This paper shows that using yields may not be informative of the relationship between farm size and productivity in the … context of small-scale farming. This occurs because, in addition to productivity, yields pick up size-dependent market … distortions and decreasing returns to scale. As a result, a positive relationship between farm productivity and land size may turn …

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 substantially. Through an inter-method comparison, we provide...
