A NOTE ON ALTERNTIVE MARKET AND GOVERNMENTAL RISK TRANSFERENCE MECHANISMS

Paul Fackler ()

Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1989, vol. 21, issue 2, 7

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.
