"Climate change adaptation: Agricultural productivity shocks and trade policy responses" by Mahlkow, Hendrik Abstract Climate change will cause productivity shocks that will be unevenly distributed across space. That will shift international comparative advantage. While for some countries productivity will increase, for others it will decrease. Some countries are more vulnerable to climate-induced productivity shocks than others, e.g. low-income countries. At the same time, these countries often have high barriers to trade, limiting their scope to adapt to external economic shocks. This paper analyses how trade policy liberalization can off-set climate-induced welfare losses and how it affects climate change adaption. I use rich granular data to examine the impact of future climate change on agricultural crop productivity around the world. The productivity shocks are fed into a general equilibrium trade model with input-output linkages, land, and different labor categories as production factors. I develop a brute-force algorithm to compute each country's trade policy response to compensate climate-induced welfare losses. |
