Abstract

A model of Haiti coffee supply try to answer certain questions. The comparative advantages for this sector is measured and the market structure as well as the adopted tax policy analysed. Optimal entry and exit thresholds for Haiti coffee production is calculated when both yield and price follow a Brownian motion process. An insurance program is proposed as an alternative.
