  2. Workshop report: Integrated Modeling of Climate Impacts on Agricultural Productivity and Socio-Economic Status (IMCASE) in the Philippines by Sheinkman, Michael

    Published 2015
    “…Workshop presentations and discussions accomplished the following objectives: (1) present the concepts and components of Integrated Food Security Modeling and shared descriptions, methodologies, and progress of work for modeling activities currently underway in the Philippines, regionally, and globally, including climate models, bio-physical crop models, and econometric models; (2) identify challenges and uncertainties that constrain the accuracy of model outputs, including lack of access to data in formats suitable for model input, data quality issues, methods of interpolation and extrapolation used to create gridded data, and measures of uncertainty when models are combined; and (3) identify common interests and potential synergies between modeling activities along with follow-up actions in the Philippines to faciliatate use of integrated models to simulate impacts of policy options for food security and climate risk management. …”
