摘要：This paper studied the impact of agricultural subsidies and product certification on the use rate of green pesticides based on experimental economics.We found that agricultural subsidies effectively increased the utilization rate of green pesticides.If the agricultural subsidies were raised from 20% to 100%,the green pesticide use rate increased by 440.51%.The increase of agricultural subsidies was more effective than product certification.Under a higher proportion of agricultural subsidies,farmers’ behavior maintained a “status bias”.Based on our findings,we propose three suggestions.First,due to the high price of green pesticides and lower production,the subsidies for agricultural materials should be raised greatly to effectively improve the utilization rate of green pesticides.We recommend that green pesticides be provided free of charge in wealthy areas.Secondly,both subsidies and product certification can improve the use rate of green pesticides.However,the effect of agricultural subsidies is stronger than product certification,and farmers may have a status bias.Therefore,we recommend first giving priority to a substantial increase on the proportion of agricultural subsidies,and then improving product certification.
