The Effect of Agricultural Policies on Land Use and Environmental Quality
Authors: Plantinga Andrew J.
Published: July 2006

In this paper I consider the environmental quality gains that may be achieved by reducing agricultural income supports. A new methodology is developed to estimate land use shares. In an application to Wisconsin, milk price support reductions result in shifts of marginal agricultural land to forest, reducing soil erosion and providing off‐site water quality improvements. The environmental benefits are estimated to be at least as large as the decreased welfare burden on consumers and taxpayers, indicating a central role for environmental quality considerations in motivating policy reforms and a more efficient means of achieving the environmental quality goals of land retirement programs.
Structural Change in Factor Demand Relationships in the U.S. Food and Kindred Products Industry
Authors: Goodwin Barry K. , Brester Gary W.
Published: July 2006

This analysis utilizes multivariate gradual switching regression techniques and Bayesian inferential procedures to evaluate structural change in factor demand relationships in the food manufacturing industry. Food materials are included as an input into the food manufacturing industry. The results confirm a significant gradual structural change that initiated in 1980. Price elasticities indicate that the demands for raw food materials and energy have become more elastic while the demand for labor has become less elastic. Morishima elasticities of substitution indicate that nearly all factors are substitutes and that the degree of substitutability has significantly increased in recent years.
Using Benefit‐Cost Criteria for Settling Federalism Disputes: An Application to Food Safety Regulation
Authors: Caswell Julie A. , Kleinschmit v. L. Jaana K.
Published: July 2006

Federalism disputes arising from state regulations, particularly those pursuing health, safety, and environmental goals, are common in the U.S. political system. Discussion of bases for settling such disputes often focuses on the in‐ and out‐state incidence of benefits and costs, but incidence is a complex concept that has not been systematically analyzed. We discuss five dimensions important to evaluating incidence and present benefit‐cost spillover criteria for judging federalism disputes. When applied to a Massachusetts regulation of Alar residues in heat‐processed apple products, the criteria reach different conclusions on its appropriateness, highlighting key considerations in evaluating state regulation in a federal system.
Water Conservation Policy Analysis: An Interregional, Multi‐Output, Primal‐Dual Optimization Approach
Authors: Schaible Glenn D.
Published: July 2006

An interregional, multi‐output, normalized restricted‐equilibrium model of field‐crop agriculture is estimated within the context of a multistage, programming‐based, system estimation procedure. Implicit, total economic‐cost functions endogenize behavioral, opportunity adjustment costs of fixed and allocatable land and water resources. Crop‐specific, Marshallian water‐demand elasticities are estimated for restricted and unrestricted groundwater substitution environments, and decomposed by water source. Elasticities are inelastic, but water‐price policy reform can be an effective water‐conservation policy tool when groundwater use is unrestricted. When groundwater use is restricted, effective conservation policy requires more dramatic water‐price policy reform.
A Biophysical Model of Corn Yield: Integrating Climatic and Social Determinants
Authors: Kaufmann Robert K. , Snell Seth E.
Published: July 2006

We estimate a model that accounts for both climatic and social determinants of corn yield in the United States. Climate variables are specified for periods that correspond to phenological stages of development. Social determinants include market conditions, technical factors, scale of production, and the policy environment. The model accounts for the historical and cross‐sectional variation in yield, and the interpretation of coefficients is consistent with independent analyses of the climatic and social determinants. The hybrid model provides a framework for assessing the effect of, and adaptation to, climate change.
Systemic Risk, Reinsurance, and the Failure of Crop Insurance Markets
Authors: Miranda Mario J. , Glauber Joseph W.
Published: July 2006

Without affordable reinsurance, private crop insurance markets are doomed to fail because systemic weather effects induce high correlation among farm‐level yields, defeating insurer efforts to pool risks across farms. Using an empirical model of the U.S. crop insurance market, we find that U.S. crop insurer portfolios are twenty to fifty times riskier than they would be otherwise if yields were stochastically independent across farms. We also find that area yield reinsurance contracts would enable crop insurers to cover most of their systemic crop loss risk, reducing their risk exposure to levels typically experienced by more conventional property liability insurers.
Functional Form and Welfare Measures in Truncated Recreation Demand Models
Authors: Ozuna Teofilo , Jones Lonnie L. , Capps Oral
Published: July 2006

This article examines the effect on welfare measures of functional form choice and sample truncation. A truncated general Box‐Cox model is developed for discriminating between alternative truncated functional forms. The model is applied to the valuation of three Texas coastal recreation sites. Neither the truncated double‐log nor the truncated semilog forms are appropriate for the truncated data used in the empirical analysis. Different functional forms yield different consumer's surplus estimates when samples are truncated.
Bycatch Control in Multispecies Fisheries: A Quasi‐rent Share Approach to the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Midwater Trawl Pollock Fishery
Authors: Larson Douglas M. , House Brett W. , Terry Joseph M.
Published: July 2006

