Abstract

This paper has investigated the effects of crop biodiversity on the mean and the variance of yield in rice production. It used panel data from 22 research stations of Rural Development Administration in Korea during 1997-2004. We found evidence that yield risk is positively related with crop biodiversity measured as a Herfindahl concentration index of varietal diversity. In other words, crop biodiversity is found to be a risk-decreasing input.
