Risk Aversion and Price Risk in Duality Models of Production: A Linear Mean-Variance Approach

Barry T. Coyle

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 74, issue 4, 849-859

Abstract: A duality model of production is developed that permits risk aversion and price uncertainty. The linear mean-variance framework employed is tractable for empirical research, in contrast to duality models of risk based on a generalized expected utility function. The framework is more general than in standard price certainty models while retaining the simplicity needed for empirical research.
