This paper analyzes the effects of climate change on the level of poverty and inequality in sub-Saharan Africa. We use a parametric and semi-parametric model of a triangular system and apply it to data from panels from twenty sub-Saharan African countries covering the period from 2000 to 2016. We use the “generalized joint regression modeling” (GJRM) procedure to estimate the model. The results show that if climatic variability (rise in temperature and fall in rainfall) induces low...
