Handbook on climate change and agriculture
2011
Dinar, Ariel | Mendelsohn, Robert O.
Agricultural and resource economists, and other contributors examine the impact of climate change on agriculture and how agriculture is able to adapt to such change. They cover agronomic studies of climate impacts and adaptation, economic studies of climate impacts on agriculture, agricultural impacts on the economy, agricultural mitigation, and adaptation to agricultural impacts. Specific topics include effects of climate variability on domestic livestock, using panel data models to estimate the economic impacts of climate change on agriculture, a case study for economy-wide adaptation strategies in sub-Saharan Africa, the present and future role or agricultural projects under the Clean Development Mechanism, and insurance as an adaptation to climate variability in agriculture.
