Adaptation of the Farm-Capital Structure to Uncertainty

Abstract: In a sense, therefore, we are forced to do empirical research on the extent and significance of uncertainty mainly through the use of data that reflect but that do not necessarily measure uncertainty. The data measure differences either the causal or the effect aspects of the phenomenon. Such data are most useful to test conjectural hypotheses for conformity to facts. The illustrative data used in this paper obviously represent only first beginnings in a search for empirical evidence of differential adaptations of farm-capital structure patterns to presumptive differences in uncertainty.
