Programming For Efficient Planning Against Non-Normal Risk

Author

Listed:
  • Anderson, Jock R.

Abstract

A planning methodology is developed based on Monte Carlo sampling of plans and sorting out inefficient plans according to the rules of stochastic dominance. Illustrations and methodological comparison are made in a context of farm planning under risk, and an application in income stabilization research is indicated.
