Rainfall and Economic Growth: Evidence from<br>Senegal

Abstract In this paper, we simulate and evaluate the impact of extreme rainfall events on various sectors in the economy; factors of production remuneration and economic growth in Senegal. A dynamic general equilibrium model is developed which includes an index linking rainfall fluctuations to total productivity factor (TPF) and factor market. Based on rainfall trends during the past three decades, we run simulations to assess the effects of rainfall
