Descripción
Crop rotation effects and constraints are major determinants of farmers’ crop
choices. Crop rotations are also keystone elements of most environmentally friendly cropping
systems. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it proposes simple tools for investigating
optimal dynamic crop acreage choices accounting for crop rotation effects and constraints in
an uncertain context. Second, it illustrates the impacts of crop rotation effects and constraints
on farmers’ acreage choices through simple simulation examples. The proposed models are
sufficiently simple for being empirically tractable either in simulation studies or in
econometric analyses.
