Abstract

This study analyzes the social welfare impact of climate change on dried red pepper production in Korea, considering both direct effects on yield and indirect effects through pest and disease (P&D) outbreaks. Three models were used: a P&D damage model, a yield model, and an equilibrium displacement model (EDM). Results show that while rising temperatures increase yields and social welfare, P&D damages significantly offset these gains, leading to substantial social welfare losses. The difference in social welfare between scenarios with and without P&D damage increases over time, highlighting the need for effective pest control and damage prediction.
