Assessing the impact of agro-climatic factors and farm characteristics on the yield variation of the Norwegian fruit sector

Main drivers of ag. yields: Technology, R&D (new hybrids etc.), Weather, Etc.; Common sense and anecdotal observations (remember the Tromsø presentation) revealed extreme events tended to impact wide geographic areas; This was called the «systemic» nature of agriculture No semi-aggregation / far...

Description
Summary:Main drivers of ag. yields: Technology, R&D (new hybrids etc.), Weather, Etc.; Common sense and anecdotal observations (remember the Tromsø presentation) revealed extreme events tended to impact wide geographic areas; This was called the «systemic» nature of agriculture No semi-aggregation / farm-level: Not the boring corn, maize, wheat / fruits; No OLS-like Pearson correlation or functional form approach for conditioning spatial correlations on weather / SDM; Finally, if we are smart enough to set the explanatory proxies in a meaningful way presumably we can make the distinction between the effects of, say draught and extreme heat.; And much more in policy relevance
