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

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Local well-posedness for the tropical climate model with fractional velocity diffusion

, 2016
This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for tropical climate model with the fractional velocity diffusion which was derived by Frierson-Majda-Pauluis in [16]. We establish the local well-posedness of strong solutions to this generalized model.
