Testing for Separability in Household Models with Heterogeneous Behavior: A Mixture Model Approach AgEcon
Vakis, Renos; Sadoulet, Elisabeth; de Janvry, Alain; Cafiero, Carlo.
Knowing whether a household behaves according to separability or non-separability is needed for the correct modeling of production decisions. We propose a superior test to those found in the literature on separability by using a mixture distribution approach to estimate the probability that a farm household behaves according to non-separability, and test that the determinants of consumption affect production decisions for households categorized as non-separable. With non-separability attributed to labor market constraints, the switcher equation shows that Peruvian farm households that are indigenous and young, with low levels of education, and lack of local employment opportunities are more likely to be constrained on the labor market.

Index based compensation for weather risk in the Italian agriculture. A feasibility study based on actual historic data AgEcon
Cafiero, Carlo; Angelucci, Federica; Capitanio, Fabian; Vollaro, Michele.
The paper explores the feasibility of the use of weather index based derivatives for farms' risk management in an Italian province. Based on a combination of detailed local weather data and of data on farms' yields, various possible weather indexes are found that are highly correlated with yields of the major crops in the area. Simulations show that hedging through such index based derivatives can be effective in protecting the stability of farms' incomes, at a cost that is likely to be much lower than that of the current system of subsidized crop insurance and ex-post compensation.
Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Agricultural risk management; Weather derivatives; Index based yield insurance.; Production Economics; Risk and Uncertainty.
