The paper examines the influence of factor price risk on factor-use efficiency through the adoption of conservation … technology. The effect of a mean-preserving increase in factor price risk on optimal input-use efficiency is shown to be … that there may be a discrepancy between the aggregate and firm-level effects of price risk on efficiency. Theoretical …

In the search for effective pesticide risk management tools, the design of pesticide risk indicators is nowadays … recently developed pesticide risk indices and test their potential for management purposes. A pilot approach is proposed, which … explores pesticide worst-case hazard scenarios at different space-time scales by means of a set of 5 ecotoxicological risk …
