Land Use and Climate Change Interactions

Mendelsohn, Robert; Dinar, Ariel - In: Annual Review of Resource Economics 1 (2009) 1, pp. 309-332

Land use and land-use change can result in the emissions of greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Climate change also affects the productivity of land, which in turn leads to further land-use change. This paper explores the growing research on both topics. The land-use emission literature...

General equilibrium effects of public adaptation in agriculture in LDCs: Evidence from Ethiopia

Yalew, Amsalu W.; Hirte, Georg; Lotze-Campen, Hermann; … - 2017
