Climate variability, innovation and firm performance: evidence from the European agricultural sector

Sabrina Auci, Nicolò Barbieri, Manuela Coromaldi, Melania Michetti · 2021 · European Review of Agricultural Economics

Summary. Climate variability drives agricultural firms to develop adaptation innovations, which significantly improve their performance. Using panel data from European farms between 2007 and 2017, the authors find that firms generating knowledge about climate adaptation technologies perform better, particularly in aquaculture and fishing sectors in northern Europe. Innovation emerges as a key mechanism linking climate stress to business success.
