Adapting to Climate Change Mosaically: An Analysis of African Livestock Management by Agro-Ecological Zones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine African livestock management across Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) to learn how they would adapt to climate change in the coming century, and analyze farm level decisions to own livestock and to choose a primary livestock species using logit models with and without country fixed effects or AEZ fixed effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Markets for Woody Biomass Energy to Sequester Carbon in Forests
Alice Favero,Robert Mendelsohn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore an alternative mechanism to increase forest carbon sequestration by creating a market for wood bioenergy, which encourages landowners to convert vast amounts of land to forest, which incidentally increases forest carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine methods for measuring climate adaptation and discuss the empirical evidence using cross-sectional analysis, simulcast analysis, and empirical evidence from the United Nations Climate Change Program.
Journal ArticleDOI
What Causes Crop Failure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore what causes catastrophic crop failures and demonstrate that 39% of the variation in expected crop failure rates across the United States can be explained by soils and climate.
