Developed using advanced machine learning, simulation, and data mining techniques, these country briefs provide detailed risk assessments of key economic indicators. Produced by IFPRI, the analysis leverages economywide models to offer insights into countries’ vulnerabilities and economic uncertainties.
This initial research addresses two critical questions:
- What is the country’s current vulnerability to world market prices and climate risks that are consistent with historical data?
- How much do these shocks contribute to the country’s current vulnerability, and which shocks contribute most to economic uncertainty?
The findings represent a preliminary impact assessment designed to evaluate the exposure of countries and key population groups to economic and environmental risks.
Future research will explore the effectiveness of various risk management strategies, including:
- Boosting sectoral productivity to mitigate negative impacts,
- Adopting technologies and practices that reduce productivity uncertainty, and
- Diversifying production into less risk-prone sectors.
