Probability distributions of crop yields are important for understanding technological change,
the effects of weather on crop production, and production risk. It can be difficult to model …

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 …

This study evaluates whether genetically modified (GM) corn hybrids with rootworm resistant
traits (GM‐RW) have lower yield risk. A crop insurance actuarial performance measure, the …

This paper proposes a nonparametric approach for estimation of stochastic production
functions with categorical and continuous variables, and then develops procedures that …

The three essays that constitute this dissertation consider aspects of agricultural economics
that are relevant to current policies in the United States (US). Econometric techniques, some …
