Resumen
This document analyses the potential effects of climate change on production decisions in the agricultural sector in Colombia. Using microdata on agricultural households and spatial data on average temperature and precipitation, we find that under the 2011-2040 climate change scenario cash crop, food crop and other crops are affected in different magnitudes. Under the empirical strategy that we use, we demonstrate that the effect is not homogeneous in the national territory, although predominant patterns are observed.
