Farmers' Subjective Yield Distributions: Calibration and Implications for Crop Insurance Valuation

This paper examines the role of overconfidence in explaining farmer crop insurance purchasing decisions. The authors hypothesize that overconfidence could influence the participation decision and test this hypothesis. The preliminary results indicate that farmers are overconfident; however, the relationship between overconfidence and the insurance use remains uncertain.Risk and Uncertainty,

Minerals of bismuth and antimony in original deposits of zarmitan gold zone, located in granitoid intrusion (Uzbekistan)

Modern methods of nanomineralogy (electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis) were used to study the ores of one of the largest industrial facilities of Uzbekistan - the Zarmitan gold zone, which includes the Zarmitan, Urtalik, Guzhumsay deposits, which are located in the Koshrabadgranosyenite massif. The development of / Au-W / Au-Bi-Te / Au-As / Au-Ag-Te / Au-Ag-Se / Au-Sb-Ag / Au-Hg / types of ores. Productive mineral-geochemical types of ores are Au-Bi-Te gold-bismuth-telluride, represented by maldonite, tellurides, and sulfosalts of bismuth: hedleyite, joseite, tsumite, tetradymite, matildite, treasure, and also Au-Sb-Ag gold-silver-sulfoantimonide type represented by aurostibite, sulfoantimonidesPb, Fe, Ag: plagionite, jamsonite, boulangerite, goodmundite, ovichiite and gold-pyrite-arsenopyrite with nanogold, lellingite, gersdorfite. The main industrial resource of gold is provided by Au-Bi-Te, Au-Sb-Ag, and partially Au-As types. The objects of the Zarmitan zone belong to the orogenic gold deposits associated with the intrusion. The established mineral and geochemical features of ores are direct signs of prospecting, typification, and assessment of hidden gold mineralization of orogenic belts

Three Essays on Crop Insurance: RMA's Rules and Participation, and Perceptions

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine further the factors that influence farmers’ decisions to participate in crop insurance programs. The factors considered are RMA rules and farmers’ yield perceptions. In particular, the first paper examined the role of Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) APH calculation rules on the performance, participation, and risk protection level of actual producer history (APH) insurance. The second and third papers examined the presence of behavioral biases, such as miscalibration and better-than-average (BTA) effect in farmers’ perceptions, and related these biases to the participation. Examination of RMA rules that omit trend and sample size variability revealed that the current rules create a significant lag in yields, leading to the lower protection levels under APH yields. Results from the second and third papers showed presence of the BTA effect in directly elicited yields while revealing no such relationship for yield elicited under probabilistic framework. However, the econometric results showed no relationship between subjective yields and crop insurance purchase, suggesting that the BTA effect could be due to the elicitation format.unpublishednot peer reviewe

Ways to increase the efficiency of transport logistics - communication services in Uzbekistan

In the research article, it is emphasized that the logistics information system has a high role in the world and in the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to create effective logistics systems and speed up the process of cargo delivery, the author is asked to organize transportation and logistics information centers based in Uzbekistan on information resources in the railway sector. indicates that it occupies an important place in the practice of the main trends in the development of the transport-logistics sector of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the factors hindering the development of the local transport-logistics information system are revealed. The object of research is the transportation logistics information system of the Republic of Uzbekistan and improving its efficiency. The method of analysis, grouping, synthesis, organizational-operational model was chosen as research methods. The model proposed in the study is divided into a number of modules united by the decision of common functional tasks. With this method, it is achieved by expanding the scope of services provided, fulfilling the order on time, increasing the volume of transportation and reducing the overall operational and logistics costs. As a result of the studies, proposals were developed to increase the potential of the transport communication system of our country, to create an effective system of transport-logistics and communication services
