Why Farmers Opt Not to Enroll in Payment-for-Environmental-Services Programs

Ma, Shan; Swinton, Scott M.; Lupi, Frank; Jolejole, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

Payment-for-environmental-services (PES) programs are the focus of increasing attention globally. While existing PES programs can observe who participates and who does not, the reasons for nonparticipation can be opaque. Taking advantage of a unique stated preference data set that includes a...

Globally Flexible Modeling of County-Level Acreage Response for Primary U.S. Field Crops

Cooper, Joseph C.; Arnade, Carlos A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

This study takes the standard acreage response model that stems from an expected utility framework, accounting for both price and yield variability, and nests it within a flexible semi-nonparametric (SNP) model consistent with farm-level decision models for computationally tractable results. We...

More than Mean Effects: Modeling the Effect of Climate on the Higher Order Moments of Crop Yields

Tack, Jesse B.; Harri, Ardian; Coble, Keith H. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2012

The objective of this article is to propose the use of moment functions and maximum entropy techniques as a flexible way to estimate conditional crop yield distributions. We present a moment based model that extends previous approaches in several dimensions, and can be easily estimated using...

Optimal Coverage Level Choice with Individual and Area Plans of Insurance

Bulut, Harun; Collins, Keith J.; Zacharias, Thomas P. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

We theoretically examine a farmer’s coverage demand with area and individual insurance plans as either separate or integrated options. The individual and area losses are assumed to be imperfectly and positively correlated. With actuarially fair rates, the farmer will fully insure with the...
