Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1005-1017, September 2026.
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 ...

Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1135-1145, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1119-1134, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1185-1200, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

Insights into the effects of reproductive phase thermal stress on physiology and yield‐related traits of rice cultivars

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract High temperatures lead to a significant drop in rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity worldwide, especially during the reproductive stage. This research was piloted to evaluate 10 promising rice cultivars for their ability to withstand high‐temperature stress (HS) during the reproductive phase and to assess the impact on physiology and yield ...
