Title: Capacity to Adapt to Temperature Effects on Crop Yields Evidence from Rice Production in Japan

Abstract: This paper evaluates both short-term and long-term impacts of temperature rise considering non-linear impacts of extremely hightemperature events and extremely cold temperature events by using panel data. Long run adaptations seem to alleviate the cold damage impact on rice. Evidence shows that the responsiveness of rice yield to warming is likely to be improved in northern Japan but reduced in southern Japan, implying that the adaptation toward extreme heat in relatively warm region is of considerable importance in Japan.
