摘要：This article adds to the information base concerning the applicability of mean-Gini stochastic e.ciency analysis in agriculture. The mean-Gini e.cient set ofdecisions is characterized rigorously in terms of its corresponding absolute riskaversion. In an empirical analysis, the mean-Gini e.cient set of decisions isderived for four studies from the literature and compared to the second degreestochastic dominance e.cient set. An alternative quantitative measure of riskaversion is used to gain insight in a visceral sense to the risk preferences associatedwith mean-Gini e.cient decisions.
