Part I: Microeconomic modelling: Risk management, adaptation measures and stakeholders' perception -- Ch.1. Crop Production functions and efficiency models: Climate change and water adaptation policy over competitiveness and social disparities of crop production in the Mediterranean -- Ch.2.Using ecological modelling tools to inform policy makers of potential changes in crop distribution: an example with cacao crops in Latin America -- Ch.3.The effects of climate change on poverty and income distribution: A case study for rural Mexico -- Ch.4. The value of meteorological information in agrarian producers' decision making: introducing analytic decision models -- Ch.5. Participatory process: Approaches for assessing farmer behavior towards adopting climate change adaptation strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Part II: Macroeconomic and Complexity Modelling: Global challenges and multi-agent interactions in Mitigation and Adaptation Policy analysis -- Ch.6. CGE models in environmental policy analysis: A review and Spanish case study -- Ch.7. General equilibrium models: A computable general equilibrium model to analyze the effects of an extended drought on economic sectors in Mexico -- Ch.8. Costs and benefits of Adaptation: "Economic appraisal of adaptation options for the agriculture sector -- Ch.9. The impacts of climate change on crop yields in Tanzania: comparing an empirical and a process-based model -- Ch.10. Development of a prioritization tool for climate change adaptation measures in the forestry sector - A Nicaraguan case study.

This book compiles examples of the most widely used tools in agricultural economics that have been developed and used to analyze the impact of global change in agricultural activity. The research papers on this topic are plenty but lack the methodology. The content of this book can be used by research students exploring additional methods in agricultural economics.
