Dahlgran, Roger A. - 2009
Hedging effectiveness is the proportion of price risk removed through hedging. Empiricalhedging studies typically … to a second group of data, and examinethe robustness of the hedging strategy by comparing the hedging effectiveness for … out-of-sample hedging effectiveness estimators. Through mathematical andsimulation analysis we determine the following: (a …

Production Inefficiency in Fed Cattle Marketing and the Value of Sorting Pens into Alternative Marketing Groups Using Ultrasound Technology
Koontz, Stephen R.; Hoag, Dana L.; Brethour, John R.; … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 40 (2008) 03
The cattle industry batch markets animals in pens. Because of this, animals within any one pen can be both underfed and … overfed. Thus, there is a production inefficiency associated with batch marketing. We simulate the value of sorting animals … through weight and ultrasound measurements from original pens into smaller alternative marketing groups. Sorting exploits the …

Use of a Producer Survey to Reconcile Differences in Experiment Station Yield Estimates
Duke, Jason C.; Epplin, Francis M. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2010
Average producer practice reveals that the expected returns are greater from dual-purpose wheat grown for both forage and grain than for grain-only wheat. Variety trials report an 11 bushel per acre yield advantage and hence economic advantage for grain-only. Research was conducted to reconcile...

Proposed Farm Bill Impact On The Optimal Hedge Ratios For Crops
Tran, Trang; Coble, Keith H.; Harri, Ardian; Barnett, … - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2013
Revenue insurance with shallow loss protection for farmers has been introduced recently. A common attribute of most shallow loss proposals is that they would be area-revenue triggered. The impact on optimal hedge ratios of combining these shallow loss insurance proposals with deep loss...

Whole-farm models: a review of recent approaches
Robertson, Michael J.; Pannell, David J.; Chalak, Morteza - In: AFBM Journal 09 (2012) 2
There is a wide variety of approaches to whole farm models (WFMs) including purely biophysical models as well as models that combine biological and financial elements. Our study was motivated by the notion that researchers may benefit from guidelines on the choices they must make about modelling...
