A bioeconomic model of reservoir aquaculture in northern Vietnam is used toinvestigate the impacts of price and yield risk on the level, variability and skewness ofexpected net revenue and utility. Prices and yields are assumed to follow lognormaland beta distributions, respectively. Net revenue...
