متن کاملPanel Data Nonparametric Estimation of Production Risk and Risk Preferences: An Application to Polish Dairy Farms
We apply nonparametric panel data kernel regression to investigate production risk, output price uncertainty, and risk attitudes of Polish dairy farms based on a firm-level unbalanced panel data set that covers the period 2004–2010. We compare different model specifications and different approaches for obtaining firm-specific measures of risk attitudes. We found that Polish dairy farmers are ri...
