Climate Change, Adaptation, and Economic Outcomes in Rice Farming: Empirical Findings from Myanmar’s Delta Region
Description
This dataset contained original and processed dataset that used to analysis climate change impact on major rice growing areas in Myanmar. The primary dataset used in this study is publicly available data from the Harvard Dataverse. Socioeconomic data were obtained form International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). 2023. “Myanmar Agricultural Performance Survey (MAPS), Round 3.” Household- and Community-Level Surveys and 40 years climate normals temperature and rainfall data and future climate scenarios are combined to analysis the impact of climate change. These data are available upon formal request from the relevant government agency. Future climate projection data were gathered from the World Bank’s Climate Change Knowledge Portal. This study examines the economic impact of climate change on crop revenue in the Delta region, a critical area for Myanmar’s rice production. Using the Ricardian approach, the research analyzes the sensitivity of crop revenue to changes in seasonal temperature and rainfall, utilizing primary data from 1,115 major rice farmers. The findings reveal that climate change has a significant influence on crop revenue, with strong negativeimpacts and limited positive effects in the study area. Based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) climate projection scenarios, the study projects that future climate change will further reduce crop revenue.
