Crop genetic diversity, farm productivity and the management of environmental risk in rainfed agriculture (2006, background): “Empirical evidence suggests that most decision makers exhibit decreasing absolute risk aversion (DARA) (e.g. Binswanger, 1981; Chavas and Holt, 1996; Chavas, 2004).”
The costs and benefits of land fragmentation of rice farms in Japan (2010, background): “Because the relationship between the risk premium and the yield variance is approximately linear (Chavas 2004), the increase in benefit (dB) when the number of parcels or SI increases by 1 per cent is calculated by RP · EV, where RP is the risk premium per hectare, and EV is elasticity of yield vari”
Managing Environmental Risk in Presence of Climate Change: The Role of Adaptation in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2014, methodology): “Our analysis relies on a moment-based specification of the stochastic production function (Antle 1983; Antle and Goodger 1984; Chavas 2004).”
