Self-protection and self-insurance in pest management: The role of risk preferences and beliefs 1: Toulouse School of Economics and INRAE, France; 2: CEE, INRAE, Monpellier, France; 3: SMART-LERECO, INRAE, Rennes, France The use of pesticides by farmers is thought to harm human health and the environment. It also provides a classical example of decision-making under un- certainty, by a single agent. In our model, a farmer first decides about preventive measures (self-protection), before deciding ex-post about pesticides application (self- insurance). In order to understand the determinants of these decisions, we provide a theoretical analysis, then an analysis of the results of a survey of a group of French farmers, and finally some simulation exercises. | |
