Abstract

Purpose Considering that food security is a global responsibility, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of agricultural industries on vulnerability to climate change and the moderating effects of gender-diverse parliaments, education expenditures, research and development (R&D) expenditures and foreign direct investment (FDI). Design/methodology/approach Using concepts in governance, innovation and knowledge theory, a large panel data set of 125 countries covering 1997–2018 (1,852 country-year observations) was analyzed. Data were sourced from the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Index, the World Bank, the Heritage Index and the International Monetary Fund. Moderated random effects regression was conducted in Stata. Findings The results reveal that agricultural industries are positively associated with vulnerability to climate change and provide support for our predictions that education expenditures and FDI both reduce the impact of agricultural industries on vulnerability to climate change. However, contrary to predictions, the percentage of women in parliament and R&D expenditures both increase this impact. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first quantitative study that uses large, established data sets to explore the relationship between agricultural industries and country vulnerability to climate change. This study shows the significance of country-level factors that both decrease and increase the impact of agricultural industries on vulnerability to climate change.

确保粮食安全的责任:关于减少农业对易受气候变化影响的跨国研究
目的考虑到粮食安全是一项全球性责任,本研究的目的是研究农业对气候变化脆弱性的影响,以及性别多样性议会、教育支出、研发支出和外国直接投资的调节作用。设计/方法论/方法利用治理、创新和知识理论中的概念,分析了涵盖1997-2008年的125个国家的大型面板数据集(1852个国家年的观测结果)。数据来源于圣母院全球适应指数、世界银行、遗产指数和国际货币基金组织。在Stata中进行了适度随机效应回归。研究结果表明,农业产业与气候变化的脆弱性呈正相关,并为我们的预测提供了支持,即教育支出和外国直接投资都会减少农业产业对气候变化脆弱性的影响。然而,与预测相反,妇女在议会中的比例和研发支出都增加了这种影响。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一项使用大型既定数据集来探索农业产业与国家易受气候变化影响之间关系的定量研究。这项研究表明,国家一级的因素在减少和增加农业对气候变化脆弱性的影响方面具有重要意义。
