Adaptation is a key strategy to mitigate the detrimental effects of climate change on agriculture. Econometric studies are extensively used to account for adaptation within impact assessment, but are generally based on the assumption of fully adapted farms. Building on increasing evidence of potential limitations of adaptation, we develop a conceptual framework which allows us to relax this assumption and empirically analyse climate change adaptation at the farm level. Our findings indicate under-adaptation of Austrian farms, contradicting the assumption of full adaptation. In the context of ongoing climate change, this calls for further development and implementation of effective farm-level adaptation measures.

识别农场对气候变化的适应不足

适应是减轻气候变化对农业不利影响的关键战略。计量经济学研究广泛用于说明影响评估中的适应，但通常基于完全适应农场的假设。基于越来越多的适应潜在局限性的证据，我们开发了一个概念框架，使我们能够放宽这一假设，并在农场层面对气候变化适应进行实证分析。我们的研究结果表明奥地利农场适应不足，这与完全适应的假设相矛盾。在持续的气候变化背景下，这需要进一步制定和实施有效的农场层面的适应措施。
