A Note On Alterntive Market And Governmental Risk Transference Mechanisms

Author

  • Fackler, Paul L.

Abstract

The major mechanisms for the transference of price and output risk by crop producers are examined. These include the use of futures and options contracts, government price-support and deficiency-payments programs, and crop insurance. Iso-revenue curves are used to highlight the distinctions between these alternatives.
