Agriculture is arguably the most climate-sensitive sector of the economy.
Growing concerns about anthropogenic climate change have increased research
interest in assessing its potential impact on the sector and in identifying
policies and adaptation strategies to help the sector cope with a changing
climate. This chapter provides an overview of recent advancements in the
analysis of climate change impacts and adaptation in agriculture with an
emphasis on methods. The chapter provides an overview of recent research
efforts addressing key conceptual and empirical challenges. The chapter also
discusses practical matters about conducting research in this area and provides
reproducible R code to perform common tasks of data preparation and model
estimation in this literature. The chapter provides a hands-on introduction to
new researchers in this area.
