摘要

Climate variability impacts agricultural productivity, requiring advanced models to assess these effects. Traditional econometric models often fail to capture the nonlinear climate-yield relationships. This study addresses this gap by combining wavelet decomposition with the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model to improve the accuracy and interpretation of climate-yield dynamics. A new model, the dual wavelet enhanced NARDL (DWaveNARDL), is proposed, which uses wavelet transformation to decompose climate and yield data, followed by NARDL to capture both short- and long-term asymmetric effects. Using crop yield data (1966–2022) and climatic variables from six districts in West Bengal, India, the study shows that wavelet-based models outperform traditional approaches. The DWaveNARDL model reduced AIC and BIC by approximately 12–18%. Among the four wavelet filters tested, LA8 and BL14 produced the best model-fitting performance, as reflected by lower AIC and BIC values. Their superior performance is attributed to smoother signal approximation and better noise localization, which allow the model to preserve important low-frequency climate–yield information while more effectively capturing asymmetric effects. The DWaveNARDL model provides a robust framework for understanding climate impacts on crop yields, aiding agricultural planning and policy decisions for climate resilience.
