American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

A Piecewise-Linear Fixed Point Theorem
The American Mathematical MonthlyWe prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important consequences to the bifurcation theory of nonsmooth dynamical systems, yet the proof requires only elementary linear algebra.

Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

General equilibrium and fixed point theory : a partial survey [PDF]
Focusing mainly on equilibrium existence results, this paper emphasizes the role of fixed point theorems in the development of general equilibrium theory, as well for its standard definition as for some of its extensions.Fixed point, equilibrium ...

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

Fluids under High Pressure Insighted by Operando Neutron Imaging and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.There is limited research on how fluids behave under the extreme conditions found in fuel gas systems (high pressure) and catalytic reactors (high temperature and pressure). Neutron Imaging provides experimental data on interfacial tension, and Henry's law volatility constant, apparent molar volume, and diffusion coefficient for systems from toluene ...

On Common Fixed Point Theorem in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric Spaces [PDF]
, 2015 Fixed point theory has fascinated hundreds of researchers since 1922 with the celebrated Banach’s fixed point theorem. There exists a vast literature on the topic and this is a very active field of research at present.
