The model studies the dynamics of risk-sharing cooperatives among heterogeneous farmers. Based on their knowledge on their risk exposure and the performance of the cooperative farmers choose whether or not to remain in the risk-sharing agreement.

This is a stylized model based on Alonso’s model investigating the relationship between urban sprawl and income segregation.
