Assisting Whole-Farm Decision-Making through Stochastic Budgeting
نویسنده
چکیده
Stochastic budgeting is used to simulate the business and financial risk and the performance over a six-year planning horizon on a Norwegian dairy farm. A major difficulty with stochastic whole-farm budgeting lies in identifying and measuring dependency relationships between stochastic variables. Some methods to account for these stochastic dependencies are illustrated. The financial feasibility of different investment and management strategies is evaluated. In contrast with earlier studies with stochastic farm budgeting, the option aspect is included in the analysis.

Assessing the potential value for an automated dairy cattle body condition scoring system through stochastic simulation
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a dynamic, stochastic, mechanistic simulation model of a dairy business to evaluate the cost and benefit streams coinciding with technology investments. The model was constructed to embody the biological and economical complexities of a dairy farm system within a partial budgeting framework. A primary objective was to establish a flexible, user-...
متن کاملReview of whole-farm economic modelling for irrigation farming
The main objective of this paper is to review the progress that has been made in South Africa with respect to whole-farm economic modelling over the past 2 decades. Farming systems are complex and careful consideration to the stochastic dynamic nature of irrigation farming processes and their linkages with the larger water system is necessary when conducting whole-farm modelling. Both simulatio...
متن کاملMultiperiod Multiproduct Advertising Budgeting: Stochastic Optimization Modeling
We propose a stochastic optimization model for the Multiperiod Multiproduct Advertising Budgeting problem, so that the expected profit of the advertising investment is maximized. The model is a convex optimization problem that can readily be solved by plain use of standard optimization software. It has been tested for planning a realistic advertising campaign. In our case study, the expected pr...
متن کاملThe Application of Real Options to Capital Budgeting
Real options theory suggests that managerial flexibility embedded within irreversible investments can account for a significant value in project valuation. Although the argument has become the dominant focus of capital investment theory over decades, yet recent survey literature in capital budgeting indicates that corporate practitioners still do not explicitly apply real options in investment ...
متن کاملElectronic Participatory Budgeting: Supporting Community Deliberation and Decision-making with Online Tools
Participatory budgeting is a relatively new movement in public administration to involve citizens in civic decision-making. Electronic participatory budgeting can lower opportunity costs and engage more citizens in public budgeting. Drawing from research on participatory budgeting in particular and public administration, public policy, and information systems in general, this research establish...
