Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf das Produktionsrisiko in der Weizenproduktion an drei ausgewählten bayerischen Standorten. Zur Analyse der Auswirkungen möglicher klimatischer Veränderungen auf Naturalerträge bei verschiedenen...

This paper proposes a new Economic Drought Management Index (EDMI) that could assist water managers to inter-temporally manage water reservoirs. The index's main appeal is that it can be easily interpreted and that it encompasses in a single number hydrological processes, structural constraints,...

In dieser Studie werden Treibhausgasemissionen (THG) aus der deutschen Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft analysiert und Möglichkeiten zu ihrer Reduzierung erörtert. Darüber hinaus wird die Eignung von Ökobilanzen für die Bewertung von Produktionsverfahren und Produkten untersucht. In Kapitel...

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The severity of climate-change impacts is related to the geographic and ecological particularity of the region. The majority of countries in the MENA region belong to the hydraulic poor regions located...

This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is...

Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are the workhorse of assessments of the agricultural impacts of climate change. Yet the changes in crop yields projected by different models in response to the same meteorological forcing can differ substantially. Through an inter-method comparison, we provide...

Estimated Ricardian models have been criticized because they rely on mean temperatures and do not explicitly include extreme temperatures. This paper uses a cross sectional approach to compare a standard quadratic Ricardian model of mean temperature with a fully flexible daily temperature bin...

Due to the changes that have taken place over the last period of time, at the level of the macromedium and micro-environment factors of an agricultural enterprise, the agricultural producer is challenged to have an activity characterized by performance and competitiveness. In order to support...

We investigate climate change impacts on productivity and production risk on U. S. Pacific Northwest winter wheat farms. Using farm-level data from the Census of Agriculture, we use a partial-moment-based approach to estimate climate and irrigation influences on winter wheat yield and farm net...
