农民对无化石矿物氮肥的偏好：价格、气候、生产来源和身份的作用
Farmers' Preferences for Fossil‐Free Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizers: Role of Prices, Climate, Production Origin, and Identity
摘要
Disruptions in global fertilizer markets and climate targets have increased interest in fossil‐free mineral nitrogen fertilizers. This study examines farmers' preferences for conventional (fossil‐based) and fossil‐free fertilizers using a labeled discrete choice experiment with 211 Swedish farmers. Results show that farmers have strong price sensitivity and, on average, are willing to pay a premium for Swedish and European‐produced fertilizers, while the climate attribute plays a smaller role in choices than price and production origin. We identify two segments: a larger group that places strong emphasis on price and Swedish production, and a smaller group characterized by greater price sensitivity. Social and economic identities are associated with preference heterogeneity. Findings suggest that policies promoting fossil‐free fertilizers may receive greater farmer acceptance when aligned with domestic production strategies and targeted price incentives.
中文摘要
全球肥料市场的中断以及气候目标提升了人们对无化石矿物氮肥的关注。本研究采用标记离散选择实验，以211名瑞典农民为对象，考察了农民对常规（基于化石燃料）肥料和无化石肥料的偏好。结果表明，农民具有强烈的价格敏感性，平均而言，他们愿意为瑞典和欧洲生产的肥料支付溢价，而气候属性在选择中的作用小于价格和生产来源。我们识别出两个群体：一个较大的群体高度重视价格和瑞典生产，另一个较小的群体则以更高的价格敏感性为特征。社会和经济身份与偏好异质性相关。研究结果表明，当促进无化石肥料的政策与国内生产战略相一致并辅以有针对性的价格激励时，可能更容易获得农民的接受。
