Economics Efficiency of Farming - Lessee or Owner (An Attempt at Assessment)

Kagan, Adam - 2017

The paper presents the role and importance of land lease in structural changes in agriculture and its relations to efficiency of farming. It was demonstrated that land lease was a more efficient and cheaper method of increasing farm area (production scale) than land purchase. Research was held...

Income Heterogeneity and Index Insurance Demand

Hochscherf, Julian - 2016

Index-based income insurance as a tool to insure the income of agriculturally active households has received certain attention in the scientific and development related discussion. Despite the convincing theoretical argumentation, the demand for these products stays behind expectations. Several...

Market Timing, Farmer Expectations, and Liquidity Constraints

Albuquerque, Rui A.; Araujo, Bruno; Brandao-Marques, Luis; … - 2021

This paper uses data on farmers' price expectations from a survey of randomly sampled smallholder farmers in Mozambique …. Survey data show that across all crops most interviewed farmers expect prices to be higher in the lean season. Yet, farmers … lower current sale prices are associated with increased storage for liquidity constrained farmers versus unconstrained …

Evolutionary sequential Monte Carlo samplers for change-point models

Dufays, Arnaud - In: Econometrics : open access journal 4 (2016) 1, pp. 1-33

Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are widely used for non-linear filtering purposes. However, the SMC scope encompasses wider applications such as estimating static model parameters so much that it is becoming a serious alternative to Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) methods. Not only do SMC...

A flexible predictive density combination model for large financial data sets in regular and crisis periods

Casarin, Roberto; Ravazollo, Francesco; Grassi, Stefano; … - 2022

A flexible predictive density combination model is introduced for large financial data sets which allows for dynamic weight learning and model set incompleteness. Dimension reduction procedures allocate the large sets of predictive densities and combination weights to relatively small sets....

A Bayesian dynamic compositional model for large density combinations in finance

Casarin, Roberto; Grassi, Stefano; Ravazzolo, Francesco; … - 2021

A Bayesian dynamic compositional model is introduced that can deal with combining a large set of predictive densities. It extends the mixture of experts and the smoothly mixing regression models by allowing for combination weight dependence across models and time. A compositional model with...

Bayes estimates of multimodal density features using DNA and Economic Data

Basturk, Nalan; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Dijk, Herman K. van - 2021

In several scientific fields, like bioinformatics, financial and macro-economics, important theoretical and practical issues exist that involve multimodal data distributions. We propose a Bayesian approach using mixtures distributions to approximate accurately such data distributions. Shape and...
