(UMT, Lahore, 2015) Shukrillo Abdukayumov
The Economic Impact of Climate Change on the Major Agricultural Crops in Punjab is analyzed from 1970 to 2010, located in Punjab region of Pakistan. For data requisites used twelve districts of Punjab region. The study used panel data and preferred panel data over time series due to unavailability of data requisites. Temperature minimum deviations, temperature maximum deviations, precipitation deviations, number on tubewells, sale of fertilizers, agricultural prices and population density were used to measure the impact upon productivity of wheat and productivity of cotton. Study found significant impact of temperature maximum deviations, precipitation deviations, population density on wheat productivity in the long run while in short run only temperature maximum deviations has significant impact on wheat productivity. In case of cotton productivity model the study found significant impact of number of tubewells, cotton price, and population density on cotton productivity in the long run and in short run study found significant impact of precipitation on cotton productivity.
