Abstract: Simulations are used to quantify the effects of making a futures market available on adopting farmer's behavior and welfare, and on market variables (e.g., spot prices). Explicitly modeled are aggregate market effects associated with futures' adoption by many farmers, and relevant constraints (e.g., credit restrictions) often faced by commodity producers.
