This paper addresses the impacts of degree of risk aversion, subsidy scheme and choice of utility function on optimal farm plans in Norwegian agriculture. Data from a farm business survey (1991-1997) are combined with subjective judgements to formulate a two-stage utility-efficient programming model. Under existing policy and market conditions, the ex ante expectation was that farmers' risk attitudes are unlikely to have a large effect on choice of enterprise mix. The results tend to confirm this view, and a farmer who is hardly risk averse at all would choose the same farm plan as a very risk averse farmer. Factors such as subsidy schemes, market conditions for the products and available labour on the farm are found to be more important determinants of the optimal plans than farmers' risk attitude or the form of the utility function.

A computer model for long-term forest management analysis is described. It is a deterministic simulation model, and provides means for a range of possible analyses; different management strategies, i.e. harvest- and silvicultural investment strategies, along with the corresponding cash flow, development of forest state and profitability. The description is accompanied by a case study, employing some features of the model, based on data covering Hedmark county in Norway, with the objective of mapping consequences for potential harvest level and net present value related to varying treatments for different border zone types.
