This research focuses on the effect of decoupled payments on labour supply of Dutch dairy farmers. Data availability leads to the fact that we can not estimate structural labour supply equations. We show how to derive reduced form equations suitable for policy simulations. We use the panel data...

Empirical distributions of total farm income for different cropping systems were estimated with a simulation model that uses a … (SERF) was used to rank the cropping systems for farmers with various risk aversion levels. The results show that the …

In our first analysis we use mean-variance approach in including crop yield risk and risk aversion …. Farm income is relatively little affected by higher crop yields, on the average, while income may increase significantly on …

Consistency of quality is important for brand loyalty and market share in consumer markets. Among consumers of beef, tenderness is the primary quality attribute. We use an experimental auction market to investigate how inconsistency in tenderness affects consumers willingness to pay (WTP) for...
