Abstract

I examine the effects of climate change adaptation on agricultural productivity using a unique dataset from a nonrandomized experiment involving 1,811 adapted and 3,280 nonadapted farm households across four African countries. By employing 2SLS and simultaneous-equations model estimations, I find that implementing adaptation strategies significantly increases crop yields by 281.1 kilograms per hectare (23.3%). Furthermore, my analysis uncovers that the impacts vary in magnitude depending on the specific adaptation measures, crop varieties, and countries involved. Ultimately, the study highlights that farmers' capacities to adapt are primarily driven by their access to information sources and working capital. Lastly, additional climatic factors beyond rainfall and temperature play a crucial role in crop development.
