾"农业生产"和"生态环境保护"两者,进一步开展环境友好型农业技术培训.

Can Participating in Agricultural Technology Training Promote Farmers to Implement Green Production Behavior?Based on the Analysis of Family Endowment and ESR Model

The impact of agricultural technology training on farmers’ green production behavior is a major concern in terms of promoting the governance of rural ecology and the environment. Based on the analytical framework that farmers’ household endowment affect their participation in agricultural technology training and thus leading to the disparity regarding implementing green production behavior, this paper adopts an endogenous transformation regression (ESR) model which accounts for the sample selection bias to investigate the disparity regarding farmers’ implementation of green production behavior under the two situations of participation and non-participation in agricultural technology training by constructing a counterfactual scenario and using a micro-survey data of 1063 households from Hubei province. The results show that: (1) The degree of implementation of green production behavior of farmers participating in agricultural technology is significantly higher than that of farmers not participating, and the average treatment effect shows that participation in agricultural technology training can improve the expected degree of implementation of green production behavior by 40.13%. (2) The treatment effects of participating in agricultural technology training on different types of green production behavior are fertilizer reduction, water-saving irrigation, pesticide reduction, agricultural film recovery and straw comprehensive utilization, from large to small. (3) Whether or not participating in agricultural technology training, farmers’ household endowment have a significant impact on their implementation of green production behavior, but different types of endowment have different effect for those farmers who participate in the agricultural technology training or not. Furthermore, the household endowment also plays an important role in farmers’ participation in agricultural technology training. The government should actively expand the channels for agricultural technology promotion and accelerate the transformation of technology promotion mode meanwhile taking into account both “agricultural production” and “ecological and environmental protection”, and further carry out environmental-friendly agricultural technology training.
