Is Western European agriculture resilient to high temperatures?
Massetti, Emanuele; Van Passel, Steven; Apablaza, Camila - 2018
We estimate a Ricardian model of Western European agricultural land values using farm-level data. We model the effect of temperature on land values using a flexible specification of daily mean temperature to test if there are temperature threshold effects. Results indicate that there are no...

Adaptation to Temperature Extremes in Chinese Agriculture, 1981 to 2010
Wang, Di; Zhang, Peng; Chen, Shuai - 2021
Temporal evolution of extreme temperature effects on agriculture is important for understanding adaptation to climate change but has not been sufficiently studied. This study examines the time-varying impacts of extreme temperatures on Chinese agriculture over 1981 to 2010. We estimate a...

Forecasting profitability
Rosenzweig, Mark; Udry, Christopher - 2013
We use newly-available Indian panel data to estimate how the returns to planting-stage investments vary by rainfall realizations. We show that the forecasts significantly affect farmer investment decisions and that these responses account for a substantial fraction of the inter-annual...
