摘要: 人工智能正在重构科研范式,但在农业经济学中的应用尚不充分。因此,需要系统讨论其在农业经济学中的应用路径、面临的冲突及解决思路。人工智能已从自然科学向社会科学及经济学领域演进,并在微观行为分析与政策模拟中得到应用。然而,人工智能所侧重的预测能力与农业经济学中的因果识别导向存在冲突,这是当前农业经济学科应用人工智能的主要障碍。考虑到农业自然再生产的不确定性与中国小农户为主的生产制度的复杂性,盲目套用通用模型可能带来决策偏见与风险。一种可行的方案是将人工智能嵌入因果推断框架,使其在高维数据结构下辅助变量选择、工具变量构造及反事实预测。此外,研究者在使用人工智能工具时应从单纯的数据处理转向知识可靠性评价,利用理论功底和实地调研经验纠偏算法局限。上述思路为智能时代的农业经济学提供了一个兼顾预测优势与因果推断需求的方法论框架。

Abstract: Artificial intelligence is reshaping the paradigm of scientific research, yet its application in agricultural economics remains insufficient. Therefore, a systematic discussion is needed on its implementation pathways, conflicts faced, and resolution strategies within agricultural economics. Artificial intelligence has evolved from the natural sciences into the fields of social sciences and economics, finding applications in microbehavioral analysis and policy simulation. However, the predictive ability emphasized by artificial intelligence conflicts with the causal identification orientation in agricultural economics, which is currently the main obstacle to the application of artificial intelligence in agricultural economics. Considering the uncertainty of agricultural natural reproduction and the complexity of China’s production system dominated by small-scale farmers, blindly applying generic models may lead to decision-making biases and risks. A feasible solution is to integrate artificial intelligence into causal inference frameworks, enabling it to assist in variable selection, instrument variable construction, and counterfactual prediction under high-dimensional data structures. In addition, researchers should shift from simple data processing to knowledge reliability evaluation when using artificial intelligence tools, and use theoretical knowledge and field research experience to correct algorithm limitations. The above ideas provide a methodological framework for agricultural economics in the intelligent era that balances predictive advantages and causal inference needs.

Key words: artificial intelligence, agricultural economics, research paradigm, predictive power, causal identification
