Item Restricted Impacts of storms and typhoons on rice production in the Philippines(2013-10) Casanova, Nathaniel N.; Castillo, Kim Edbonn C.; Ducanes, Geoffrey M.This study estimates the impact of storms and typhoons on paddy rice productivity and on the net incomes of rice farmer. This study uses fixed-effects regression to estimate and determine the magnitude and directional of the impact of storm and typhoons on paddy rice productivity utilizing the cost and returns matrices of the Rice-Based Farm Household Survey (RBFHS) and typhoon data from the unpublished records of PAGASA. It has been found that: (1) there is no conclusive evidence that the number of storms and typhoons exhibit a significant impact on rice productivity and farmer incomes, (2) the intensity of a storm exhibit lagged effects and leads to a positive significant impact on rice productivity and farmer incomes in later periods, and (3) the intensity of a storm and typhoons has an immediate negative impact on paddy rice productivity and rice farmer incomes.
