Agricultural research has fostered productivity growth, but the historical influence of anthropogenic climate change on that growth not been quantified. We develop a robust econometric model weather effects global agricultural total factor (TFP) and combine this with counterfactual scenarios to evaluate impacts past trends TFP. Our baseline indicates reduced TFP by about 21% since 1961, slowdow...