“Optimal” bycatch rules and quota share price estimates are derived from a multispecies production technology model of the factory trawler fleet targeting on midwater pollock in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands region of the North Pacific Ocean. Data routinely collected by federal and state fisheries officials on catch and revenue by species, week, and operation are used to identify the aggregate restricted quasi‐rent function for the fishery by estimating the associated system of inverse demands for species quotas. The model is estimated using data for the 1991 and 1992 seasons, and separability and nonjointness of the technology are tested for and rejected.
Factors Affecting the Timing of Purchasing of Butter, Margarine, and Blends: A Competing Goods Analysis
Authors: Gould Brian W.
Published: July 2006

The purchase dynamics of a subset of food fats and oils are investigated using event‐history analysis applied to a panel of U.S. households. The consumer behavior examined is the switching between purchases of butter, margarine, and butter/margarine blends across purchase occasions. We find that price, previous purchases, seasonality, and household size and composition affect product‐switching probability.
The Effects of Crop Yield Insurance Designs on Farmer Participation and Welfare
Authors: Wang H. Holly , Hanson Steven D. , Myers Robert J. , Black J. Roy
Published: July 2006

The performance of individual farm yield and area yield crop insurance programs is evaluated for a representative Iowa corn farm using numerical optimization of expected utility and simulation techniques. Several different contract design features are studied, including the nature of the yield index which triggers insurance payouts, alternative restrictions on coverage levels, and alternative pricing structures. Performance is evaluated in terms of impacts on farmer participation and welfare and is examined in a portfolio setting where futures and options are also available to farmers. The relative performance of different crop insurance designs is found to be particularly sensitive to restrictions on coverage levels, the size of premium loadings, and the degree to which individual farm yields are correlated with area yields.
Recovering Output‐Specific Inputs from Aggregate Input Data: A Generalized Cross‐Entropy Approach
Authors: Lence Sergio H. , Miller Douglas J.
Published: July 2006

For multiproduct firms, data on aggregate input usage are typically available but data on activity‐specific inputs are not. The present study proposes a generalized cross‐entropy approach to estimate activity‐specific input allocations that are consistent with the aggregate information. The proposed method does not require behavioral assumptions (e.g., profit maximization) but does accommodate behavioral restrictions as well as nonsample information about the plausible factor shares across enterprises. Monte Carlo experiments using simulated data for multifactor‐multiproduct firms are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
Structural Versus Reduced‐Form Estimation of Optimal Stopping Problems
Authors: Provencher Bill
Published: July 2006

In this paper I examine several statistical, interpretive, and policy implications of reduced‐form (probit or logit) estimation of optimal stopping problems. The discussion proceeds in the context of an examination of the timber harvest decision of nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners. For a large class of optimal stopping problems a reduced‐form model which closely approximates the statistical performance of its structural counterpart is readily found. Still, failure to properly interpret the relationship between the reduced‐form model and the underlying optimal stopping problem invites flawed econometric analysis and inappropriate interpretation of reduced‐form coefficients.
The Meaning of Kinship in Sharecropping Contracts
Authors: Sadoulet Elisabeth , de Janvry Alain , Fukui Seiichi
Published: July 2006

Analysis of a household survey from the Philippines shows that the behavior of sharecroppers with a kinship relation with their landlord is not affected by the disincentive effects of product and factor sharing, while behavior of the other sharecroppers responds to the contract terms. We characterize the meaning of kinship ties through a survey of opinion conducted among tenants. The survey shows that kin landlords help or are expected to help more frequently in case of emergency than other landlords, and they do so with a wider range of instruments, providing the incentive for cooperative behavior in sharecropping contracts among kin.
Dynamics of Beef Cow Herd Size: An Inventory Approach
Authors: Schmitz John D.
Published: July 2006

Cow herd inventories are the primary determinant of beef supply. The principal decisions determining inventories are studied in a dynamic framework. Short‐run and long‐run impacts of one‐time shocks in economic factors influencing culling and replacement decisions are estimated via simulations. Changes in economic factors have the greatest impact on younger members of the herd. These changes have long‐term impacts on inventories through their influence on age dynamics. Impacts on age dynamics could influence the cattle cycle.
Technical Change and Model Specification: U.S. Agricultural Production
Authors: Lim Hongil , Shumway C. Richard
Published: July 2006

