  Examining the impact of climate change on migration through the agricultural Channel: evidence from district level panel data from Bangladesh

  South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics, 2014

  This paper studies how changes in climatic variables such as temperature and rainfall impact migration through agriculture. The researchers use district level data for 3 inter-census periods to analyse historical migration related outcomes. We find that fluctuations in temperature and rainfall contributed to a decline in agricultural productivity as measured by revenues from agriculture.

The report summarises overall findings in a ‘traffic light’ rating (red, amber, green) and sets out some of the contested nature of findings. It also summarises the evidence to understand climate signals as drivers of development.
