  • An Empirical Analysis of Climate and Risk on Rural Productive Lands

    Creator:
    Finer, Cassie R.
    Abstract:
    Efficient and effective climate policies require cost estimates supported by empirical analysis at multiple spatial scales. Fine-scale spatial analysis of climate impacts for rural land markets represents a gap in the current climate change economics literature. In this dissertation I estimate relationships between climate, risk and parcel-level land values for...
