On the role of information in decision making : the case of sorghum yield in Burkina Faso

Jean-Paul Chavas ; Patricia M. Kristjanson ; Peter Matlon

This paper investigates the role of temporal uncertainty and information issues in economic decisions. It shows that the nature of the economic environment (e.g. the production technology) can influence the valuation of information, which in turn affects the choice functions. This is illustrated by an empirical application to yield response analysis in Burkina Faso. (DSE)
