About this book

This book compiles examples of the most widely used tools  in agricultural economics that have been developed and used to analyze the impact of global change in agricultural activity.  The research papers on this topic are plenty but lack the methodology.  The content of this book can be used by research students exploring additional methods in agricultural economics.

About the editor

  Dr. Sonia Quiroga (Ph.D. on Economics, Complutense University, 2006) is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Economics of the University of Alcala. Her research focuses on the quantitative relationship of climate and economy especially in understanding the climate risk implications on agriculture, ecosystems and health, and the potential co-benefits on integrated adaptation measures. Methodological approaches include the econometric estimation of empirical relationships, CGE modeling, public participation methods and risk management tools among others. 
She has been part of several national and international projects funded by the European Commission, World Bank, World Meteorological Organization or United Nations Framework for Climate Change among others. She has published in a variety of international research journals.
