Relying on the basic agency theory model we hypothesize the prevalence of alternative marketing arrangements (AMAs) in situations with high-risk averse farmers and high-risk enterprises and the prevalence of spot (cash) markets for low risk-averse participants and less risky enterprises. Our empirical tests are carried out using the 2004 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). The empirical results are largely supportive of the agency theory of contract choice. 000168930 546__ $$aEnglish 000168930 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000168930 650__ $$aIndustrial Organization 000168930 650__ $$aMarketing 000168930 650__ $$aRisk and Uncertainty 000168930 6531_ $$aAgency theory 000168930 6531_ $$aRisk 000168930 6531_ $$aContract choice. 000168930 700__ $$aHu, Wu-Yueh 000168930 700__ $$aVukina, Tomislav 000168930 700__ $$aZheng, Viaoyong 000168930 773__ $$d2014 000168930 8564_ $$924b9b774-839b-4f57-ba17-ab08aaa73233$$s566229$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/168930/files/AE_20131212.pdf 000168930 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/168930 000168930 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:168930$$pGLOBAL_SET 000168930 912__ $$nSubmitted by Wu-Yueh Hu (wyhu@nchu.edu.tw) on 2014-05-19T10:10:24Z No. of bitstreams: 1 AE_20131212.pdf: 566229 bytes, checksum: 9c7302cbc2467cb075acf057c93a656a (MD5) 000168930 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-05-19T10:10:24Z (GMT).
