Nonparametric productivity analyses performed to date show that most developing countries are experiencing relatively rapid technical regress in agriculture. We discuss the plausibility of these results and argue that they stem from the existence of biased technical change and the definition of t...

Is agricultural productivity in developing countries really shrinking? New evidence using a modified nonparametric approach
Analysis of climate change is often computationally burdensome. Here, we present an approach for intelligently selecting a sample of climates from a population of 6800 climates designed to represent the full distribution of likely climate outcomes out to 2050 for the Zambeze River Valley. Philoso...
The papers in this special issue represent some of the most comprehensive analyses of the implications of climate change for developing countries undertaken to date. The papers employ a bottoms-up systems approach whereby the implications of climate change are evaluated using structural models of...
