The field of price transmission is dominated by econometric time-series analysis (PTA) and rather disconnected from analyses based on CGE models. This paper addresses how a certain degree of empirically determined price transmission can be met in a single country CGE model. We examine and...

This study investigates risk and time preferences of small-scale cattle farmers in West Africa and examines how demographic and socio-economic characteristics are related to these preferences. Using a maximum likelihood approach we jointly estimate risk and time preferences. Our findings show...

Previous studies emphasize that shocks can cause households to fall into poverty traps and to remain there because of risk aversion, yet to date there has been no attempt to discern whether shocks increase risk aversion over time in a developing country. We examine whether shocks increase risk...

Other than previous meta-analyses, we ignore the reported main outcome of a study. Instead, we focus on studies that present descriptive statistics of survey statements as long as these address consumers’ evaluation of biotechnology in food products and capture responses on a numerical scale...

Der Ausbau der Silomaisproduktion hat in den letzten Jahren eine dynamische Entwicklung erlebt. Dies geschah vor dem Hintergrund kontinuierlich abnehmender Rinderbestände und einem rasanten Anstieg der Biogasproduktion. Angaben zum tatsächlichen Anbauumfang von Silomais für die deutsche...

Farmers’ technology adoption in electric irrigation has recently been analyzed as a coordination problem. To study how the Pareto-inferior equilibrium, farmers are trapped in, can be overcome we have developed a framed field experiment. Leadership and group size are varied in a full factorial...
