However, there had been limited concern over the climate changes in business/economics literature in Taiwan, until the catastrophic damages by Typhoon Morakot in 2009. Given that the farmers' associations are not only the most important rural small and medium enterprises in Taiwan, but the ones that also provide vital links between the government, research institutions, and farmers, their sensing ability to a climate change should increase the effeciency of the response to the climate change and its impacts. The aim of this study is to examine how the level of sensing the climate changes affects the urgency of responding to the measures adaptive to climate variability among the farmers' association employees. Using the nationwide survey within the farmers' associations in Taiwan and the fixed-effect model, the authors have found the compelling evidence that sensing the current climate changes significantly increases the urgency of responding to the measures adaptive to climate variability. In addition, the employees of farmers' associations located in the previous typhoon disaster area show more sensing ability on the urgency of responding than their counterparts in other areas. © Pei-An Liao, Jiun-Hao Wang, Chen-Yen Yao, 2014. |
