  1. Note: Only second-stage regression results are reported. Robust standard errors are in parentheses. Statistical significance: *** 1%, ** 5%, * 10%. Only the total financial value of agricultural adaptation aid is considered. Countries are classified as high vulnerability or high readiness if their climate vulnerability or readiness exceeds the sample median. A country is classified as high (low) vulnerability and high (low) readiness if it is simultaneously classified as high (low) vulnerability and high (low) readiness
