Abstract
Bangladesh is primarily an Agriculture based country and its economy largely depends on the agriculture. Weather and climate are key determinants of the productivity of crops grown in an agrarian country like Bangladesh. Boro rice constitutes a large share in the domestic food grain of the country. Sometimes its production affected by some climatic factors. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the likely climatic factors for Boro rice production in Bangladesh. In this study we employed traditional OLS method and recent Bootstrap technique to identify the influential climatic factors on Boro rice production. Our study revealed that the considered variables rainfalls (RAIN), maximum temperature (MAX), minimum temperature (MIN) and wind speed (WIND) have significant effect on Boro rice production both by OLS and Bootstrap method. Bootstrap method exhibits lower standard errors in comparison to the OLS method indicating that this estimate could be useful in Boro rice production of Bangladesh. The messages from this study could be useful for the policy makers of the country.
