Abstract
The impact of risk aversion on optimal allocative behaviour and its correspondence with the observed acreage allocation pattern are empirically examined here in terms of quadratic risk programming models applied to vegetable farming in Oxnord Plain, Ventura County, California. The results show among other things that water shadow prices are dependent on the risk aversion measure assumed in the models.
