Chapter 60 Past Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
Mendelsohn, Robert - In: Handbook of agricultural economics : volume 3: …, (pp. 3009-3031). 2007
This paper examines the likely impact on agriculture of the climate change which has already taken place between 1960 …, and carbon dioxide response functions are used to calculate the impacts on agriculture. Temperature and precipitation … overall growth of agriculture has been small, contributing between 2.6% and 5.4% of overall growth. This effect has been …

How China's Farmers Adapt To Climate Change
Wang, Jinxia - 2008
This paper uses a cross sectional method to analyze irrigation choice and crop choice across 8,405 farmers in 28 provinces in China. The findings show that Chinese farmers are more likely to irrigate when facing lower temperatures and less precipitation. Farmers in warmer places are more likely...

Differential Adaptation Strategies To Climate Change In African Cropland By Agro-Ecological Zones
Seo, Niggol - 2008
This paper quantifies how African farmers have adapted their crop and irrigation decisions to their farm's current agro-ecological zone. The results indicate that farmers carefully consider the climate and other conditions of their farm when making these choices. These results are then used to...

Endogenous irrigation : the impact of climate change on farmers in Africa
Mendelsohn, Robert - 2007
Previous Ricardian analyses of agriculture have either omitted irrigation or treated irrigation as though it is … separately in the Ricardian model, irrigation must be modeled endogenously. The results also indicate that African agriculture is … agriculture community. The results indicate that irrigation is an effective adaptation against loss of rainfall and higher …
