Abstract
This paper investigates the dynamiceffects of rainfall shocks on agroecosystems productivity.The analysis estimates a panel data model ofcereal production in southern Italy. It documents theadverse effects of a reduction in rainfall on theagroecosystem productivity both in the short run andthe long run. It investigates how increasing the levelof spatial crop diversity can mitigate this negativeimpact. The empirical evidence shows how higherdiversity supports resilience and maintains thesystem productivity under challenging climaticconditions. (JEL Q24, Q54, Q57)
