Agricultural Insurance Effects on the Resilience of Agricultural Industry in China

Research Hypothesis and Methodology
This study hypothesizes that agricultural insurance significantly enhances the resilience of the agricultural industry chain (RAIC). We constructed the RAIC index using the entropy weight method (EWM) based on 15 indicators, including the effective irrigation rate. Notably, indicators 4-7 negatively impacted resilience, while others exhibited positive effects. Subsequent empirical analysis examines the relationship between RAIC and agricultural insurance development (DAI) alongside control variables.
