Das Forschungsparadigma der Agrarökonomie ist menschliches Rationalverhalten in einer von Ressourcenknappheit geprägten Welt. Die Forschungspraxis stellt quantitative Modellierungen von Optimierungsverhalten in den Mittelpunkt. Beratung von Handlungsträgern bei der Lösung praktischer Probleme ist hiermit jedoch kaum möglich. Hingegen leisten qualitative Forschungsansätze insbesondere in der Entwicklungsländerforschung interessante Beiträge. Fallstudien werden erst seit einigen Jahren häufiger verwendet und derzeit stärker diskutiert, partizipative Aktionsforschung bereits seit den 70er Jahren. Andere qualitative Ansätze sind im Bereich der Agrarökonomik wenig bekannt. Beispielhafte Dissertationen aus der Veröffentlichungsreihe "Forschungsberichte zur Ökonomie im Gartenbau" zeigen aber, daß qualitative Forschungsmethoden auch in der deutschen Agrarforschung erfolgreich eingesetzt werden

AbstractClimate change is not just a topic for the future—it is already producing real consequences. Economically, the issue has three principal dimensions: impacts, that is, how vulnerable are we; adaptation, that is, what can we do to reduce the impacts by altering operations; and mitigation, that is, what can we do to reduce the drivers causing climate change and thus the long‐term extent of climate change? All of these issues have economic dimensions, including appraising damages and the value of effects reducing actions, as well as the formulation of efficient policies. Thus, it is not surprising that this is both an active agricultural economic research area and one with many more research possibilities. We review the impacts, adaptation, and mitigation literature, identifying issues, summarizing main findings, commenting on methods, and pointing out research needs, with a special focus on what agricultural/applied economists have to offer.
