Linkages Between Tenure, Risk, and Time Attitudes: Effects on Farm Business Decisions

Abstract

dc:description

Results of this study show that farm businesses can be analyzed in a life-cycle model, in which tenure, production, financing, and investment decisions can be jointly optimized. In this inter-temporal stochastic setting, the degree of risk aversion and changing time attitudes play important roles in decision making. But risk aversion has stronger effects than do time attitudes. Share leasing also is confirmed as an important response to risk, especially as risk aversion increases.
