Agriculture is highly impacted by different sources of risk. There is a wide variety of management instruments that farmers can use to cover these risks. The objective of this article is to analyze the explanatory variables for the simultaneous adoption of a large set of risk management instruments. The main innovation is the methodological approach: first, we apply a hierarchical cluster analysis to identify the groups of instruments whose adoption is correlated; second, we use multivariate probit (MVP) models to analyze the influence of different factors on the simultaneous adoption of the instruments included in each cluster. The explanatory variables capture farmers’ socio-demographic features, risk aversion and subjective perception of past risk experience; farms’ technical-economic characteristics; and local-level climate change. The results reveal significant differences in the variables influencing the adoption of the risk management instruments. The findings can support farmers, risk management service providers, and policymakers.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la gestión de calidad y su influencia en el crecimiento empresarial a partir de un análisis bibliométrico sobre la producción científica en la temática desde el año 1999 al año 2018. Se parte de una revisión de documentos científicos especializados en la base de datos Web of Science (WoS), en donde se identificaron 2.514 artículos científicos, seleccionando un total de 309 publicaciones como base para la aplicación del análisis bibliométrico. Se analizó la contribución científica por países y continentes, la metodología empleada en cada trabajo y se identificaron los principales tópicos, entre otras variables. Entre los resultados se destaca que el año de mayor productividad fue el 2018, siendoInternational Journal of Quality & Reliability Management la revista que más publicaciones ha realizado sobre el tema. Se concluye que la gestión de calidad se ha convertido en un factor influyente en el crecimiento de las empresas, considerándose como una práctica dominante en el desarrollo de las mismas.

Environmental sustainability in agriculture can be measured through the construction of composite indicators. However, this is a challenging task because these indexes are heavily dependent on how the individual base indicators are weighted. The main aim of this paper is to contribute to the existing literature regarding the robustness of subjective (based on experts’ opinions) weighting methods when constructing a composite indicator for measuring environmental sustainability at the farm level. In particular, the study analyzes two multi-criteria techniques, the analytic hierarchy process and the recently developed best-worst method, as well as the more straightforward point allocation method. These alternative methods have been implemented to empirically assess the environmental performance of irrigated olive farms in Spain. Data for this case study were collected from a panel of 22 experts and a survey of 99 farms. The results obtained suggest that there are no statistically significant differences in the weights of the individual base indicators derived from the three weighting methods considered. Moreover, the ranking of the sampled farms, in terms of their level of environmental sustainability measured through the composite indicators proposed, is not dependent on the use of the different weighting methods. Thus, the results support the robustness of the three weighting methods considered.

The rise in unemployment during the economic recession led to widespread support for Active Labour Market Policies (ALMP) from public and private institutions. Among these measures, Spain has developed the so‐called discounted flat rate for self‐employed workers, which consists of a series of reductions and subsidies applied to their social security contributions when they start their activity. The aim of this study is to evaluate this policy in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain), a region with an unemployment rate of over 20%, comparing the survival of a group of self‐employed workers who benefitted from this subsidy with that of another group without the discounted flat rate. The results suggest the survival of the group with the subsidy surpasses that of the group without, although the positive effects of the measure disappear over the long term.

Esta investigación, motivada por la literatura previa, tiene como objetivo estudiar el efecto del género del CEO en la supervivencia de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) del sector agroalimentario español a lo largo del tiempo. La elección de España se debe a que es uno de los países con mayor tasa de supervivencia de las pymes. Con este fin, se llevó a cabo un análisis empírico de los patrones de las pymes del sector agroalimentario durante el período 2000-2015. Para ello, se siguió el método de Kaplan-Meier para un análisis univariante de la supervivencia, y una regresión lineal para el análisis multivariado. Los resultados muestran que las pymes del sector agroalimentario tienen más probabilidades de sobrevivir si son dirigidas por mujeres. En este sentido, esta investigación pone de manifiesto la necesidad de promover y desarrollar políticas y programas que faciliten la presencia de mujeres en este tipo de puestos de responsabilidad.

In Mediterranean-climate regions, irrigated agriculture is especially vulnerable to the risk of hydrological drought and irrigators are particularly concerned about its negative effects. During a hydrological drought episode, irrigators receive insufficient water to meet their crops’ water needs, giving rise to the so-called ‘water supply gap’. In such circumstances, agricultural production and irrigators’ incomes are considerably reduced. In order to minimize the negative effects associated with water supply gaps, a new index-based drought insurance scheme for irrigation is proposed, linked to the variable ‘stock of water available in reservoirs’. The proposal, although tailored to Spain, could be easily adapted to other countries or regions because the features of hydrological drought risk are similar worldwide. It is expected that the proposed scheme will improve drought risk management in irrigated agriculture, stabilizing irrigators’ incomes and guaranteeing the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the face of global change.

In irrigated agricultural systems, a major source of uncertainty relates to water supply, as it significantly affects farm income. This paper investigates farmers’ utility changes associated with shifts in the probability density function of water supply leading to a higher water supply reliability (higher mean and lower variance in annual water allotments). A choice experiment relying on a mean-variance approach is applied to the case study of an irrigation district of the Guadalquivir River Basin (southern Spain). To our knowledge, this is the first study using parameters of these probability density functions of water supply as choice experiment attributes to value water supply reliability. Results show that there are different types of farmers according to their willingness to pay (WTP) for improvements in water supply reliability, with some willing to pay nothing (47.8%) while others have a relatively low (28.0%) or high (24.2%) WTP. A range of factors influencing farmers’ preferences toward water supply reliability are revealed, with those related to risk exposure to water availability being of special importance. The results can be used to assist the design of more efficient policy instruments to improve water supply reliability in Mediterranean and semi-arid climate regions.

This paper aims to develop a novel capital budgeting method to improve the quality of the appraisal process for productive investments by decomposing the total value that is created by the new assets into two components: financial value and nonfinancial capital value, the latter stemming from the intellectual capital of the firm. We propose a methodology based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Within the model, four main criteria (financial capital, human capital, structural capital, and relational capital), several subcriteria and the investment alternatives are defined. In order to determine the total value of each alternative, chief executive officer (CEO) preferences are required. A case study on the agrifood sector illustrates the model empirically. This illustrative application evidences the need to consider the impact of productive investments on firms’ intangible assets, as this impact actually affects the choice of optimal investment alternative in the real world.
