Many competing risk models have been proposed. Some new methodologies  are largely untested. Some of the leading empirical methodologies in  agricultural economic research are poorly suited for problems with  aggregate data where risk averse behavior is less likely to be  important.\u003cbr\u003e  This book is intended to (i) define the current state of the  literature on agricultural risk research, (ii) provide a critical  evaluation of economic risk research on agriculture to date and (iii)  set a research agenda that will meet future needs and prospects. This  type of research promises to become of increasing importance because  agricultural policy in the United States and elsewhere has decidedly  shifted from explicit income support objectives to risk-related  motivations of helping farmers deal with risk. Beginning with the 1996  Farm Bill, the primary set of policy instruments from U.S. agriculture  has shifted from target prices and set aside acreage to agricultural  crop insurance. \u003cbr\u003e  Because this book is intended to have specific implications for U.S.  agricultural policy, it has a decidedly domestic scope, but clearly  many of the issues have application abroad. For each of the papers and  topics included in this volume, individuals have been selected to give  the strongest and broadest possible treatment of each facet of the  problem. The result is this comprehensive reference book on the  economics of agricultural risk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792375678\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3583-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 586\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46916093837452,"sku":"9780792375678","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792375678.jpg?v=1774494422","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792375678","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
