Le risque en agriculture... un titre ambitieux pour un sujet complexe, mais un thème de réflexion à coup sûr essentiel. Agriculteurs, responsables du développement, chercheurs,... ne peuvent que se sentir concernés dans la mesure où les choix et les décisions en agriculture s’expriment dans un environnement où l’aléa et l’incertitude se manifestent de façon permanente et sous les formes les plus variées. Une cinquantaine d’auteurs relevant des sciences de la terre, des sciences biologiques et des sciences humaines, livrent leurs réflexions sur le risque en agriculture. Le lecteur est invité à parcourir un vaste champ thématique que la notion de diversité marque profondément : multiplicité des sources du risque, diversité des réponses et réponses par la diversité, pluralité des points de vue et des exemples retenus empruntés pour la plupart au monde tropical. Quatre thèmes principaux structurent l’ouvrage : — Caractérisation des risques : principes méthodologiques pour l’analyse du risque et la prise de décision, spécificité des risques liés à la manifestation de phénomènes particuliers. — Risque et pratiques paysannes : perception du risque par les acteurs, réponses tactiques et stratégiques, poids de l’environnement dans la modulation des effets du risque, incidence sur le fonctionnement et l’évolution des systèmes agraires. — Risque et changements techniques : transformations induites dans les systèmes agricoles et les conditions de milieu. Le changement technique considéré comme réponse au risque ou comme source de nouveaux risques. Contribution à la problématique de l’intensification et du transfert de technologie en agriculture. — Contexte macro-économique et politique du risque : manifestations du risque à des niveaux qui échappent en général au pouvoir des agriculteurs mais qui conditionnent largement l’activité; agricole.

Well-known empirical puzzles in international macroeconomics concern the large divergence of equilibrium outcomes for consumption across countries from the predictions of models with full risk sharing. It is commonly believed that these risk-sharing puzzles are related to another empirical puzzle-the home-bias in equity puzzle. However, we show in a series of dynamic models that the full risk sharing equilibrium may not require much diversification of equity portfolios when there is price stickiness of the degree typically calibrated in macroeconomic models. This conclusion holds under a range of assumptions about home bias in preferences, price setting as PCP or LCP, and with or without nominal wage stickiness as long as there is some price rigidity.

Australia’s four largest banks can be considered domestically systemic. They make up the lion’s share of the banking system, use similar business models, and are interconnected. The top four banks are relatively similar in terms of systemic importance, partly reflecting the authorities’ ?four pillar? policy, which aims at preventing the number of large banks from falling below four. To deal with systemic risks, the authorities deploy a multi-pronged approach consisting of risk-based supervision, recovery and resolution planning, and conservative risk weights and definitions of loss absorbent capital. Most countries that have already identified strategies to deal with their systemic institutions incorporate higher loss absorbency for systemic institutions in their approach. Market based methodologies using the expected default frequency for systemic institutions can gauge the amount of additional capital—higher loss absorbency—required to reduce the probability of failure of systemic institutions to an acceptable level. Alternatively, the implied funding cost advantage can indicate the degree of systemic importance and be used to define higher capital requirements to offset this implicit subsidy. Application of these methods to Australian banks provides a range of estimates of higher loss absorbency requirements for systemic institutions and a transparent framework for discussion and selection of these requirements.

This report looks at how investors have responded to the need to internalise investment risk in power generation and how these responses have affected the organisation of the power sector and technology choices. This study looks at several cases of volatile prices in IEA countries’ electricity markets, and finds that while market prices can be a sufficient incentive for new investment in peak capacity, government intervention into the market to limit prices may undermine such investment.
