But empirical evidence is rather inconclusive so far, particularly about its relationship to (mass) violence. In this... Publication Estimating the impact of climate change on agricultural production: accounting for technology heterogeneity across countries 01.05.2014 We estimate the impact of climate change on agricultural production in a panel of 127 countries from 1961 to 2002. In contrast to the existing literature we account for cross-sectional dependence and technology heterogeneity. We find no significant...
