Farmers risk-balancing, consumption and optimal debt level

This paper presents a stochastic optimal control/dynamic programming (SOC/DP) approach to derive the optimal debt level and consumption in farm models concerning two sources of undertainty: the return on assets and real interest rate. The SOC/DP analytic framework is used to analyze the impact of ri...
