A stochastic simulation approach to estimating the economic impacts of climate change in Bangladesh

Thurlow, James; Dorosh, Paul; Yu, Winston - 2011

Climate change assessments often inadequately address uncertainty when estimating damages. Using a dynamic economy-wide model of Bangladesh, we estimate and decompose damages from historical climate variability and future anthropogenic climate change. Our stochastic simulation approach avoids...

Impact of climate change on irrigation, crops and hydropower in Vietnam

Gebretsadik, Yohannes; Fant, Charles; Strzepek, Kenneth - 2012

Vietnam is among the countries that are assumed to be highly affected by the impacts of climate change through sea level rise; increased temperature and changes in precipitation resulting in changes in crop water requirements and yields; and changes in river flow with impacts on hydropower and...
