Once again we see how agricultural economists are contributing foundational research to the broader research community.

It reveals a clear lineage of applied climate–agriculture econometrics that has grown from this work.

New paper: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03… One section of our recent @_Food_Policy review article focuses on #ClimateChange econometrics in agriculture, in which we highlight how the Schlenker–Roberts approach has proven robust across multiple crops, regions, and empirical strategies 🧵

For anyone working on agricultural economics, production theory, or applied micro, we hope this review offers perspective on where the literature has been and where it might go next.

The paper also suggests paths forward: hybrid approaches that combine strengths of older and newer methods could be particularly promising.

For a while now I have felt that ag economists are "different" from more general economists, but I struggle to define why. Here is some verbiage from @Brian_Roe_30's #AAEA Presidential Address, now published in the #AJAE, that I find useful. Its a great read, highly recommend!

Annual Forage insurance covers annual crops that will be fed to livestock (grazed, hayed, used for silage, etc.) against declines in rain (precipation) relative to the historic levels. It might be useful for producers that (1) want an alternative to MPCI or (2) are growing a
