Reply: ranking crop yield models.
We welcome the comment by Ramirez and McDonald (RM) and view the
comment as a proposed extension of our 2004 paper (Norwood, Roberts, and
Lusk). There is little to disagree within what they have to . . .
Ranking crop yield models a comment.
Alternatives to model and simulate yield and price distributions
for empirical risk analyses have been proposed in the agricultural
economics literature since the early 1970s. A recent article in . . .
Are revisions to USDA crop production forecasts smoothed?
Agricultural markets are inherently unstable, primarily due to a
combination of inelastic demand for food and production technology that
is subject to the natural vagaries of weather, disease, and . . .
Posted prices and bid affiliation: evidence from experimental
auctions.
Experimental auctions have become a popular tool in many branches
of economics, including agricultural, environmental, and regulatory
economics. Economists have used experimental auctions to . . .
Simulating the impacts of contract supplies in a spot
market-contract market equilibrium setting.
Livestock contracting and other forms of vertical coordination can
provide positive benefits by offering a mechanism to smooth production,
share risk, and provide proper incentives for attainment . . .
Consumers' willingness to pay for the color of salmon: a
choice experiment with real economic incentives.
During the past decade, economists have used experimental markets
to investigate consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for
food quality attributes. The most popular method has been . . .
Labeling context and reference point effects in models of food
attribute demand.
Conventional economic analysis of consumer choices focuses on the
utility arising from alternative bundles of goods and services available
to the consumer. The random utility model assumes that . . .
Consumer demand for a ban on antibiotic drug use in pork
production.
Livestock feed and water are routinely supplemented with
antimicrobial drugs. In the 1940s, animal scientists demonstrated that
higher growth and feed conversion rates could be achieved by . . .
Anti-corporate farming laws and industry structure: the case of
cattle feeding.
Nine states--Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin--have laws that restrict
corporate involvement in agricultural production (Haroldson . . .
Block-rate versus uniform water pricing in agriculture: an
empirical analysis.
Recent decades of population and income growth have aggravated the
problem of water shortages in many parts of the world. This is
increasingly leading policy makers to be interested in the use . . .
Illegal landings: an aggregate catch self-reporting
mechanism.
Fishing is a classic example of an open-access renewable resource
problem requiring regulation if optimal exploitation is to be ensured.
The problem arises because the individual fisherman . . .
On measuring the value of a nonmarket good using market
data.
Economists sometimes wish to use market data to measure the welfare
effects of a change in a nonmarket good. For example, they may wish to
measure the value of an increase in river water quality . . .
Tariff equivalent of technical barriers to trade with imperfect
substitution and trade costs.
Article 20 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
permits governments to set their own standards and regulations on trade
in order to protect human, animal, or plant life or health, . . .
Urban influence on costs of production in the Corn Belt.
The intrusion of low-density nonfarm development into traditionally
rural areas is affecting more and more U.S. farmland (Heimlich and
Anderson 2001). The direct effect of such development, the . . .
Urban sprawl and farmland prices.
Urban sprawl and land use has become a major policy issue since the
1980s. The expansion of urban areas has reduced farmland around many
major metropolitan areas (Greene and Stager 2001). This . . .
On monoculture and the structure of crop rotations.
One of the defining features of crop agriculture throughout much of
the world is the widespread practice of cropping in rotation. In the
United States, rotation strategies have been an important . . .
Information exchange and distributional implications of price
discrimination with internet marketing in agriculture.
Since 1997, use of the Internet in agriculture has accelerated
rapidly although greater use has occurred by agribusinesses and larger
farms than small farms (Wolf et al. 1998; Just and Just 2001). . . .
Information sharing and oligopoly in agricultural markets: the
role of the cooperative bargaining association.
Many markets for farm output are plausibly characterized by some
degree of imperfect competition. This is certainly true in most fruit
and vegetable markets where growers are numerous, and . . .
