Impacts of Climate Change on Crop Yields in Magway Township (Kyi Maung Maung Thin, 2022) Kyi Maung Maung Thin The world is facing problems of climate change. Climate change mostly influences rural communities’ livelihood. In Myanmar, climate change mainly affects agriculture, forest, biodiversity, public health, and water resources. This study aims to describe the crops production in Magway Township and to examine the relationship between climate situations, harvested area and crop yields in Magway Township. The panel data consist of six crops for the period from 2000 to 2020. Fixed effects model and random effects model are applied to examine the impacts of climate change on crop yields. The random effects model is found as an appropriate model. When diagnostic tests are considered to examine heteroskedasticity and auto-correlation in the random effects model, it is found that there is heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in the random effects model. Thus, feasible generalized least square model is used to remedy heteroskedasticity and auto-correlation in the model. According to the feasible generalized least square model, rainfall and harvested area are statistically significant. It is found that rainfall is negatively related to crop yields but harvested area is positively related to crop yields. 2022-09-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8327
