Environment and Natural Resources Research, 2014 Weather risks are changing faster in North America than anywhere else in the world. Three components contribute to this risk: hazard, exposure (or values at risk) and vulnerability. While hazards are inherently natural, humans determine where values are placed and how they are protected.

Estimating a production function under production and price risks: An application to the suckler cow farms in the French charolais production area [PDF]
Suckler cow production in France relies mainly on a relatively extensive management of forage, implying that production risk may be enhanced by the sensitivity of those crops to weather variability.