U.S. agricultural crop and livestock relationships are examined in the context of both duality and time‐series econometrics. Based on time‐series test results, cointegrated models are estimated. Traditional models generally overestimated the precision of statistical relationships and gave a considerable number of spurious results, particularly with regard to technical change. When time‐series properties of the data were addressed, there was much less evidence of bias in technical change. Model specification test results were sensitive both to the time‐series specification of the maintained model and its functional form. Preferred functional form depended on the choice criterion.
Dietary Bounds and Unshackled Demand Specifications
Authors: Driscoll Paul J. , McGuirk Anya M.
Published: July 2006

Conventional tests of revealed preference axioms (WARP and GARP) may yield false rejections of the hypothesis of a unique preference ordering when consumers face constraints in addition to a budget constraint. In this paper, nonparametric tests of WARP and GARP are generalized for consumers who enforce multiple constraints. In conjunction with conventional tests, the modified tests are used to reject meat demand specifications that are functions solely of price and expenditure variables. Richer specifications that include consumer perceptions of the fat content of meats and the fat constraint value in addition to conventional price and expenditure variables cannot be rejected.
The Dynamics of Convenience and the Brazilian Soybean Boom
Authors: Frechette Darren L.
Published: July 2006

U.S. and Brazilian soybeans are harvested on an alternating semiannual cycle that generates predictable dynamic behavior in the soybean futures market. Because corn and soybeans are storage substitutes, their physical storage costs move together and can be isolated separately from crop‐specific marginal convenience yields along the futures price profile. The Kaldor‐Working convenience yield hypothesis is tested for the international soybean market and storage risk is measured.
Variations on Invariance or Some Unpleasant Nonparametric Arithmetic
Authors: Chalfant James A. , Zhang Bin
Published: July 2006

The nonparametric approach to production or demand analysis involves testing data for compatibility with restrictions from theory. This avoids reliance on particular functional forms. When the data are not consistent with utility or profit maximization, adjustments in the data using linear programming can restore consistency. Such adjustments have been interpreted as taste changes or measures of technical change and technical change bias. This paper describes nonparametric approaches and shows that the programming methods that have been used yield results that are not invariant to the scaling of prices and quantities. A solution is proposed that solves the invariance problem.
On Price Indices in the Almost Ideal Demand System
Authors: Asche Frank , Wessells Cathy R.
Published: July 2006

A number of papers have discussed the relationship between the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and its linear approximation (LA/AIDS). In this paper, it is shown that if the prices in the system are normalized to one, the AIDS and LA/AIDS representations are identical at the point of normalization. Also, at the point of normalization, the expressions for price and expenditure elasticities from both systems are identical.
Demand for Prepared Meals by U.S. Households
Authors: Park John L. , Capps Oral
Published: July 2006

Using the 1987–88 NFCS, a Heckman two‐stage procedure was used to estimate the demand for prepared meals by U.S. households. Prepared meals were defined as those ready to eat and those ready to cook. Households headed by younger, more educated, and time‐constrained managers were more likely to purchase prepared meals. Income elasticities ranged from 0.07 to 0.13, while own‐price elasticities ranged from −0.23 to −0.66. Evidence exists to indicate that prepared meals and food‐away‐from‐home are substitutes. The presence of teenagers in a household is positively associated with expenditures of prepared meals.
Effects of the Internal Wage on Output Supply: A Structural Estimation for Japanese Rice Farmers
Authors: Sonoda Tadashi , Maruyama Yoshihiro
Published: July 2006

The “shadow” or “internal” wage plays a crucial role, via the “internal wage effect,” in models of agricultural households with absent or constrained off‐farm wage employment. To verify its empirical relevance, parameters of the production and welfare functions are estimated for Japanese rice farmers. It is inferred from this structural estimation that their off‐farm wage employment is actually constrained and that the “internal wage effect” of changes in the price of rice significantly influences their supply of rice.
Estimation of Demand Functions Using Cross‐Sectional Household Data: The Problem Revisited
Authors: Dong Diansheng , Shonkwiler J.S. , Capps Oral
Published: July 2006

A procedure that corrects for selectivity bias is proposed to estimate demand functions using cross‐sectional data under the assumption that prices vary across households. This procedure, which extends the work by Cox and Wohlgenant, includes a two‐equation system of expenditure and unit value functions. This model is applied to household expenditures for beef steaks and roasts.
A Dynamic Option Value for Institutional Change: Marketable Property Rights in the Sahel
Authors: Zimmerman Frederic J. , Carter Michael R.
Published: July 2006

