Abstract

This study investigates the effects of climate change and internet access on cotton yield disparities between African nations and other cotton-producing countries from 1995 to 2019. Utilizing econometric analysis based on a decomposition model, the findings reveal that African countries underperform relative to their counterparts in cotton yields. The study suggests that mitigating temperature variability, expanding internet access, and enhancing education, financial liberalization, and labor market flexibility, have the potential to reduce this yield gap. However, rising temperatures exacerbate the disparity and hinder progress in closing the yield gap.
气候变化、互联网和非洲国家与世界其他地区之间的棉花产量差距
本研究调查了1995年至2019年气候变化和互联网接入对非洲国家和其他棉花生产国之间棉花产量差异的影响。利用基于分解模型的计量经济分析,研究结果表明,非洲国家在棉花产量方面的表现低于其他国家。该研究表明,缓解温度变化、扩大互联网接入、加强教育、金融自由化和劳动力市场灵活性,有可能缩小这一收益差距。然而,不断上升的气温加剧了这一差距,阻碍了缩小产量差距的进展。
