Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...
