The impact of climate change on grape yields: Evidence from Australia

Precipitation patterns are projected to change in different directions across wine regions Australia, but temperatures increase all regions, making them less prone frosts more heatwaves and arid. This research aims estimate how climate could affect grape yields Australia. is, our knowledge, the first study using a panel data framework potential impact of on yields. involves two-step approach which step consists estimating weather fixed effects model, second projections estimates from step. We also novel hybrid model that interacts with climate, potentially accounting for long-run adaptation. The results suggest by 2050 may lead higher most lower some country’s largest regions. Put differently, an be expected coolest while decrease hottest Consequently, average yield Australia very little.
