Drawing on the method developed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979), this paper separately analyzes the marginal contributions of both regular input factors and climate factors to mean output and to production risk in Chinese inland aquaculture. Furthermore, the net change in output following a 1°C...

The world temperature will increase at the end of the present century by about 6 °C or more. It is expected that the ice on the Antarctic continent melts within the next generations as well as the ice of Greenland. As a consequence the ocean level may raise up to even 60 meters, not only 2...
