The Impact of Price Support on Set-Aside Responses to an Increase in Price Uncertainty

Robert Fraser

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1994, vol. 21, issue 1, 131-36

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of increased price uncertainty on the decision to set aside croppable land. It is shown that the standard response of increased set-aside may not occur if the commodity in question is also subject to a price-support policy. In this situation, conflicting effects on the set-aside decision arise because an increase in underlying price uncertainty may increase not just the variability but also the expected level of producer prices.
