Evaluating the effects of climate extremes on crop yield, production and price using multivariate distributions: A new copula application

Climate anomalies pose risks to agriculture and food security. To assess the impact, this paper models the complex dependences of climate extreme indices and the crop-related variables: yield, production, and price of a crop. Using a comprehensive copula-based analysis, the conditional distributions...
