英文文献摘要:
Our study used AFT survey data to analyze the preferences of registered voters with regard to the non-market (mulitifunctional) benefits that agriculture produces jointly with market commodities. Descriptive data analysis demonstrates that the US public considers the multifunctionality of agriculture as an important social issue. Regression models show that geographic regions can be very important in determining people's behavior with respect to the multifunctional benefits of agriculture. Voters living in Central Plains, Mountain, or West were generally less appreciative of the multifunctional benefits of agriculture when compared to those in Northeast region. However, if our study restricts the analysis to those who supported the multifunctionality concept, we have a dramatically different result: i.e., voters in the agriculturally abundant regions are likely to pay a significantly higher amount of additional taxes to support farmers for their supply of various multifunctional benefits to our society. This result suggests that it is important to take into account geographic regions when valuing the multifunctionality of agriculture and that the public's preferences can be quite heterogeneous within a particular geographic region.
我们的研究使用AFT调查数据来分析注册选民对农业与市场商品共同产生的非市场(多功能)利益的偏好。描述性数据分析表明,美国公众认为农业的多功能是一个重要的社会问题。回归模型显示,地理区域在决定人们对农业多功能利益的行为方面非常重要。与东北地区相比,居住在中原、山区或西部的选民通常不那么欣赏农业的多功能好处。然而,如果我们的研究限制分析那些支持多功能性概念,我们有一个截然不同的结果:即农业丰富地区的选民可能会付出更高的额外的税收来支持农民为他们供应各种多功能的好处我们的社会。这一结果表明,在评估农业的多功能性时,考虑地理区域是重要的,而且在一个特定的地理区域内,公众的偏好可能是不同的。
