Early work explored the sensitivity of crops to climate variability (Mearns et al. Particularly relevant are Butler and Huybers (2013), who allow for heterogeneity in heat sensitivity across counties, and Roberts and Schlenker (2012), who allow for variation over time (common to all counties). 2009 Sep 15;106(37):15594-8. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0906865106. temperatures being especially important (e.g., Schlenker and Roberts 2009). Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article Corn and soybeans are two of the world’s four key staple commodities that comprise about three- quarters of calories produced worldwide (rice and wheat are the other two). : Growing areas in Brazil and the United States with similar exposure to extreme heat have similar yields. " Identifying Supply and Demand Elasticities of Agricultural Commodities: Implications for the US Ethanol Mandate by Michael J. Roberts and Wolfram Schlenker. This raises questions about the extent to which forecasts of the long term effects on land value or crop yield from these models can be attributed to climate change. Epub 2009 Aug 28. Schlenker W and Roberts M J 2009 Nonlinear temperature effects indicate severe damages to US crop yields under climate change Proc. Speci cally, they nd that corn has a current threshold of 29o centigrade, beyond which corn yields decrease sharply. However, studies to address similar issues in China, the largest developing economy in the world, using a rigorous approach and high quality data, remain limited. The Mendelsohn study found crop failure rates varied with climate in a systematic fashion acros s the country. Natl Acad. 2016, Schlenker and Roberts 2009), and these findings have been replicated across the globe (Carleton and Hsiang 2016, Auffhammer and Schlenker 2014, ∗Maximilian Auffhammer (corresponding author): Professor and Associate Dean of Social Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. relationship analysis (Schlenker and Roberts 2009). Authors Wolfram Schlenker 1 , Michael J Roberts. (2013) observed that rise of temperature beyond 30°C will cause negative impacts in rainfed maize in USA and Africa. Published: Aug. 24, 2009, in the online version of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Following the same study, we set the upper threshold of the GDD calculation at 29 °C, with the lower threshold at 8 °C. Based on the nonlinearity of the temperature response, U.S. maize and soybean yields were predicted to decrease by 30% to 46% before the end of the century under the IPCC scenario with the slowest warming trend (Schlenker and Roberts, 2009). Roberts(2009) I estimate a step regression, which provides considerable exibility in esti-mating nonlinear relations. Predicting Crop Yields Using Soil Moisture and Heat: An Extension to Schlenker and Roberts (2009) ," 2019 Annual Meeting, July 21-23, Atlanta, Georgia 291093, Agricultural and Applied Economics Association. ABSTRACT. Roberts, Michael J. and Wolfram Schlenker (2009). As identified in Schlenker and Roberts (2009), corn and soybeans have similar bio-physical responses to temperature and precipitation changes. “World Supply and Demand of Food Commodity Calories." AFFILIATIONS: PeTerson, heim, Karl, and vose—NOAA/National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina; hirsCh—U.S. The speci cation compares individuals born in the same district at di erent points in time, and hence exposed to di erent average in-utero temperature, To circumvent such a problem, our preferred model uses novel instruments based on the seasonally varying sensitivity of corn yields to extreme heat over the … (Schlenker and. Natl Acad. The two approaches have different strengths and weaknesses. Ortiz-Bobea 2013; Schlenker and Roberts 2009) in the developed world, particularly in the United States (US). 2005), agricultural production (White et al. panel data regressions of yield on temperature and precipitation (see, e.g., Schlenker and Roberts 2009, Burke and Emerick 2016).

Schlenker and Roberts (2009) note, climate change may affect crop prices by affecting world crop production. Roberts 2009) This study • Estimate climate impacts on economic growth, allowing for non-linearities in the relationship The data were derived by combining daily weather station data from NOAA’s climate data center with monthly data … Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 106(43), E121.

A 3.8% reduc-tion in maize production was shown by global temperature trend analysis using historical yield data from 1980 to 2008 (Lobell et al.

More importantly, the corn-soybean rotation is predominant. In the following, we use the data and optimal bounds from Schlenker and Roberts (2009), that is, all counties east of 100 degree longitude, an approximate boundary between the irrigated west and the dryland east.6 The exception is Florida, which is excluded as most counties are highly irri-gated. Schlenker, Wolfram and Michael J. Roberts (2009). The data used in this study is a 2010 update of a 2005 version of that we developed and used in our earlier work (Schlenker and Roberts 2006, 2009). Affiliation 1 Department of Economics and School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA. 2006; Schlenker and Roberts 2009), and food security (Battisti and Naylor 2009), and in the most severe cases may also substantially reduce ecosystem productivity (Ciais et al. Our weather data comes from Schlenker and Roberts (2009), which provides minimum and maximum temperature as well as total precipitation at a daily frequency on a 2.5 × 2.5 mile grid for the entire US. Haqiqi, Iman & Grogan, Danielle S. & Hertel, Thomas W. & Schlenker, Wolfram, 2019. " These crops comprise two of the four largest sources of caloric energy produced and are thus critical for world food supply. We compare predictions of a simple process-based crop model (Soltani and Sinclair 2012), a simple statistical model (Schlenker and Roberts 2009), and a combination of both models to actual maize yields on a large, representative sample of farmer-managed fields in the Corn Belt region of the United States. Their cropping practices also bear substantial similarities, and farm machines are commonly shared between these two crops. et al.

To identify the causal effect of climate on these outcomes, the literature has generally relied on either climate normals (i.e., long averages of observed Schlenker, Wolfram and Michael J.

Government programs may both enable or potentially distort societal adaptation behavior.

A smaller but still considerable body of work has focused on changes in the variability of crop production.

Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia; Kaiser—Carbon Dioxide 2006) and can be indirectly affected through threshold responses of agricultural pests (Diffenbaugh et al. the threshold (Schlenker and Roberts 2009). 2005).

Yet, empirical evidence about the effectiveness of governmental programs and whether they aid or interfere with improving the sensitivity of sys-tems to … BY MICHAEL J. ROBERTS AND WOLFRAM SCHLENKER. Yet agriculture alone cannot account for observed output declines, which are apparent in countries with both large and small agricultural sectors. Our goal here is to compare and combine the two approaches using a large new data set that spans a majority of actual maize fields in the United States. 13 To assign daily weather observations to an airport or zip code, we use the grid cell in which the zip code centroid is located. The research by Schlenker and Roberts (2009) established important nonlinearities and thresholds in corn plant responses to temperature and precipitation. Notes: The observations are calculated at the county-year level. Surprisingly, few studies systematically investigate the impact of extreme weather events on agriculture (Mendelsohn 2007, IPCC 2012) . Following Schlenker and Roberts (2009), we define the growing season as March to August and obtain growing degree days (GDD) based on the data for the daily maximum and minimum temperature.
