Climate Change, Risk and Grain Production in China
Holst, Rainer; Yu, Xiaohua; Grun, Carola - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010
This paper employs the production function-based method proposed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming and climate change, and test for a potential endogeneity of climate factors in Chinese grain production. Our results...

Kansas Grain Supply Response to Economic and Biophysical Factors, 1977-2007
Boussios, David; Barkley, Andrew P. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2012
This research identifies and quantifies the impact of biophysical and economic variables on Kansas grain supply for the … period 1977- 2007. This research estimates total supply response by aggregating yield and acreage responses. Previous methods … have effectively analyzed the response of crop supply through either acreage or yield responses. However, the method …
