modeling the impacts of climate change on agriculture presents a com-plex challenge arising from the wide-ranging processes underlying the working of markets, ecosystems, and human behavior. The ana-lytical framework used in this monograph integrates modeling components that range from the macro to the micro to model a range of processes, from those driven by economics to those that are essentially biological in nature. This chapter brings together in one place the technical details associated with models used in this monograph along with other technical information that is common to most or all of the chapters.
