An Information-Theoretic Approach to Reconciling Historical Climate Observations and Impacts on Agriculture
Decision-makers in climate risk management often face problems of how to reconcile diverse and conflicting sources of information about weather and its impact on human activity, such as when they are determining a quantitative threshold for when to act on satellite data. For this class of problems, it is important to quantitatively assess how severe a year was relative to other years, accounting for both the level of uncertainty among weather ind…
Effects of input vouchers and rainfall insurance on agricultural production and household welfare
