Review of Agricultural Economics, 1993, vol. 15, issue 2, 389-401

Abstract: Bioeconomic models describe biological processes and predict the effects management decisions have on those processes. Bioeconomic models are used to improve understanding of complex production systems, to assess the effects of policies and new technologies, and to support farm-level decisions. This article examines design objectives for bioeconomic models of crop production and the implications of design objectives for model structure and function, technical challenges associated with bioeconomic model development, and problems and opportunities related to the use of bioeconomic models for direct support of crop production management decisions.
