Cost-Effective Farm-Level Nitrogen Abatement in the Presence of Environmental and Economic Risk

Ekman, Sone - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2002

This paper evaluates the consequences of considering environmental and economic risk in the analysis of cost-effective nitrogen abatement options in crop production. A farm-level mathematical programming model incorporating nitrogen leaching variability, field time variability, yield...

FOOD DECISION, INFORMATION AND PERSONALITY

Loheac, Youenn; Combris, Pierre; Issancou, Sylvie - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE; … - 2010

This study introduce measures of personality traits in an experiment which associate willingness to pay for food and sensory analysis tools in order to explore potential links between personality and food decisions. Measure of personality traits comes from experimental economics (risk aversion...

Weighted Goal Programming and Penalty Functions: Whole-farm Planning Approach Under Risk

Zgajnar, Jaka; Kavcic, Stane - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

The paper presents multiple criteria approach to deal with risk in farmer’s decisions. Decision making process is organised in a framework of spreadsheet tool. It is supported by deterministic and stochastic mathematical programming techniques applying optimisation concept. Decision making...

Modeling farmer participation to a revenue insurance scheme by means of Positive Mathematical Programming

Severini, Simone; Cortignani, Raffaele - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

European farmers face increasing income uncertainty and the debate is growing on the role of insurance schemes and of public support in this field. This debate is further stimulated by the perspective of introducing instruments to cope with risk also in the Common Agricultural Policy. Therefore,...

Incorporating risk in a positive mathematical programming framework: a new methodological approach

Arata, Linda; Donati, Michele; Sckokai, Paolo; Arfini, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

In this paper we develop a new methodological proposal to incorporate risk into a farm level Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) model. Our model presents some innovations with respect to the previous literature and estimates simultaneously the resource shadow prices, the farm non-linear...

An attempt to modelling revenue insurance schemes at the farm level by means of Positive Mathematical Programming

Severini, Simone; Cortignani, Raffaele - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

Farmers face increasing income uncertainty and the debate is growing on the role of insurance schemes and of public support in this field. This paper applies a PMP modelling approach that takes into explicit consideration risk aversion behaviour to test its applicability to evaluating the...

Comparison of Risk Between Cropping Systems in Eastern Norway

Lien, Gudbrand D.; Flaten, Ola; Schumann, Keith D.; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005

The aim of this study was to compare production and policy risk of organic, integrated and conventional cropping systems in Norway. Experimental cropping system data (1991-1999) from eastern Norway were combined with budgeted data. Empirical distributions of total farm income for different...

Climate change impacts on crop risks and agricultural production in Finland

Lehtonen, Heikki; Kujala, Sanna - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2007

Finland. Our sector level analysis takes into account important supply-demand conditions, e.g. changes in feed crop use …, limited domestic demand, and imperfect substitution. Sector models including risk are relatively few in recent literature of … remain strong. On the other hand, if the demand is relatively inelastic, land area of some less competitive crops may clearly …

Estimating a production function under production and price risks: An application to the suckler cow farms in the French charolais production area

Mosnier, Claire; Reynaud, Arnaud; Thomas, Alban; Lherm, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2007

Suckler cow production in France relies mainly on a relatively extensive management of forage, implying that production risk may be enhanced by the sensitivity of those crops to weather variability. However risk exposure is supposed to be mitigated either through ex-ante decisions concerning...

Experimental Evidence of Risk Aversion in Consumer Markets: The Case of Beef Tenderness

Alfnes, Frode; Rickertsen, Kyrre; Ueland, Oydis - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005

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...
