We present a new framework to identify demand and supply elasticities of agricultural commodities using yield shocks … - deviations from a time trend of output per area, which are predominantly caused by weather fluctuations. Demand is identified … using current-period shocks that give rise to exogenous shifts in supply. Supply is identified using past shocks, which …
