| Study of profitability and risk of agricultural banks is very important in assessing the ability to adequately finance agricultural production and rural development. A recursive system of profitability and risk equations is estimated to compare the performance of agricultural with nonagricultural banks and to identify factors which affect performance. A linear regression model which measures risk-adjusted profitability confirms the results from the recursive system. Results show that agricultural banks perform better than nonagricultural counterparts on average even after controlling for risks and other factors. Further, off-balance-sheet business is found to be negatively related to the risk-adjusted profitability of agricultural banks. |

| Using multivariate regression on data composed of prices, produce characteristics, demographics, and interactions, this study investigates organic price premiums paid by U.S. consumers for fresh tomatoes and apples, two of the top organic produce sellers, and identifies factors explaining variation in price premiums. The econometric problem of each buyer having multiple records in the purchase data is addressed in the estimation procedure. |
