This paper aimed to analyse Senegalese farmers’ technical efficiency in the context of climate variability and spatial heterogeneity. To achieve this, firstly using simulated data, we evaluated the newly developed spatial stochastic frontier estimation technique based on skew-normal...

This paper provides a model-based assessment of local and global climate change impacts for the case of Yemen, focusing on agricultural production, household incomes and food security. Global climate change is mainly transmitted through rising world food prices. Our simulation results suggest...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of rising temperatures on firm productivity using longitudinal firm … temperature. We begin by estimating firms' total factor productivity (TFP) using control-function techniques. We then apply … multiple-way fixed-effects regressions to assess how higher temperature anomalies affect firm productivity - measured via TFP …

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...
