Abstract

Extreme disasters caused by global climate change have increased the instability of agricultural production in China. In response to these weather hazards, adverse shocks and foregone opportunities for profitability will lead to large fluctuations in agricultural household capital and consumption if insurance markets are inadequate, and it is necessary to study the effect of weather insurance. This paper uses a natural experiment to analyze the impact of an agricultural weather insurance program on household production and saving behavior. The empirical methods are difference-in-difference and triple-difference methods. The results show that the provision of weather insurance effectively promotes household production and also affects the increase in the household savings rate.
