?:abstract
  • This study assesses the role that access to credit plays in determining the uptake of adaptation measures in the agricultural sector. To this end, this meta-analysis synthesizes relevant studies contained in a recently published evidence gap map (EGM) on the effectiveness of climate change adaptation interventions in low- and middle-income countries. The results show a significant disparity of effects, with a large proportion of studies showing that credit-related variables do not significantly affect decisions to adopt adaptation measures. Furthermore, our meta-regression shows that certain study design elements have a strong correlation with the studies' results, such as estimation method, number of covariates and selection of control variables. We conclude that narrower definitions of credit variables, together with counterfactual study designs, should be used to obtain more reliable and robust evidence on the subject. From a policy perspective, access to credit, while important and relevant for building resilience and encouraging investments, might not be a sufficient factor in encouraging autonomous adaptation. When designing financial products, it is essential to consider the preferences among highly vulnerable households and individuals, who may channel resources towards other needs. (xsd:string)
