Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

New results on composed variants of the Young integral inequality [PDF]

Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications
In this article, we contribute to the theory of integral inequalities by developing new composed variants of the Young integral inequality. The novelties include some convexity assumptions on the composition function, allowing the use of original tools ...

Weak Type Inequalities for Some Integral Operators on Generalized Nonhomogeneous Morrey Spaces

Journal of Function Spaces and Applications, 2013
We prove weak type inequalities for some integral operators, especially generalized fractional integral operators, on generalized Morrey spaces of nonhomogeneous type.

Inequalities for Beta and Gamma Functions Via Some Classical and New Integral Inequalities [PDF]

, 1999
In this survey paper we present the natural application of certain integral inequalities such as, Chebychev's inequality for synchronous and asynchronous mappings, Holder's inequality and Gruss' and Ostrowski's inequalities for the celebrated Euler's ...

Generalized integral Jensen inequality

Journal of Inequalities and Applications
In this paper we introduce necessary and sufficient conditions for a real-valued function to be preinvex. Some properties of preinvex functions and new versions of Jensen’s integral type inequality in this setting are given.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

On Hilbert's Integral Inequality

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1998
In this paper, the Hilbert integral inequality \[ \int^\infty_0 \int^\infty_0 {f(x)g(y)\over x+y} dx dy\leq \pi\Biggl(\int^\infty_0 f^2(x)dx\Biggr)^{1/2}\Biggl(\int^\infty_0 g^2(x)dx\Biggr)^{1/2}\tag{1} \] and its equivalent form \[ \int^\infty_0 \Biggl(\int^\infty_0 {f(x)\over x+y} dx\Biggr)^2 dy\leq \pi^2\int^\infty_0 f^2(x)dx\tag{2} \] are ...
