Identifying the optimal switching point between different invasive alien species (IAS) management policies is a very complex task and policy makers are in need of modelling tools to assist them. In this paper we develop an optimal control bioeconomic model to estimate the type of optimal policy...

The economic impacts of altering quarantine policies are divided into two main areas: trade evaluations, utilising a partial equilibrium approach to determine the benefits of market liberalisation; or pest management economics, used to determine the on-ground impacts of introduced species. This...

A gestão dos resultados das atividades agropecuárias tem se tornado um constante desafio para os empresários rurais e a sua mensuração é imprescindível para o planejamento e análises de desempenho. No caso do mercado do boi gordo não tem sido diferente, principalmente, no que se refere...

Currently France wants to introduce a weather risk management framework intoits agricultural policy for livestock farming. The aim of this paper is to better understand howon-farm risk reducing strategies modify the production system and profit distribution ofFrench suckler cow enterprises. We...

The economic consequences of livestock epidemics have been long studied for purposes ofestimating the costs of the veterinary measures. In this paper, we show that this catastrophicrisk may have wide market consequences, and that the risk management systems are quitelimited to compensate long...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of different VaR models in the context of risk assessment in hog production. Potential pitfalls of traditional VaR models are pinpointed and proposals to solve them are analyzed. After a brief description these methods are used to...

The vast majority of crop and revenue insurance policies sold in the United States are single-crop policies that insure against low yields or low revenues for each crop grown on a particular farm. This practice of insuring one crop at a time runs counter to the traditional risk management...
