Abstract

This paper applies the concept of damage coefficients introduced in Houba and Kremers (2008) to provide an estimate of the cost of climate change - in particular
the cost of changes in mean regional temperature and precipitation - to the fruit vegetation sector. We concentrate on the production of apples in the German 'Alte
Land' region. The estimated cost of climate change on apple-growing in the 'Alte
Land' is dependent on the assumptions regarding developments in the rentability
of land not related to climate change in the fruit sector.
