Abstract
We provide empirical evidence that attitude towards risk is important when assessing the impact of conservation policies on production choices. We �first follow the approach used by Antle (1987) which enables �flexible estimation of the stochastic technology without ad hoc specifi�cation of risk preferences. In a second step, the impact of water quotas on farmer decisions can be solved, using risk aversion and technology parameter estimates. Application is made on a farm-level data-set from the agricultural region of Kiti in Cyprus.
