Factors Affecting Farmersâ€™ Utilization of Agricultural Risk Management Tools: The Case of Crop Insurance, Forward Contracting, and Spreading Sales

Velandia, Margarita M.; Rejesus, Roderick M.; Knight, … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 41 (2009) 01

Factors affecting the adoption of crop insurance, forward contracting, and spreading sales are analyzed using multivariate and multinomial probit approaches that account for simultaneous adoption and/or correlation among the three risk management adoption decisions. Our empirical results suggest...

Smoking Habits: Like Father, Like Son, Like Mother, Like Daughter

Loureiro, Maria L.; Sanz-de-Galdeano, Anna; Vuri, Daniela - CESifo - 2009
