Dynamic adjustments in the Dutch greenhouse sector due to environmental regulations

Verreth, Daphne M.I.; Emvalomatis, Grigorios; Bunte, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

Horticultural firms are dependent on energy to produce, while policy makers focus on reducing the use of energy and … investment in energy-saving technologies. The paper aimed to asses Dutch greenhouse farmers‘ responses to policies that would … affect prices of different energy inputs. The farmer’s behaviour is modelled in two steps: firms are assumed to maximize …

Understand the energy demand behaviours for a sustainable management of the natural resources in Cameroon.

Nkendah, Robert - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2007

demand behaviours of the urban households, with respect to the various sources of energy. The work aims to highlight the … place of the firewood like source of energy. The results obtained confirm the important place of the firewood in its various … forms like source of energy in urban areas and thus indicating a threat on the future of the natural resources, in …

An evaluation of the economic impact of Climate Change through a three-stages Discrete Stochastic Programming model

Cortignani, Raffaele; Dono, Gabriele; Doro, Luca; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010

The climate change in the agricultural sector acting on multiple weather variables at different times of the various crop cycles. In several cases by changing the mean level of variables (rainfall, temperature, etc..), in other cases by changing the distribution of events. This work provides an...

Biological Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Trading Re-Visited

Kooten, G. Cornelis van - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

Under Kyoto, biological activities that sequester carbon can be used to create CO2 offset credits that could obviate the need for lifestyle-changing reductions in fossil fuel use. Credits are earned by storing carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and wood products, although CO2 emissions are also...

ON ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND RISK EXPOSURE IN THE NILE BASIN OF ETHIOPIA

Di Falco, Salvatore; Veronesi, Marcella - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

This study investigates the impact of climate change adaptation on farm households’ downside risk exposure (e.g., risk of crop failure) in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia. The analysis relies on a moment-based specification of the stochastic production function. We estimate a simultaneous equations...

Possible Impacts of Climate Change on Mediterranean Irrigated Farming Systems

Dono, Gabriele; Cortignani, Raffaele; Doro, Luca; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

In the agricultural sector, climate change (CC) affects multiple weather variables at different stages of crop cycles. CC may influence the mean level or affect the distribution of events (e.g., rainfall, temperature). This work evaluates the economic impact of CC-related changes in multiple...

The impact of climate change on agriculture and food prices: combining a micro land use model and a market equilibrium model

Kan, Iddo; Kimhi, Ayal; Kaminski, Jonathan - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

We develop an empirical farmland allocation model based on explicit profit functions that is linked to a market demand model. The model accounts for corner solutions, enabling estimation with disaggregated data, and thereby allows treating prices as exogenous. The integrated model enables...

An attempt to assess the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector in FYR Macedonia using an aridity index approach

Martinovska-Stojcheska, Aleksandra; Chanevski, Zlatko; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Considering the scale of global warming, we make an attempt to assess the impact of climate change on Macedonian agriculture. Farmers’ adaptation is taken into account by using an alternative specification of the Ricardian model based on the use of aridity indices to capture the non-linear...
