An economic analysis of small-holders agriculture in the central highlands of Ethiopia : a system simulation approach

Creator:: Bellete, Solomon
Abstract:: In the majority of the less developed countries the small-scale peasant agriculture is the dominant sector of the countries' economies. The successes of major agricultural programs in order to increase the potentials depend primarily on the understanding of the economic organizations of the peasant households. This study analyzed over a...

Evaluating the financial risk involved in farmland investment decisions

Creator:: Knox, Kenneth W.
Abstract:: Investing in farmland is one of the most important decisions that farmers face in their lifetimes. Usually, large amounts of debt are required to purchase a substantial tract of land, thereby reducing the farmer's liquidity position and future borrowing capacity. Fixed debt commitments must be met by highly variable future...

Essays in incomplete agricultural markets

Creator:: Cross, Robin M.
Abstract:: Agricultural revenues, the product of stochastic prices and yields, lead to markets which are incomplete, thereby entreating and complicating economic inquiry. The following three essays explore the incomplete nature of agricultural markets and consider the implications of incompleteness for a range of policy questions and economic tools. The first essay,...

The demand for electricity in western U.S. irrigated agriculture : a dual cost function analysis

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery Dean
Abstract:: The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

A comparison of box-cox and additive exponential models to estimate the depreciation of farm machinery

Creator:: Wu, Jing
Abstract:: Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...

Risk modeling using direct solution of expected utility maximization problems

Creator:: Lambert, David K.
Abstract:: A model of agricultural decision making is developed and tested in this thesis. The expected value of utility evaluated under alternative outcomes is directly maximized in a nonlinear programming model. Two features of the model distinguished it from traditional risk programming models. First, alternative attitudes towards the assumption of risk...
