The Economic Impacts of Climate Change : Evidence from Agricultural Profits and Random Fluctuations in Weather

Greenstone, Michael; Deschênes, Olivier - 2012

This paper measures the economic impact of climate change on US agricultural land by estimating the effect of the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation on agricultural profits. Using long-run climate change predictions from the Hadley 2 Model, the preferred...

Economic Impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation : Evidence from the Colombian Coffee Market

Bastianin, Andrea - 2017

We develop a structural econometric model to study the impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Colombian coffee production, exports and price. Our empirical specification is consistent with an economic model of the coffee market that, in the short-run, is characterized by a...

The Economic Impact of Weather and Climate

Tol, Richard S. J. - 2021

I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth …: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I … in both rich and poor countries; positively in cold countries and negatively in hot ones. Weather anomalies reduce …

Weather and Income : Lessons from the Main European Regions

García-León, David - 2015

Some recent papers by Dell et al. (2009) and Dell et al. (2012) (DJO) relating weather and economic outcomes, have … countries, leaving rich countries basically unaffected. In this study, we make use of a detailed weather and economic dataset …

Climate Change Assessment and Agriculture in General Equilibrium Models : Alternative Modeling Strategies

Palatnik, Ruslana Rachel; Roson, Roberto - 2014

Agricultural sectors play a key role in the economics of climate change. Land as an input to agricultural production is one of the most important links between economy and the biosphere, representing a direct projection of human action on the natural environment. Agricultural management...

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on European Agriculture

Van Passel, Steven; Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, … - 2014

This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

Policy- v. Individual Heterogeneity in the Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation : Evidence from a Stated-Preference Survey

Alberini, Anna; Ščasný, Milan; Bigano, Andrea - 2017

The implementation of decarbonization policies depends crucially on the public’s willingness to pay for them. We use stated preference methods to investigate the public’s preferences for such policies. We ask three research questions. First, does the willingness to pay (WTP) for each ton of...

Estimating Global Damages from Sea Level Rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)

Diaz, Delavane - 2015

The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Climate Change and Adaptation : The Case of Nigerian Agriculture

Bosello, Francesco - 2013

The present research offers an economic assessment of climate change impacts on the four major crop families characterizing Nigerian agriculture, covering more than 80% of agricultural value added. The evaluation is performed shocking land productivity in a computable general equilibrium model...

Modelling the effects of climate change on economic growth : a Bayesian Structural Global Vector Autoregressive approach

Ahmadi, Maryam; Casoli, Chiara; Manera, Matteo; … - 2022

The identification of the effects of climate shocks on economic growth is central to design effective policies aiming at managing the future global climate change challenge. In this study, we investigate the effects of temperature and precipitation shocks on economic growth across different...
