About 30 years of development, there is lack of consistent and systematic analysis on the profitability of agritourism business. Therefore, this research tried to collect the data from Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery and Husbandry Census (AFFHC) and apply Propensity Score Matching (PSM) approach developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) to reveal the important and effective factors on profitability of agritourism farms. The PSM approach can avoid the self-selection effects and control the inherent differences among individuals.
The study is based on 2015 AFFHC data and uses the probit model to explore the factors influencing the agritourism income under PSM framework by comparing with non-Agritourism farms. The results show that different business types of agritourism, for instance, tourist farms, countryside lodgings, countryside restaurants do significantly enhance farmers’ incomes by various pairing methods.
