ABSTRACT This study investigates the financial literacy (FL) of Swedish farmers, its linkages to farmer characteristics, management accounting practices and farm outcomes by surveying Swedish Farm Accountancy Data Network farmers. Using item response theory, we expand the existing FL measurement specifically to the farming context, assess measurement ...

Inference in two-piece location-scale models with Jeffreys priors [PDF]
This paper addresses the use of Jeffreys priors in the context of univariate threeparameter location-scale models, where skewness is introduced by differing scale parameters either side of the location.

ABSTRACT Vending is an important sector in the daily lives of many people, and coffee is the most frequently consumed product in the European market. Like many other sectors, vending is responding to the challenge of sustainable development by taking various actions, such as offering increasingly ecologically sound coffee while maintaining/improving ...

Extreme Value GARCH modelling with Bayesian Inference [PDF]
Extreme value theory is widely used financial applications such as risk analysis, forecasting and pricing models. One of the major difficulties in the applications to finance and economics is that the assumption of independence of time series ...

ABSTRACT The US hemp market is a new and nascent industry that has been devoid of research for about half a century. This study examined the effects of exogenous shock on price at each phase of the value chain—Farm (hemp biomass), and its impact on prices at other phases of the value chain—Intermediary Processor (crude cannabidiol hemp) and Final ...

Bayesian Variations on the Frisch and Waugh Theme [PDF]
The paper is devoted to discussing consequences of the so-called Frisch-Waugh Theorem to posterior inference and Bayesian model comparison. We adopt a generalised normal linear regression framework and weaken its assumptions in order to cover non-normal,

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets.

From Bayesian Inference to Logical Bayesian Inference
Bayesian Inference (BI) uses the Bayes’ posterior whereas Logical Bayesian Inference (LBI) uses the truth function or membership function as the inference tool. LBI is proposed because BI is not compatible with the classical Bayes’ prediction and does not use logical probability and hence cannot express semantic meaning. In LBI, statistical probability

A sequential deep learning framework is developed to model surface roughness progression in multi‐stage microneedle fabrication. Using real‐world experimental data from 3D printing, molding, and casting stages, an long short‐term memory‐based recurrent neural network captures the cumulative influence of geometric parameters and intermediate outputs ...
