“…However, a limited number of studies applied the Ricardian framework in the context of Indian agriculture. Some of the studies using cross-sectional models include Dinar et al (1998), Sanghi and Mendelsohn (2008), Kumar (2011), Kar and Das (2015), and Mishra, Sahu, and Sahoo (2016). Furthermore, a systematic study has done by Kumar and Parikh (2001) to evaluate the impact of climate sensitivity on crop productivity in Indian agriculture.…”

This study empirically examines the effect of climate change on the yields of primary food as well as non‐food crops in India. The present study uses annual time‐series data of seven major crops such as rice, wheat, pulses, rapeseeds and mustard, cotton, sugarcane, and groundnut for 58 years (1961–20 17) to assess the influence climatic variables namely rainfall, maximum, and minimum temperatures on crop yields. The empirical findings of the study indicate that a significant effect on major crop yields from rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, but the level of impact varies across the crops studied. A rise in rainfall has an adverse effect on food crops except for pulses, however it has a positive relationship with non‐food crops throughout the study period. Further, the average maximum temperature has a positive influence on food and non‐food crops excluding rice. The average minimum temperature has an adverse impact on non‐food crops, but it has a positive association with food crops. The adverse effects of climatic factors on crop yields may be likely to pose severe implications for food and nutritional security. Conclusively, this study recommends taking adaptation activities to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change.

“…Although the agriculture and allied sectors contribute only 15.39% to the gross state domestic product (GSDP), it provides direct and indirect livelihood opportunities to approximately 60% of the total workforce (Mishra et al 2016). Rice is grown in 68% of the 6.6 million hectare gross cropped area (Government of Odisha 2013).…”

Vulnerabilities to flood hazards among rural households in India

Flooding constitutes the most predominant natural disaster in India. The degree and causes of vulnerability to flood risk vary by society, geographical region and over time. The rural people of India are highly vulnerable to flood hazards due to high dependence on natural resources for livelihood and poor socioeconomic situations. The information regarding the degree of vulnerability of these people is limited. In order to formulate improved adaption policies and effective programmes to reduce vulnerability, it is crucial to quantify the vulnerability of rural households affected by floods at a regional level. Our study provides insight into the vulnerability of rural households affected by floods in India. We use primary data of 220 flood-prone rural households of Odisha state in India for analysis. The vulnerability is analysed using the Livelihood Vulnerability Index and the Socioeconomic Vulnerability Index. Our results show that these households are vulnerable to flood in more than one dimension. Sociodemographic characteristics such as a low literacy rate, a high dependency ratio and a weak housing structure increase these residents' vulnerability. Access to social networks and social institutions plays a significant role in uplifting poor rural households. Our study concludes that the vulnerability of a Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (

“…To date, no study has been conducted to measure the economic impacts of climate change on overall crop farming in Bangladesh. Some studies have already been conducted in the neighboring IJCCSM 11,3 countries such as Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan to assess the economic impacts of climate change on agriculture (Seo et al, 2005;Kumar, 2011;Mishra et al, 2015;Arshad et al, 2016). All the studies reported the significant impacts of climate change on agriculture, but a wide variability in loss and gain in different regions.…”

Purpose-Changes in climate may have both beneficial and harmful effects on crop yields. However, the effects will be more in countries whose economy depends on agriculture. This study aims to measure the economic impacts of climate change on crop farming in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach-A Ricardian model was used to estimate the relationship between net crop income and climate variables. Historical climate data and farm household level data from all climatic zones of Bangladesh were collected for this purpose. A regression model was then developed of net crop
