Currently I am a student in Master II at the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University Cheikh Anta Diop Dakar.I finish this higher level with a dissertation whose theme is "the impacts of climate change on food security at Senegal "so I have to make a model explaining the impact of climate change on food security in Senegal. I wish to be really help Thank you and many things to all
Dear Adam Salam! How are you? Congratulations on that achievement.
How can I access your Master?
Thank you very much for the attencion
Economic modeling of food security and climate change can be done through econometrics or general equilibrium models. Econometric models could be developed for specific indicators of food security as dependent variables with temperature and precipitation variables as additional independent variables. This could be done with using panel data or time series. On the contrary, general equilibrium methods involve extensive modeling of the whole economy and then shocking the model with some climatic variables. You could also conduct survey to evaluate impacts of climate change on food access and security, and analyze the data. Hope this helps.

I agree with Dr. Randhir! At the same time, if this is your thesis/dissertation topic I trust that you are "walking through uncharted territory" and this is o.k. You will be the discoverer of new knowledge and this will allow you to propose your own model.
By conducting the research, which answers the question you have asked here you will acquire the expertise to construct the model for Senegal. The FAO website should have climate data for various regions of the world, including Senegal.
