Design of Discrete Auction
Sujarittanonta, Pacharasut - 2010
Chapter 1: Efficient Design of an Auction with Discrete Bid Levels This paper studies one of auction design issues: the choice of bid levels. Full efficiency is generally unachievable with a discrete auction. Since there may be more than one bidder who submits the same bid, the auction cannot...

The thesis contains four main chapters.The first two chapters … dependence compared to classical models of expected utility theory. It is shown that some empirical puzzles concerning … utility theory are met. It is shown that the methodological concerns are empirically relevant when a classification of …

Evaluating the efficiency of a N-input tax under different policy scenarios at different scales
Petsakos, Athanasios; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - 2010
Nitrate pollution from agriculture is an important environmental problem, caused bythe excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. The internalization of this externality, via a tax onmineral nitrogen, could lead to a second best solution, reducing nitrate emissions. Severalauthors suggest that a...

Crop insurance market development in a transition economy: The case of Kazakhstan
Heidelbach, Olaf; Bokusheva, Raushan - 2009
We analyze the current state and future requirements of an agricultural income stabilization mechanism in a transition country – namely, the crop insurance system in Kazakhstan. Three objectives will be pursued: First, factors influencing the development of the crop insurance market will be...

Spatially explicit farming system modelling for an efficient agri-environmental policy design
Havlik, Petr; Bamiere, Laure; Jacquet, Florence; Millet, Guy - 2008
A mathematical programming model is developed and associated to a spatial pattern index (Ripley L function) to analyse the optimal reserve design and implementation for the Little Bustard conservation in Plaine de Niort. The model structure corresponds to three spatial levels, fields, farm and...

RISK MANAGEMENT THROUGH INSURANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXTERNALITIES FROM AGRICULTURAL INPUT USE: AN ITALIAN CASE STUDY
Capitanio, Fabian - 2008
The biological nature of agricultural production processes induce a higher degree ofuncertainty surrounding the economic performance of farm enterprises. This has contributedto the development and acceptance of forms of public intervention aimed at reducing incomevariability that have no...

Determining the Price-Responsiveness of Demands for Irrigation Water Deliveries versus Consumptive Use
Scheierling, Susanne M.; Young, Robert A.; Cardon, Grant E. - 2004
A water-crop simulation/mathematical programming model of irrigation water demand in northeastern Colorado is formulated to develop an original concept of derived demand for consumptive use of water. Conventional demand functions for water deliveries are also developed, and the effect of...

Cost Sharing under Uncertainty: An Algorithmic Approach to Cooperative Interval-Valued Games
Kimms, Alf; Drechsel, Julia - 2009
Recently, Branzei, Dimitrov, and Tijs (2003) introduced cooperative interval-valued games. Among other insights, the notion of an interval core has been coined and proposed as a solution concept for interval-valued games. In this paper we will present a general mathematical programming algorithm...
