Agriculture plays an important role in the transformation towards a ‘low-carbon’ society. The sector is highly vulnerable to climate variability, and is a significant source of emissions, while at the same time, it has a potential for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Developing...

Homegrown value-auction experiments are useful for exploring preferences for controversial product attributes. These auctions have emphasized estimating the effect of the attribute on the willingness to pay (WTP) for a product. The likelihood that individuals are willing to purchase any products...

A Translog stochastic frontier cost function was estimated to determine the economic efficiency of fish production in Bangladesh. Economic inefficiency effect model was also estimated simultaneously with stochastic frontier to identify factors which influence efficiency. The coefficients of age...

The aim of this study is to increase our understanding of the specification and estimation of Boro rice (principal rice) supply response in Bangladesh as well as to provide instrument for agriculture planting decision and price policy by using econometric tools-cointegration and error correction...

The study tried to find out appropriate models using seven contemporary model selection criteria that could best describe the growth pattern of rice production in Bangladesh and in its foil regions (former divisions) Chittagong, Dhaka. Khulna and Rajshahi during the time period 1973/74 to...

The relationship between Coale's method and Reverse Survival method has been investigated in this article. Since Coale's method produces estimates which are found to be approximately equal to that of reverse survival method, it is useful to determine a constant multiplier to make Coale's...

Marine fishery in the Bay of Bengal and in the surrounding coastal areas is a highly valued renewable natural resource in the agricultural sub-sector of Bangladesh. It bestows the national economy with ample employments, food security, export earning, and is a safety net for the people who...

Viele Untersuchungen zur Quantifizierung der individuellen Risikoeinstellung von Probanden zeigen, dass verschiedene Messmethoden zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen führen können. Zusätzliche Zweifel bezüglich der Zuverlässigkeit der Ergebnisse zur Messung der Risikoeinstellung resultieren...
