Crop insurance premium subsidies affect patterns of crop acreage for two reasons. First,
holding insurance coverage constant, premium subsidies directly increase expected profit …

Climate change is expected to reduce crop yields, but knowledge on how it affects
agricultural land use is still limited. This paper empirically investigates the induced cropland …

We quantify long-run adaptation of US corn and soybean yields to changes in temperature
and precipitation over 1951–2017. Results show that although the two crops became more …
