Eliciting time and risk preferences of farmers

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract We jointly elicit the time and risk preferences of farmers using a survey. Assuming risk neutrality (linear utility), we estimate a mean annual discount rate of 15.3%, which falls to 4.2% when accounting for risk preferences. Most farmer characteristics have an insignificant relationship with time and risk preferences, except that the percent ...

A Bibliometric‐Based Review of Biochar for Salt‐Affected Soil Restoration: Mapping Research Trends and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.
