Are small farms really more productive than large farms?
Aragon, Fernando M.; Restuccia, Diego; Rud, Juan Pablo - 2021

Do temperature thresholds threaten American farmland?
Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2017
Estimated Ricardian models have been criticized because they rely on mean temperatures and do not explicitly include extreme temperatures. This paper uses a cross sectional approach to compare a standard quadratic Ricardian model of mean temperature with a fully flexible daily temperature bin...
