  3. The role of international trade in managing food security risks from climate change

    20 Mar 2015 | Publications | Contributor(s): Uris Lantz C Baldos, Tom Hertel

    International trade plays an important role in facilitating global food security in the face of a changing climate. In considering this issue, it is useful to distinguish between two different time scales: inter-annual and inter-decadal. Inter-annual adjustments in international trade can play an...

  19. A copula-based joint deficit index for droughts

    31 Mar 2010 | Publications | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju
