Agricultural drought impact evaluation model: Description of components

Various components of the Agricultural Drought Impact Evaluation Model are described in this paper, which is a second paper in a series of three. Various components describe methodology to estimate yields of various cereal grain and forage crops under drought conditions; to simulate the effects of the drought on economic and financial performance of the farm firm; to aggregate micro level results into regional (or provincial) level entities; to estimate secondary impacts of the drought both on economic activity and employment levels.
