What is Behind the Fall in Russian Agricultural Production?

Bezlepkina, Irina V. - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2002

This study analyses the causal factors of fall in Russian farm output focusing on financial determinants. Translog production function is estimated on panel of 17653 large-scale farms for 1996-1998 period using fixed-effects and accounting for inter-regional climate differences. Output...

Assessing the Farm Level Impacts of Yield and Revenue Insurance: an Expected Value-Variance Approach

Berg, Ernst - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2002

This paper investigates the farm level impacts of multiple peril yield and revenue insurance in an expected value-variance framework. The analysis is conducted using stochastic simulation jointly with numerical optimisation. Simulation is used to compute the means and variances of revenues as...

Combining risk perception and risk attitude: A comprehensive individual risk behavior model

van Winsen, Frankwin; Wauters, Erwin; Lauwers, Ludwig H.; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

Although risk management in farming is a well-documented subject in scientific literature, this same literature is usually used only by other scientist and is not aiding individual farmers in their management. Risk perception and risk attitude are well described determinants of risk behaviour...

Crop biodiversity repercussions of subsidized organic farming in Greece

Nastis, Stefanos A.; Michailidis, Anastasios; Mattas, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

This paper analyzes the impact of CAP financial assistance on crop biodiversity under uncertainty. A stochastic production function is employed and estimated to assess whether risk-averse farmers hedge risk by diversifying their portfolio of crops, thus increasing crop biodiversity. The model is...

Farmers’ willingness to vaccinate against endemic animal diseases: A theoretical approach

Rault, Arnaud; Krebs, Stephane - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

The aim of this paper is to propose an analytical framework to explore farmers’ vaccination decisions against endemic animal diseases. First, a theoretical model is developed to highlight how the characteristics of the vaccine influence the farmer’s vaccination decisions over time and the...

Extreme weather events in Belgium: calamity fund and on-farm strategies hand in hand?

Verspecht, Ann; Van Huylenbroeck, Guido; Buysse, Jeroen - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Risk management in agriculture has been implemented probably as long as agriculture exists. One of the factors why researchers and policymakers recently are more interested in farm risk management is the vulnerability farmers face towards extreme events (EWE) linked to climate change. This...
