The economywide impacts and risks of Malawi's farm input subsidy programme
Arndt, Channing; Pauw, Karl; Thurlow, James - 2014
We estimate the impact of Malawi's Farm Input Subsidy Programme using an economywide approach. We find potentially substantial net benefits with indirect benefits accounting for about two-fifths of total benefits. Due to these indirect benefits, the cut-off at which lower fertilizer yield...

Regional climate change of the greater Zambezi River Basin : a hybrid assessment
Schlosser, C. Adam; Strzepek, Kenneth M. - 2013
Projections of regional changes in seasonal surface-air temperature and precipitation for the eastern and western Zambezi River Basin regions are presented. These projections are cast in a probabilistic context based on a numerical hybridization technique of the MIT Integrated Global System...
