      abstract = {This study investigates the impacts of government  subsidized crop insurance on farmers’ rice cultivation  practices using household survey data in Guangdong  province, China. Although the insurance is compulsory, only  some of the beneficiaries are aware of being insured by  this insurance. Utilizing the diversity of insurance  awareness, the effect of insurance is evaluated employing  an endogenous treatment-effect model, which addresses the  endogeneity of farmers’ awareness of being insured. The  results show that farmers who are aware of being insured  increased rice cultivation area by specializing in rice and  probably adopting double cropping. As a result, total rice  production increased significantly.},
