Abstract

There are no conclusions yet on the best adaptation policies affecting agricultural GDP. Based on the statistics and questionnaire survey for Yutian County and using a combination of vector cointegration the article aims to reveal the effects of three main external adaptation policies, including the improved varieties, water-saving irrigation and the grazing prohibition, on agricultural GDP growth in arid areas. The results are as follows. 1) Every 1% increase in adaptation investment of improved variety, water-saving irrigation and grazing prohibition will explain the agricultural GDP growth of 0.78%, 0.52%, and 0.27%, respectively. 2) The improved variety‘s influence on agricultural GDP keeps increasing and eventually reaches about 14%. 3) About 18% of agricultural GDP growth can be reported by the adaption investment in water-saving irrigation, which means that improving capacity of the water irrigation is still the most important and direct means to stimulating the GDP growth in Yutian County. Adaption investments in water-saving irrigation have greater influences on the variation of the improved variety, which means the latter passively adapt to the former. The recursive test results indicate that our conclusions are robust. Our research has showed that actively external policies help to improve the climate adaptation in the arid areas and increase the agricultural GDP.
