A Study in Development Policy
Overview of the Ethiopian Economy.- Economy-Wide and Regional Effects of Climate Change.- Economy-Wide and Regional Effects of Planned Adaptation.- Structural Change and Climate-Resilient Development.
Amsalu Woldie Yalew attempts to address the direct and indirect economic effects of climate change, adaptation costs, and adaptation finance in developing countries with emphasis to Ethiopia using a static computable general equilibrium (CGE) model coupled with a regional module. The results show that the economy-wide effects of climate change are profound. Planned public adaptation that aims to fully neutralize climate change-induced agricultural productivity shocks may help to avert the aggregate effects but with residual effects. The results also indicate that structural change underpins climate-resilient development as it contributes to dampen the adverse consequences of climate change on aggregate GDP and households´ welfare.
