The effect of climate change and adaptation policy on agricultural production in Eastern Africa (2016, methodology): “A number of prior studies (Molua 2008; Barrios, Ouattara, and Strobl 2008; Lobell and Burke 2008; Schlenker and Lobell 2010; Rowhani et al. 2011; Burke et al. 2011; Lobel et al. 2011; Blanc 2012; Ward, Florax, and Flores-Lagunes 2013) which estimate regional and country level production functions…”

Agricultural technologies for climate change in developing countries: Policy options for innovation and technology diffusion (2012, background): “Developing countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change because they depend heavily on agriculture, tend to be hot already, lack infrastructure to respond well to increased variability, and have limited capital to invest in innovative adaptations (see Barrios et al., 2008).”
The Use of Panel Models in Assessments of Climate Impacts on Agriculture (2017, background): “Weather is a key determinant of crop production and is usually represented by the effect of precipitation and temperature (e.g., Barrios, Ouattara, and Strobl 2008; Schlenker and Lobell 2010).”
Is Cassava the Answer to African Climate Change Adaptation? (2012, background): “Changing the staple food crop in a farming community, especially when subsistence agriculture is prevalent, has significant social and cultural implications, including gender dimensions (Barrios et al., 2008; Thornton et al., 2011).”
Smallholder productivity and weather shocks: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania (2017, background): “The economies of countries in SSA heavily depend on a smallholder-based agricultural sector, which in turn makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change (Ziervogel et al., 2008; Barrios et al., 2008; TZG, 2009).”
The Effects of Weather Shocks on Economic Activity: What are the Channels of Impact? (2018, unknown): “12 See, among others, Barrios, Bazoumana, and Strobl (2008); Barrios, Bertinelli, and Strobl (2006, 2010); Schlenker and Lobell (2010); Feng, Krueger, and Oppenheimer (2010); Lobell, Schlenker, and Costa-Roberts (2011); and Lanzafame (2014) for evidence from emerging market and developing economies…”
Adaptation to climate change in Sub-Saharan agriculture: assessing the evidence and rethinking the drivers (2014, background): “Characterised by crop production and traditional livestock, it is the sector where the majority of the labour force is employed and contributes to a considerable part of the GDP, about 40 per cent (Barrios et al., 2008).”
