Cointegration is tested between organic and conventional corn and soybean markets in several locations throughout the U.S. using a unique data set. Organic prices are found to behave like pure jump processes rather than diffusions. A simple specification for pure jump processes is introduced and...

A framework is developed to examine the 2011 pilot program established by the RiskManagement Agency (RMA) to insure organic crops. Given that for insurance purposes RMAlinks organic crop prices to their conventional counterparts by a fixed percentage, we calibrateour model to reflect the organic...

A survey of organic grain and oilseed producers in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin wasconducted to collect information about their demographic characteristics, production and pricerisk management strategies, yields and losses, and crop insurance decisions. The data areanalyzed using a discrete...
