Study on water productivity issues of rice cultivation in Punjab and sugarcane cultivation in Maharashtra … irrigation water available in the country. Hence if sustainable agriculture water-use has to be ensured, economics (productivity … and profitability) of at least these two crops needs to be studied thoroughly to see how best higher productivity and …

Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are the workhorse of assessments of the agricultural impacts of climate change. Yet the changes in crop yields projected by different models in response to the same meteorological forcing can differ substantially. Through an inter-method comparison, we provide...

This paper shows that using yields may not be informative of the relationship between farm size and productivity in the … context of small-scale farming. This occurs because, in addition to productivity, yields pick up size-dependent market … distortions and decreasing returns to scale. As a result, a positive relationship between farm productivity and land size may turn …

This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure of the ICES model to characterize the key features of...
