The effect of risk, ambiguity and coordination on farmers' adaptation to climate change : a framed field experiment
Alpízar R., Francisco; Carlsson, Frederik; Naranjo, Maria - 2010
The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

The Effect of Risk, Ambiguity and Coordination on Farmers’ Adaptation to Climate Change : A Framed Field Experiment
Alpizar, Francisco; Carlsson, Fredrik; Naranjo, Maria - 2015
The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

Estimating the impact of climate change on agricultural production : accounting for technology heterogeneity across countries
Exenberger, Andreas; Pondorfer, Andreas; Wolters, Maik H. - 2014
We estimate the impact of climate change on agricultural production in a panel of 127 countries from 1961 to 2002. In contrast to the existing literature we account for cross-sectional dependence and technology heterogeneity. We find no significant impact of climate change on agricultural...

Agriculture and the twofold relationship between food security and climate change : evidence from Romania
Istudor, Nicolae; Ion, Raluca Andreea; Petrescu, Irina Elena - In: Amfiteatru economic : an economic and business research … 21 (2019) 51, pp. 285-293
Nowadays, agriculture is facing a special challenge - to produce more food for a growing population, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by food production. This piece of research is focused on the impact of agriculture on climate change, starting from the assumption that agriculture...

Can a growing world be fed when the climate is changing?
Dietz, Simon; Lanz, Bruno - 2019 - This version: November 2019
We study the capacity to meet food demand under conditions of climate change, economic and population growth. We take a novel approach to quantifying climate impacts, based on a model of the global economy structurally estimated on the period 1960 to 2015. The model integrates several features...

Climate change, water scarcity in agriculture and the economy-wide impacts in a CGE framework
Ponce, Roberto; Parrado, Ramiro; Stehr, Alejandra; … - 2016
This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure of the ICES model to characterize the key features of...

An economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration with biochar in Germany
Teichmann, Isabel - 2015
renewable sources of energy – could lead to an annual mitigation of up to 10.2 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalents by … 2030 and of up to 10.6 million tonnes by 2050. To analyze whether this technically feasible greenhouse-gas mitigation … potential is also economically viable, we calculate the corresponding greenhousegas mitigation costs and construct so …

Does climate change make foodgrain yields more unpredictable : evidence from India
Verma, Saumya; Gupta, Shreekant; Sen, Partha - 2020
How would climate change affect India’s agriculture which accounts for sixty percent of employment? We study the impact of climate change on the level and variability of yields of rice (India’s major food crop) and two key millet crops (sorghum and pearl millet), using an all India district...

The link between carbon emissions, agricultural output and industrial output: evidence from South Africa
Sibanda, Mabutho; Ndlela, Hlengiwe - In: Journal of business economics and management 21 (2020) 2, pp. 301-316
This study seeks to establish the relationship between carbon emissions, agricultural output and industrial output in South Africa. It uses data from 1960 to 2017 based on an annual frequency, giving a total of 58 annual observations. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique is employed to...
