• The farm-level economics of conservation agriculture for resource-poor farmers (2014, background): “For farmers who are highly averse to risk and uncertainty, this can be a significant impediment to adoption of new practices (Feder, 1980; Antle and Crissman, 1990; Shively, 1997; Marra et al., 2003; Abadi Ghadim et al., 2005; Koundouri et al., 2006).”
• The impact of integrated aquaculture-agriculture on small-scale farms in Southern Malawi (2010, background): “Finally, the adoption by somewhat larger farmers suggest what has been observed in many other farming communities: marginal farmers tend to be more averse to taking risks and are therefore not likely to be among the first to adopt a new technology; instead, they follow a wait-and-see approach (e.g.,”
• Economic Value of Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Agriculture: Review of Ex-Ante Assessments and Recommendations for Future Research (2008, background): “Farmers’ ex-ante responses to risk include avoidance of improved production technology (Kebede 1992; Marra et al. 2003; Abadi Ghadim et al. 2005), selection of less risky but less profitable crops or cultivars (Dercon 1996; J. Morduch 1990, personal communication), underuse of fertilizers (Bliss…”
