摘要: Abstract In modelling farm systems it is widely accepted that risk plays a central role. Furthermore, farmers’ aversion determines their decisions in both the short and long run. This paper presents methodology based on multiple criteria mathematical programming to obtain relative absolute coefficients. We rely multiattribute utility theory elicit separable additive function estimate coefficients, apply this an irrigated area of Northern Spain. The results show wide variety attitudes among farmers, who usually exhibit decreasing constant aversion.
