“…For example, Hazell et al (1983), Simmons & Pomareda (1975) and Kutcher Scandizzo (1981) reported 0 values ranging from 0,5 to 1,5 for sector models in Mexico and Brazil. Nieuwoudt et al (1976) used a value of 2 because it gave the best solution in simulating peanut production in the USA, while Ortmann & Nieuwoudt (1987) and Nieuwoudt and Frank (1987) reported 0 values of 0,25 and 0,5 in simulating regional sugar-cane and maize production, respectively, in South Africa. In these sector models 0 is theoretically an aggregate of risk aversion coefficients of all farmers in the region.…”
