We study risk preferences and their determinants for commercial cattle farmers in Namibia who are subject to high and … heterogeneous precipitation risk, using data from questionnaire and field experiments, simulated data for on-farm precipitation risk … and data on famers' previous place of residence. We find that the relationship between risk preferences and precipitation …

We study risk preferences and their determinants for commercial cattle farmers in Namibia who are subject to high … precipitation risk that is heterogeneous across farms. We use data on risk preferences from questionnaire and field experiments …, simulated data for on-farm precipitation risk and data on famers’ previous place of residence.

This analysis utilises a model of production under risk estimated on Finnish farm-level data to measure farmers' risk … attitudes in a changing policy environment. We find evidence of heterogeneous risk preferences among farmers, as well as notable … changes over time in farmers' degree of risk aversion. This result is due to the increase in the non-random part of farm …

severe harvest losses leads to more risk aversion and stronger overweighting of small probabilities. Higher losses are not …

This study is an empirical investigation of how individual risk attitudes influence the agricultural productivity of …-economic factors, the results show that as the female farmers’ increase risk taking, the productivity of female-owned plots goes down … female farmers do not increase their plot yield by taking more risk. It is argued that agricultural policy interventions in …
