Heat and economics: Climate change’s influence on Madagascar’s GDP

The study employed a rigorous methodology to investigate the complex relationships between GDP growth and key economic and environmental variables in Madagascar. Through the application of the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model, we have illuminated significant insights into the interconnectedness of GDP per capita, temperature variations, agricultural production, and agricultural land area

The results illuminate the intricate interplay between economic activities and climatic variations, emphasizing the susceptibility of the economy to temperature changes. This underscores the urgency of formulating adaptive strategies that mitigate the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations, enabling not only economic growth but also environmental sustainability-a synergy crucial for Madagascar's prosperous future