In this article we use dynamic programming methods to create an option value measure of the value of the institutional innovation of marketable property rights. This measure has two properties that are important to understanding institutional change: it is truly dynamic and it allows for agent heterogeneity. In the case of West Africa, we find that the collapse of customary risk management institutions is a vital part of the demand for marketability rights as agents struggle to smooth income and consumption in its wake. We find that the social efficiency implications of this demand for institutional innovation are ambiguous.
Transport Costs and Smallholder Cropping Choices: An Application to Siaya District, Kenya
Authors: Omamo Steven Were
Published: July 2006

Smallholders regularly devote shares of resources to low‐yielding food crops than they do to cash crops that have higher market returns. In this paper, costly exchange is incorporated into an agricultural household model, and a numerical nonseparable version of the model is used to show that seemingly inefficient cropping choices of this type in Siaya District, Kenya, can be explained as rational food import substitution given high transport costs in product markets. Improved rural road networks that reduce these costs could abate motives to meet food needs through domestic production and promote specialization that raises farm incomes.
A Linear Alternative to Quadratic and Semivariance Programming for Farm Planning under Uncertainty
Authors: Hazell P. B. R.
Published: July 2006

Quadratic decision criteria for farm planning are theoretically appealing but difficult to handle computationally. This paper reviews the advantages of the quadratic approach and develops a linear alternative which, while retaining most of the desired features of the quadratic models, can be readily solved on conventional linear programming codes with the parametric option.
The Regional Impact of Lamb Imports on Equilibrium Returns to Domestic Producers, 1967
Authors: Carman Hoy F. , Maetzold James A.
Published: July 2006

There is little agreement on producer costs and consumer benefits resulting from meat imports. This paper utilizes a spatial equilibrium model to analyze the regional impact of three levels of lamb imports on United States lamb producers and consumers. Results demonstrate regional as well as quarterly variation. Most of the variation is explained by quarterly marketing patterns, shifts in demand, changes in optimum distribution patterns, changes in levels of imports and ports of entry, and restricted ports of entry for imports.
Ultrafast Electron Diffraction: Structural Dynamics of Molecular Rearrangement in the NO Release from Nitrobenzene
Authors: He Yonggang , Gahlmann Andreas , Feenstra Jonathan S. , Park Sang Tae , Zewail Ahmed H.
Published: July 2006

Nitro compounds release NO, NO2, and other species, but neither the structures during the reactions nor the time scales are known. Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) allowed the study of the NO release from nitrobenzene, and the molecular pathways and the structures of the transient species were identified. It was observed, in contrast to previous inferences, that nitric oxide and phenoxyl radicals are formed dominantly and that the time scale of formation is 8.8±2.2 ps. The structure of the phenoxyl radical was determined for the first time, and found to be quinoid‐like. The mechanism proposed involves a repulsive triplet state, following intramolecular rearrangement. This efficient generation of NO may have important implications for the control of by‐products in drug delivery and other applications.
The effect of additives and mechanical agitation in surface modification of acrylic fibres by cutinase and esterase
Authors: Matamá Teresa , Vaz Filipe , Gübitz Georg M. , Cavaco‐Paulo Artur
Published: July 2006

The surface of an acrylic fibre containing about 7% of vinyl acetate was modified using Fusarium solani pisi cutinase and a commercial esterase, Texazym PES. The effect of acrylic solvents and stabilising polyols on cutinase operational stability was studied. The half‐life time of cutinase increased by 3.5‐fold with the addition of 15% N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMA) and by 3‐fold with 1M glycerol. The impact of additives and mechanical agitation in the protein adsorption and in the hydrolysis of vinyl acetate from acrylic fabric was investigated. The hydroxyl groups produced on the surface of the fibre were able to react specifically with Remazol Brilliant Blue R (cotton reactive dye) and to increase the colour of the acrylic‐treated fabric. The best staining level was obtained with a high level of mechanical agitation and with the addition of 1% DMA. Under these conditions, the raise in the acrylic fabric colour depth was 30% for cutinase and 25% for Texazym. The crystallinity degree, determined by X‐ray diffraction, was not significantly changed between control samples and samples treated with cutinase. The results showed that the outcome of the application of these enzymes depends closely on the reaction media conditions.
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage from inferior epigastric artery: Value of femoral angiography for detection and management
Authors: Kawamura Akio , Piemonte Thomas C. , Nesto Richard W. , Gossman David E.
Published: July 2006

Laceration of the inferior epigastric artery during cardiac catheterization is under‐reported in the literature, but it is a serious complication leading to retroperitoneal hemorrhage and even death. We report on two cases of retroperitoneal bleeding from unintentional puncture of the inferior epigastric artery during cardiac catheterization. Femoral angiography is a valuable tool to promptly recognize this complication. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
