| Resumen: | The paper analyzes the economic impacts of climate change-induced fluctuations on the performance of Ethiopia’s agriculture, using a countrywide computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. We model the impacts on agriculture using a Ricardian model, where current agricultural production is modelled as a function of temperature and precipitation, among other things, and where future agriculture is assumed to follow the same climate function. The effect of overall climate change is projected to be relatively benign until approximately 2030, but will become considerably worse thereafter. Our simulation results indicate that, over a 50-year period, the projected reduction in agricultural productivity may lead to reductions in average income of some 20 per cent compared with the outcome that would have prevailed in the absence of climate change. This indicates that adaptation policies-both government planned and those that ease autonomous adaptation by farmers-will be crucial for Ethiopia’s future development. |

| Título: | Community forests, carbon sequestration and REDD+: evidence from Ethiopia |

| Resumen: | REDD+ is one of the tools under development to mitigate climate change, but it is not yet clear how to appropriately bring in the approximately 25 per cent of developing country forests that are managed by communities. Drawing on the economics of collective action literature, the authors attempt to shed light on whether forest collective action itself sequesters carbon. Using satellite imagery combined with household and community data from Ethiopia, they examine whether community forests (CFs) with high levels of collective action attributes known to be associated with better management have more carbon than other systems. Although these results should be considered indicative due to the nature of the data, the analysis suggests that in the absence of dedicated sequestration policies the quality of local-level collective action offers at best marginal carbon benefits. Specific incentives like REDD+ may therefore play important roles in delivering climate change benefits from CFs in low-income countries. |

| Título: | Institutions, sustainable land use and consumer welfare: the case of forest and grazing lands in northern Ethiopia |

| Resumen: | Land is an essential factor of production. Institutions that govern its efficient use determine the sustainability of this essential resource. In Ethiopia all land is publicly owned. Such an institutional setting is said to have resulted in major degradation of Ethiopia’s land resources and dissipation of the resource rent. An alternative to this is assigning private property institution. In this paper, we examine consumer welfare effects of change in institutional setting to communal forest and grazing lands using a dataset covering 200 cross-section households in Northern Ethiopia. Findings suggest that changing the current institutional setting could indeed be welfare reducing. |
