Abstract Much research has been carried out on modelling soil erosion rates under different climatic and land use conditions. Although some studies have addressed the issue of reduced crop productivity due to erosion, few focused economic loss in terms agricultural production gross domestic product (GDP). In this study, modellers economists come together carry an evaluation European Union (EU). The study combines biophysical macroeconomic models estimate cost by water EU. rates, derived from...
Abstract Extreme heat undermines the working capacity of individuals, resulting in lower productivity, and thus economic output. Here we analyse present future damages due to reduced labour productivity caused by extreme Europe. For analysis current impacts, focused on heatwaves occurring four recent anomalously hot years (2003, 2010, 2015, 2018) compared our findings historical period 1981–2010. In selected years, total estimated attributed amounted 0.3–0.5% European gross domestic product...
Abstract. A variety of models have been applied to assess the economic losses disasters, which most common ones are input–output (IO) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. In addition, an increasing number scholars developed hybrid approaches: one that combines both or either them in combination with noneconomic methods. While IO CGE widely used, they mainly compared on theoretical grounds. Few studies disaster impacts different model types a systematic way for same geographical...
In the past decades, agricultural landscapes have simplified with crop specialization and reduction of seminatural covers leading to a decline biodiversity (biodiversity-driven) ecosystem services. This study measures impact landscape agrobiodiversity on economy southern Europe. The analysis relies regression analyses measure effect value added farms. A regionalized Computable General Equilibrium model is then used examine how these results affect at large. show that increasing local...
This study proposes a novel method to assess the overall economic effects of agricultural droughts using coupled agronomic-economic approach that accounts for direct and indirect impacts this hazard in economy. The proposed methodology is applied Italy, where years showing different drought severity levels were analysed. Agricultural stress was measured fraction Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR). Using comprehensive, field-level dataset on yields, fAPAR-based statistical...

We present a tractable methodology to estimate climate change costs at 1 × km grid resolution. Climate are obtained as projected gross domestic product (GDP) changes, under different global shared socio-economic pathway–representative concentration pathway (SSP-RCP) scenarios, from regional (multiple European NUTS levels) version of the Intertemporal Computable Equilibrium System (ICES) model. Local by downscaling GDP according urbanized area estimated grid-level model that accounts for...
Farmers' adaptation responses to water conservation policies involve a complex decision-making process that depends on range of criteria, including availability, profits, and risks, which are in turn dependent (and might have consequences at) broader scale processes systems the macroeconomy. The non-consideration interactions between within natural human often leads unforeseen sub-optimal policy design. There exists fundamental need improve our understanding human-water (e.g. hydro-economic)...
Little is known about the economy-wide repercussions of water buyback, which may include relevant feedbacks on output economic sectors at a regional and supra-regional scale. Limited studies available rely stand-alone Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models that represent competition for explicitly, but this approach presents significant data methodological challenges in areas where mature markets are not place –the case most regions worldwide. To bridge gap, paper couples microeconomic...
This paper estimates the direct and indirect socio-economic impacts of 2000 flood that took place in Po river basin (Italy) using a combination Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis. A risk map for whole is generated as function hazard, exposure vulnerability. The economic losses are assessed CGE model, whereas social estimated with spatial analysis tools combined impact expressed physical characteristics extreme event, vulnerability adaptive capacity....
In this paper we developed and tested an integrated methodology for assessing direct indirect economic impacts of flooding. The combines a spatial analysis damage to physical stocks with general equilibrium approach using regionally-calibrated (to Italy) version Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) global model. We applied the model 2000 Po river flood. To account uncertainty in induced effects on regional economies, explored three disruption two recovery scenarios. results prove that: i)...
This paper describes a methodology to develop Computable General Equilibrium model with sub-national detail starting from global database and presenting the country-level as highest resolution. procedure is demonstratively applied Italy, but can be transferred any country/macro-region, provided regional data availability. Increasing spatial resolution of CGE particularly useful capture local specificities not only in response given policy shocks, also environmental impacts, as, for instance,...
