AQB Professor, Dr. Sameh Hallaq, publishes a new study on climate change and its impact on Palestine agriculture

Dr. Sameh Hallaq has successfully co-published with Yousuf Daas their recent paper titled “The Impact of Climate Change on the Palestinian Sectoral Reallocation of Labor” in the Journal of International Review of Applied Economics at Routledge publications. This study comes to light as a response to the Open Society University Network’s focused research on the severe and extreme climate events impacting the whole globe. The study of Dr. Hallaq and Daas concentrates on the critical overlaps of climate change and economic dynamics in Palestine, particularly, the agricultural economy. The paper examines yearly variations in climate change, such as rainfall and temperature, across the West Bank from 1999 to 2018 to assess their influence on individuals’ decisions to stay or leave the agricultural sector. The paper highlights new findings relevant to the Palestinians who work in the agricultural sector.
