Fun outing with colleagues 🧗‍♂️

Last September, a team from @zalf.bsky.social won 2nd place at the ProWissen 10K team race in Potsdam. Last Sunday, we redeemed our prize and went bouldering. Super fun!

Unfortunately, no. I had the very same discussion with a colleague just yesterday. TC, in general, appears to be some sort of black box, as there is very little empirical evidence on that. If you find something, please let me know.

This paper reflects on the replication study conducted two years ago: Farmers' risk preferences in 11 European farming systems: A multi-country replication of Bocquého et al. (2014)

Abstract of Farmers' risk preferences in 11 European farming systems: A multi-country replication of Bocquého et al. (2014).
We replicate Bocquého et al. (2014), who used multiple price lists to investigate the risk preferences of 107 French farmers. We collected new data from 1430 participants in 11 European farming systems. In agreement with the original study, farmers' risk preferences are best described by Cumulative Prospect Theory. Structural model estimates show that farmers in the new samples are, on average, less loss averse and more susceptible to probability distortion than in the original study. Explorative analyses indicate differences between estimation approaches, as well as heterogeneity between and within samples. We discuss challenges in replications of economic experiments with farmers across farming contexts.

New paper on the lessons learned from conducting lab-in-the-field experiments with European farmers.

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Abstract of the paper: Multi-country perspectives on best practices and barriers to preference elicitation lab-in-the-field experiments with farmers.
In this study, we define, categorize, and systematically describe best practices and barriers to implementing preference elicitation lab-in-the-field experiments with farmers based on qualitative, in-depth interviews with researchers from the Research Network on Economic Experiments for the Common Agricultural Policy (REECAP). Following an assessment of the challenges the researchers faced and the solutions they adopted, we provide a step-by-step guide to conducting such experiments. We elaborate on limitations and provide recommendations and suggestions for future research.

Conference Landscape 2024
Agroecosystems in Transformation: Visions, Technologies and Actors

17 - 19 September 2024
Berlin, Germany
landscape2024.org

Keynotes // Scientific sessions // Poster sessions // and more!
Rationale and Aims

The LANDSCAPE 2024 conference will bring together international experts to discuss the transformation of agroecosystems.

The conference will address the importance of visions for the future of agricultural landscapes as well as the roles of innovative technologies and actors in driving sustainable changes in these landscapes.
Focusing on the landscape level, the conference provides a unique opportunity for researchers from various domains to share their knowledge and experiences and contribute to the transformation of agroecosystems.

LANDSCAPE 2024 invites scientific contributions from multiple disciplines relevant to agricultural landscapes and agroecosystems, including crop and soil sciences, ecology, land systems sciences and bio- and digital technology-associated sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

This is an excellent tool. I generally keep track of where my research is cited in policy, but I found a lot more citations through this tool that I wasn't aware of! #AcademicSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The database is available in the supplementary material and likely helpful for future studies, such as meta-analyses etc.

Lastly, we highlight which fields might be saturated, while also highlighting gaps in the literature. We conclude that DCE are very helpful, but should be triangulated with other experimental and non-experimental methods for agri-environmental policy design.

Christoph Schulze @qrisschulze.bsky.social · Dec 20

Moreover, we identify 3 ideal types of DCE studies with farmers: 1) primary focus: land use prescription 2) building on land use prescription, but focusing on contract design 3) combining preference analysis of land use prescriptions and contract design features.

Christoph Schulze @qrisschulze.bsky.social · Dec 20

Going through the literature, we structured the empirical studies into two groups: 1) studies analysing land use prescriptions, and 2) studies analysing precise contract design features.

Based on this classification, we analyse and compare the findings of respective subcategories.
