| Description |
This study looks at the relationship between crop yield stability and household income variability for a sample of resource-poor farm households in India's semiarid tropics. It notes that increased yield variability is unlikely to result in significantly high income variability. Thus, little economic value should be attached to the risk-reducing attributes of improved varietal technologies for resource-poor households in India's semiarid tropics.
