英文文献：Farm-Level Evidence On The Risk Balancing Hypothesis From Illinois Grain Farms
英文文献作者：Escalante, Cesar L.,Barry, Peter J.
英文文献摘要：
This study provides farm-level empirical support to the Risk-Balancing Hypothesis using Illinois grain farm data. The econometric results indicate that risk-balancing farmers comprise more than half of the sample. These farmers tend to be older, have higher leasing ratios, are less financially efficient and manage risk through crop specialization, enterprise diversification, and marketing strategies in addition to risk balancing.
