In Argentina, primary sector and agroindustry have a high incidence in exports, regional GDP and regional employment. There has been some research in the estimation of the effects of climate change and climate variability in crops productivity of Argentina. However, those estimations are not translated into an economic loss valuation. Therefore, in this work different approaches to measure the impact of climate change and climate variability will be described, with the objective of propose a preliminary model of economic valuation. Regarding the case of study case, this model will be apply to measure the economic loss of events of extreme droughts in soybean production, which is the most import agricultural commodity exported in Argentina. This line of research constitutes the first step to provide economic valuation of loss of income necessary for the calibration of index-based insurance, climate derivatives or for the integration of fiscal funds necessary to finance adaptation or mitigations strategies to climate change. La variabilidad climática impacta en todas las actividades económicas, pero especialmente en el sector agropecuario. En el caso de Argentina, dicho sector primario, conjuntamente con el complejo agro-industrial, tienen una alta relevancia económica en términos de generación de divisas, producto bruto geográfico y generación de empleo. Actualmente se han desarrollado estudios que estiman los efectos del cambio y variabilidad climática sobre los rindes de los principales cultivos de la Región Pampeana y de otras regiones del país. No obstante, esos estudios carecen de valuaciones de índole económica. Por ello, en este trabajo se realizará una síntesis de los distintos enfoques utilizados para medir el impacto del cambio climático, y de los aquellos que abordan el fenómeno de variabilidad climática. A su vez se brindara una primera estimación económica de la pérdida de producción de soja generada por la ocurrencia de eventos climáticos extremos, particularmente eventos de sequía. Las estimaciones son de carácter agregado y son realzadas a los fines de establecer órdenes de magnitud para dimensionar la problemática. Como línea derivada, se plantea la calibración de modelos puntuales para la estimación de pérdidas económicas específicas y focalizadas que sirvan de base para la construcción de instrumentos financieros de cobertura o bien fondos fiscales de adaptación y mitigación de eventos climáticos extremos. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/RIMF/article/view/1530 spa Centro de Investigación en Métodos Cuantitativos Aplicados a la Economía y la Gestión (CMA) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/RIMF/article/view/1530/2165 Revista de Investigación en Modelos Financieros; Vol. 2 (2015): Revista de Investigación en Modelos Financieros; 30-57 2250-6861 2250-687X ECONOMIC VALUATION OF WHETHEAR EXTREME EVENTS IN AGRICULTURE: THE CASE OF SOYBEAN IN ARGENTINA MEDICIÓN ECONÓMICA DE EVENTOS CLIMÁTICOS EXTREMOS EN EL SECTOR AGRICOLA: EL CASO DE LA SOJA EN ARGENTINA info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=modelfin&d=1530_oai
