Observational study reveals climate effects on rice harvests in the Philippines, suggesting economic implications.

This research aims to assess how climate variability affects rice harvests in the Philippines.
Employed a bin-based framework using daily climate data
Utilized panel data regression with feasible generalized least squares estimation
Analyzed daily precipitation, temperature, and wind speed impacts on rice harvests
Identified a nonlinear relationship between climate variables and rice harvest
Noted an increase in days with high temperatures and heavy rainfall compared to the past decade
An additional day with wind speed of at least 10 m/s reduces rice harvest by 8.85%
An extra day of rainfall at 54 mm decreases harvest by 4.13%, and at 34 °C reduces it by 0.581%

Rowena A. Dorado (2026) studied this question.
