| Abstract | The issue of change in climate is a global experience with adverse effects on human lives, animals and the environment of countries. Climate change, therefore, can also be associated with low productivity depending on the type of productivity. Such productivity could be agricultural productivity, manufacturing productivity, service productivity, among others. Hence, this study particularly tries to determine the impact of climate change on agricultural and manufacturing productivity in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). This study is important because most African countries are known to rely on agriculture that somewhat transcends to the manufacturing sector, which may be affected by climate change. Productivity effects caused by climate change could affect the health of workers, work hours and workplace both the agricultural sector and the manufacturing sectors. Therefore, the study of this nature is important to determine the long-run effect of climate change on agricultural and manufacturing productivity in Sub Saharan Africa. This study employed the use of Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square Method using annual data from 1986 to 2016. The result conforms to the apriori expectation and shows that climate change has a negative effect on aggregate productivity as well as agriculture and manufacturing productivity in Sub-Sahara. Thus, this study determines the impact of climate change on how it affects agricultural productivity and manufacturing productivity differently in Sub Saharan African. |
