Abstract

This issue of Agricultural Economics is a special issue containing articles on model performance in assessing the effects of climate change, bioenergy policy, and socioeconomics on agriculture. 皇冠体育app contributions present results from a global economic model intercomparison activity undertaken as part of the AgMIP Project (www.agmip.org). 皇冠体育app origins of the comparison activities can be traced to a project that was organized by the OECD in late 2010 to compare results from three models. 皇冠体育app current phase of the research includes 10 models and was designed in part to support of the IPCC fifth assessment report (AR5). 皇冠体育app special issue includes seven peer-reviewed articles that present thematic results from a range of modeling strategies, with partial and general equilibrium modeling as a high level distinction but a myriad of differences within these two model types. A central common element is harmonization on biophysical effects using crop models and socioeconomic effects using drivers from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways developed as part of the AR5 process. 皇冠体育app special issue provides broad insights into how the modeling communities approached the interactions of climate, socioeconomics, bioenergy policy on agricultural outcomes, including land use, prices, consumption, and production.
