Employing nationally representative data, we investigate the impact of Sustainable
Intensification Practices (SIP s) on farm households' food security, downside risk and the …

Technological changes in agriculture tend to alter the mass associated with segments or
components of the yield distribution as opposed to simply shifting the entire distribution …

Risk management in agricultural production is a first order problem as producers' long-run
sustainability often depends on their ability to reduce the adverse effects of profit …

In empirical applications with crop yield data, conditioning for heteroscedasticity is both
important and challenging. It is important because the scale of the distribution can markedly …

Two veins of literature, namely, production risk literature and stochastic frontier analysis, are
examined. Both fields are concerned of output variation; the former due to exogenous …

The development of methodologies for predicting crop yield, in real-time and in response to
different agro-climatic conditions, could help to improve the farm management decision …

This article develops a quantile moment approach to evaluate risk exposure and to illustrate
risk valuation, and then applies it to examine the relative importance of downside risk and …

ENSO teleconnections imply anomalous weather conditions, causing yield shortages, price
fluctuations, and civil unrest. We estimate ENSO's effect on US county-level corn yield …

Climate change is likely to significantly impact agricultural production in the Great Plains
region of the Central United States. This study estimated the impact of changes in …

Managing drought risk is one of the most critical issues for rice farmers as its production
requires a large amount of water compared to other crops. Drought-stress tolerant rice …
