| Title: | Climate Change, Agriculture, and Water Quality in the Chesapeake Bay Region | | | Creator: | Abler, D.; Shortle, J.; Carmichael, J.; Horan, R. | | | Contributor: | American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA) | | | Identifier: | http://agecon.lib.umn.edu/cgi-bin/pdf_view.pl?paperid=2595 | | | Publisher: | University of Minnesota | | | Date Created: | 2001-01-00 | | | Format: | application/html | | | Type: | Text.TechReport | | | Description: | Agriculture is a source of several positive and negative environmental externalities. Several studies have been directed at the effects of climate change on the negative environmental externalities from agricultural production, including runoff, leaching, and erosion. These studies excel at modeling the biological and physical relationships and processes underlying runoff, leaching, and erosion. However, they do not consider economic responses by farmers to climate change. Instead, they implicitly assume that farmers will continue to produce the same crops and livestock on the same land using the same management practices and technologies. This paper analyzes the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture and water quality in the U.S. Chesapeake Bay Region for the year 2030, taking into account economic responses by farmers to climate change. | | | Subjects - NAL Thesaurus: | climate change/ corn/ water quality/ groundwater contamination/ farm management/ watershed management/ decision making/ agricultural economics/ econometric models/ simulation models/ Chesapeake Bay/ Delaware/ District of Columbia/ Maryland/ New York/ Pennsylvania/ Virginia/ West Virginia/ | | | Supplemental Subjects: | maize | | | Coverage Jurisdiction: | Chesapeake Bay/ Delaware/ District of Columbia/ Maryland/ New York/ Pennsylvania/ Virginia/ West Virginia | | | Language: | eng | | | Notes: | Selected Paper, 2001 Annual Meeting, August 5-8, Chicago, Illinois | | | | | Source: | Selected Paper, 2001 Annual Meeting, August 5-8, 2001, Chicago, Illinois | |
