Measuring dynamic efficiency under uncertainty

Huettel, Silke; Narayana, Rashmi; Odening, Martin - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2011

In this paper we develop a theoretical model that links dynamic efficiency measurement and optimal investment under uncertainty. It is widely acknowledged that uncertainty has an impact on the optimal factor use of a profit maximizing firm. This is particularly true for the optimal adjustment of...

Forced Sales and Farmland Prices

Huttel, Silke; Jetzinger, Simon; Odening, Martin - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2012

In this paper we analyse agricultural land prices in the German Federal State of Brandenburg within the period 2000-2011. Our objective is to understand the price formation process in foreclosures. One effect of foreclosures relates to pressured sales, which likely lead to a price discount, and...

Agri-Environmental Policy in Germany: Understanding the Role of Regional Administration

Eggers, Jorg; Laschewski, Lutz; Schleyer, Christian - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2004

With regard to agri-environmental schemes under Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 in Europe a rather divers uptake as well as a lack of effectiveness and efficiency of these current schemes can be observed. In contrast to most of the related literature, we suggest that the ineffectiveness and...

Holding on for too long? An experimental study on inertia in entrepreneurs’ and non-entrepreneurs’ disinvestment choices

Sandri, Serena; Schade, Christian; Musshoff, Oliver; … - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2010

Disinvestment, in the sense of project termination and liquidation of assets including the cession of a venture, is an important realm of entrepreneurial decision-making. This study presents the results of an experimental investigation modeling the choice to disinvest as a dynamic problem of...

Does vertical integration reduce investment reluctance in production chains? An agent-based real options approach

Balmann, Alfons; Musshoff, Oliver; Larsen, Karin - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2009

This paper uses an agent-based real options approach to analyze whether stronger vertical integration reduces investment reluctance in pork production. A competitive model in which firms identify optimal investment strategies by using genetic algorithms is developed. Two production systems are...

The disciplinary influence of physics, biology, and chemistry on economic modelling: Overview and implications for understanding agricultural change

Petrick, Martin - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2008

Economic research on structural change in agriculture has repeatedly induced controversies about basic theoretical concepts, such as rational behaviour and equilibrium, and their analytical and political implications. To contribute to the epistemological dimension of this debate, the article...

Coordination after gains and losses: Is prospect theory’s value function predictive for games?

Schade, Christian; Schroeder, Andreas; Krause, Kai Oliver - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2010

We analyze the effects of prior gain and loss experiences on individuals’ behavior in two coordination games: battle of the sexes and simultaneous market entry. We propose subjectively transformed games that integrate elements of prospect theory, aggregation of prior and subsequent payoffs,...

The Role of Small Farms in Structural Change

Huettel, Silke; Margarian, Anne - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2009

This paper explains regionally differentiated patterns of structural change based on a theoretical framework dealing with strategic interaction of farms on the land market. The main research question focuses on the causes of regionally persistent structures. An empirical Markov chain model is...

Programming rural development funds – An interactive linear programming approach applied to the EAFRD program in Saxony-Anhalt

Schmid, Julia Christiane; Hager, Astrid; Jechlitschka, Kurt - Department für Agrarökonomie, Humboldt-Universität Berlin - 2010

Policies for rural areas have become an important but complex policy field in the European Union`s Common Agricultural Policy. The purpose of this paper is to report on a methodological approach pursued to model the allocation of EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) funds in...
