Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are the workhorse of assessments of the agricultural impacts of climate change. Yet … the changes in crop yields projected by different models in response to the same meteorological forcing can differ …-form econometric models of crop yield responses to temperature and precipitation exposures for both GGCMs and observations. We find …
