Beyond Mitigation: Planning for Climate Change Adaptation

Adapting to Climate Change

This paper examines the optimal time to adapt to climate change. We take the perspective of a farmer growing a crop in a stochastic environment. The farmer faces stochastic seasonal growth, which makes harvest at the end of any season a random variable. Within a season, crop biomass is assumed to grow according to a continuoustime Itô process. The standard deviation rate of the Itô process is i...
