转基因作物是目前国内外争论激烈的话题之一.过去许多有关公众对转基因产品的态度研究主要关注消费者的接受程度,而从生产者角度研究农户种植转基因作物的意愿及影响因素的相对较少.本研究基于对黑龙江、吉林、山东、河南和福建五省723个农户的实地调查数据,就转基因抗虫品种和抗病品种两个方面,以玉米和水稻为例,从农户主观态度角度出发分析了农户对转基因作物的接受程度和种植意愿,运用计量经济模型分析了影响农户种植意愿的因素及影响程度,并对研究结果和含义做了讨论.
Genetically modified (GM) crop is one of the most debated topics in China as well as in the rest ofworld. Previous studies on public attitudes toward GM crops mainly focused on consumers, little information is a-vailable on farmers'willingness to adopt GM crops and the factors affecting their attitudes. Based on the datafrom 723 households in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shandong, Henan and Fujian provinces and using GM rice andmaize as examples, this study analyzes farmers'acceptance and their willingness to adopt GM technology throughtheir subjective attitudes towards transgenic insect and disease-resistant varieties, econometrically estimates majorfactors affecting the farmers'willingness to adopt GM crops, and concludes the study with implications to GMcrop commercialization.
