Agricultural Precautionary Wealth

Using panel data, the relationship between income uncertainty and the stock of wealth through precautionary saving is examined. Evidence from Kansas data is consistent with the precautionary saving motive in that farm households facing greater uncertainty in income maintain larger stocks of wealth in order to smooth consumption. These results are found by regressing net worth against measures of permanent income (life-cycle income), measures of uncertainty, and demographic variables.precautionary saving, precautionary wealth, risk, Risk and Uncertainty,

First-Order Vortex Lattice Melting and Magnetization of YBa2_2Cu3_3O$_{7-\delta}

We present the first non-mean-field calculation of the magnetization $M(T)$ of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ both above and below the flux-lattice melting temperature $T_m(H)$. The results are in good agreement with experiment as a function of transverse applied field $H$. The effects of fluctuations in both order parameter $\psi({\bf r})$ and magnetic induction $B$ are included in the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional: $\psi({\bf r})$ fluctuates within the lowest Landau level in each layer, while $B$ fluctuates uniformly according to the appropriate Boltzmann factor. The second derivative $(\partial^2 M/\partial T^2)_H$ is predicted to be negative throughout the vortex liquid state and positive in the solid state. The discontinuities in entropy and magnetization at melting are calculated to be $\sim 0.034\, k_B$ per flux line per layer and $\sim 0.0014$~emu~cm$^{-3}$ at a field of 50 kOe.Comment: 11 pages, 4 PostScript figures in one uuencoded fil
