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...
