      abstract = {This study examines the impact of climate change on  cropland in Africa, using a Ricardian
cross-sectional  approach. Relying on farm data from an 11-country survey of  over 9500 farmers,
annual net revenue is regressed on  climate and other variables. The study confirms that  current
climate affects the net revenues of farms across  Africa. Applying these results to possible future
climates  reveals that dryland farms are especially climate  sensitive. Even as early as 2020,
climate change could have  strong negative impacts on currently dry and hot locations.  By 2100,
dryland crop net revenues could rise by 51% if  future warming is mild and wet but fall by 43% if
future  climates are hot and dry. The crop net revenues of  currently irrigated farms are likely to be
least affected.},
