Despite extensive research on various climate adaptation frictions, including financial and technological constraints, models of adaptive decision-making assume that agents have perfect information and accurate beliefs about climate. Combining rural household data in Bangladesh with a meteorological measure of dryness, this paper studies the role of individual drought beliefs and their accuracy in irrigation decisions as a key adaptive margin. In a theoretical model, I introduce a behavioral friction to document how heterogeneous beliefs differentially influence responsiveness to the same meteorological signal in dryness. The empirical analysis reveals an asymmetric response to dry shocks in irrigation conditional on the accuracy of prior beliefs. A counterfactual analysis shows lower technology adoption levels and higher monetary losses when beliefs are inaccurate.<br \/>\n&#8212; from &#8220;Adapting to climate change accounting for individual beliefs&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;Nowadays&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apt-to-Adapt.mp3 Apt-to-Adapt.mp4 [Verse] In the thick of the jungle A battle&#8217;s begun Climate adaptation We&#8217;re out in the sun Frictions and uncertainties They&#8217;re tearing us apart Lower technology adoption It&#8217;s a poison dart [Verse 2] Beliefs are inaccurate It&#8217;s a dangerous game Monetary losses They&#8217;re causing us pain We&#8217;re stuck in a cycle We can&#8217;t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9,14,3955,24],"tags":[163,546,563,3962],"class_list":["post-33969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-megaepix-enormous","category-the-beatless-sense-mongers","tag-climate-change","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos","tag-nowadays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33969"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33977,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33969\/revisions\/33977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
