Although often considered constraints to both greater productivity and the adoption of new technologies, the total impact of risk, uncertainty, and resource misallocation on agricultural production has yet to be empirically established. To fill this knowledge gap, this study analyzes how farmers' knowledge and perception of risk affects resource allocation in the production of ordinary and high-yield varieties (HYV's) of wheat. Two different production functions -- one linking expected with actual yield and the other relating actual yield and inputs -- were fitted to data gathered from 125 Northern Tunisian wheat farmers during the 1976-77 crop year. The authors then compared the two functions in order to quantify and explain errors in resource allocation and to analyze the impact of these errors on yield and land area planted in HYV's. The analysis showed that most farmers were risk adverse and were especially wary of HYV's. As a result, they were deterred from planting "riskier" HYV's and underutilized fertilizer and machinery. High risk aversion was positively related to age and the farming of valley land and was negatively related to farm size. Although farmers were quite k

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: district; squares are facilities.
