Application of decision support methods in preparation for a Hungarian bio-fuel programme

Lakner, Zoltan; Vizvari, Bela - In: GAZDÁLKODÁS: Scientific Journal on Agricultural Economics 52 (2008) 22

Under current market circumstances and those predictable in the near future, further increasing agricultural production seems to be rather groundless. By utilising agro-ecological conditions more efficiently, one eighth of Hungaryâ€™s gasoline demand could be satisfied from maize...

A Game Theoretic Approach to Analyse Cooperation between Rural Households in Northern Nigeria

Gerichhausen, M.; Berkhout, Ezra D.; Hamers, H.J.M; … - African Association of Agricultural Economists - AAAE - 2008

cooperation, is the need for a fair division rule for the gains of the cooperation. This paper combines linear programming and … cooperative game theory to model the effects of cooperation of (individual) households on income and farm plans. Linear … programming establishes insight in the optimal farm plans in cooperation, and cooperative game theory is used to generate fair …

Incorporating Environmentally Compliant Manure Nutrient Disposal Costs into Least-Cost Livestock Ration Formulation

Hadrich, Joleen C.; Wolf, Christopher A.; Black, J. Roy; … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 40 (2008) 01

Livestock rations are formulated to minimize feed cost subject to nutritional requirements for a target performance level, which ignores the potentially substantial cost of disposing of nutrients fed in excess of nutritional requirements. We incorporate nutrient disposal costs into a modified...

Improvement of the AROPAj model covering a large range of agricultural activities at wide (UE) and high resolution (mapping of farm types) scales

Baranger, Edouard; Clodic, Melissa; Galko, Elodie; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

Mathematical programming models suit policy makers' needs for assessing impacts of new policies and modellers' needs for new parameters, constraints and activities to represent the phenomenon under study. The AROPAj model aims at taking into account any geographical extension of the European...

A note on the effectiveness of some de-fuzzification measures in a fuzzy pure factors portfolio

Papahristodoulou, Christos - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

There are several methods to convert fuzzy or stochastic LP to conventional LP models. In this simple paper we evaluate the effectiveness of three proposed methods, using a numerical example from a pure factors portfolio.
