Food Policy in a Warming World

Hsiao, Allan; Moscona, Jacob; Sastry, Karthik - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Do governments systematically intervene in agricultural markets in response to climate shocks? If so, what are the aggregate and distributional consequences? We construct a global dataset of agricultural policies and extreme heat exposure by country and crop since 1980. We find that extreme heat...

Climate Change and Downstream Water Quality in Agricultural Production : The Case of Nutrient Runoff to the Gulf of Mexico

Elbakidze, Levan; Xu, Yuelu; Gassman, Philip W.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer use in agricultural production is a significant determinant of surface water quality. As climate changes, agricultural producers are likely to adapt at extensive and intensive margins in terms of land and per acre input use, including fertilizers. These changes can affect...

Gender inclusion in climate change adaptation

Aoyagi, Midori; Suda, Eiko; Shinada, Tomomi - 2011

There is increasing evidence that climate change has an impact on natural disasters, such as flooding, and on agricultural production, both of which have implications for gender issues. In this paper we briefly review issues related to gender and poverty and examine the relationships between...

Is Agricultural Production Becoming More or Less Sensitive to Extreme Heat? Evidence from U.S. Corn and Soybean Yields

Roberts, Michael J. - 2010

Extreme heat is the single best predictor of corn and soybean yields in the United States. While average yields have risen continuously since World War II, we find no evidence that relative tolerance to extreme heat has improved between 1950 and 2005. Climate change forecasts project a sharp...

Measuring the Economic Effect of Global Warming on Viticulture Using Auction, Retail, and Wholesale Prices

Ashenfelter, Orley C. - 2010

Although auction prices are based on actual transactions, they provide a thick market only for high quality, expensive wines and may overestimate climate's effect on farmer revenues. Wholesale prices, on the other hand, do provide broad coverage of all wines sold and probably come closest to...

Impacts of Climate Change and Extreme Weather on U.S. Agricultural Productivity : Evidence and Projection

Wang, Sun Ling - 2017

This paper employs a stochastic frontier approach to examine how climate change and extreme weather affect U.S. agricultural productivity using 1940-1970 historical weather data (mean and variation) as the norm. We have four major findings. First, using temperature humidity index (THI) load and...
