Economic Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture Sector of Coastal Odisha

摘要

The present study tries to explore the economic impact of climate change on agriculture of the coastal zone of Odisha using Ricardian approach. The climate response function of the farm level net revenue has been estimated through pooled cross-section and time series regression analysis. The results reveal that most of the climate variables and control variables have significant influence on the net revenue per hectare of the region. Using the estimated trends of the various seasons over 30 years, it is found that the rising temperature might adversely affect the coastal zone's agriculture of Odisha.
