Climate Change, Water Scarcity in Agriculture and the Economy-Wide Impacts in a CGE Framework
Ponce, Roberto; Parrado, Ramiro; Stehr, Alejandra; … - 2016
This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure of the ICES model to characterize the key features of...
