Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Probabilistic Modeling for Prediction Errors to Enhance Balancing Market Participation of Photovoltaic Systems: Error Threshold Estimation, Multisite Aggregation, and Overloading Effects

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study proposes a method to increase the value of solar power in balancing markets by managing prediction errors. The approach models prediction uncertainties and quantifies reserve requirements based on a probabilistic model. This enables the more reliable participation of photovoltaic plants in balancing markets across multiple sites, especially ...
