The Taxpayer Relief Act, Estate Planning, and Resource Mobility in U.S. Agriculture
Authors: Hennessy David A. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractAgricultural resources tend to be owned by individuals in the later stages of their economic life. If older agricultural resource owners tend to use resources less productively than younger owners, then much of the resource base in agriculture may be inefficiently employed. This article argues that U.S. capital taxation laws may be partly responsible for resource immobility. Capital gains taxation tends to reduce resource mobility, as does the family business estate tax exemption. The 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act could exacerbate the immobility problem.
Fads versus Fundamentals in Farmland Prices
Authors: Falk Barry , Lee Bong‐Soo 
Published: July 2006

AbstractWe develop an approach to decompose farmland price time series into three uncorrelated components: permanent fundamental component, temporary fundamental component, and nonfundamental component. This decomposition is useful for studying the importance of fundamental versus nonfundamental factors in explaining farmland price behavior and the dynamic response of farmland prices to shocks to each of these components. The approach is applied to annual Iowa farmland prices over the 1922–94 sample period. We find that fads and overreactions play important roles in explaining short‐run price behavior, while long‐run price movements are explainable by permanent fundamental shocks.
Optimal Management of a Renewable and Replaceable Resource: The Case of Coastal Groundwater
Authors: Krulce Darrell , Roumasset James A. , Wilson Tom 
Published: July 2006

AbstractThe nonrenewable‐with‐backstop model of resource management is extended to cover renewables and applied to the case of coastal groundwater. In the optimal management trajectory, efficiency price exceeds extraction cost by the sum of scarcity rent and “drawdown” cost, the latter remaining large even after the backstop price is reached. In the case of rising demand, optimal management may call for a stage of conservation followed by a stage of drawdown.
Wheat Rusts and the Costs of Genetic Diversity in the Punjab of Pakistan
Authors: Heisey Paul W. , Smale Melinda , Byerlee Derek , Souza Edward 
Published: July 2006

AbstractThe theory of impure public goods is used to demonstrate why farmers may not grow wheat cultivars with the socially desirable level of rust resistance. First, they may grow cultivars that are high yielding though susceptible to rust. Second, many farmers may grow cultivars with a similar genetic basis of resistance. Expected rust losses can be reduced by (a) more diversified genetic background in released wheat cultivars; (b) greater spatial diversity in planted cultivars; or (c) use of a temporally changing list of cultivars known to be rust resistant. Yield trade‐offs associated with these policies illustrate potential costs of increasing genetic diversity.
An Astructural Analysis of National Forest Policy and Employment
Authors: Burton Diana M. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractLinkages between sector‐specific policy and sector employment are explored using a nonstationary Markov chain analysis. When parameterization of transition probabilities between employment sectors includes policy variables, hypothesis tests can determine policy impact relative to other variables. This astructural approach eliminates bias inherent in structural models. Application of this technique to Oregon's forestry sector and national forest policy demonstrates that macroeconomic forces have statistically important effects on employment while national forest policy, measured as timber sold or timber cut, does not. This result raises questions about forest policy impact analysis and assumptions inherent in national forest policy implementation.
Cost Function Estimation under Risk Aversion
Authors: Pope Rulon D. , Just Richard E. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractStandard definitions of the cost function do not admit risk. Standard (ex post) approaches to cost function estimation yield biased and inconsistent estimates when production is stochastic. Recently an (ex ante) approach to cost function estimation with stochastic production has been developed by imbedding the distance function in the cost function estimation problem. We generalize the approach to consider risk aversion in decision making. Only two empirical studies have considered stochastic production in cost function estimation. Both have required constant returns to scale. We demonstrate a methodology sufficiently general to consider nonconstant returns to scale.
Estimating the Demand for Calories in India
Authors: Dawson Philip J. , Tiffin Richard 
Published: July 2006

AbstractThis article examines the long‐run relationship between per capita calorie intake, per capita income, and food prices using aggregate data for India, 1961–1992. Cointegration analysis yields an income elasticity of calorie intake of 0.34, while the food‐price elasticity is insignificant. Thus, economic growth in India, as measured by increasing per capita income, has significantly improved calorie intake; future income growth can alleviate further inadequate nutrition. However, significant improvements in calorie intake cannot be made directly by food subsidies. A further result is that calorie intake is Granger‐caused by income and not vice versa: income generation is unconstrained by calorie intake.
Testing the Efficient Redistribution Hypothesis: An Application to Japanese Beef Policy
Authors: Jeong Kyeong‐Soo , Bullock David S. , Garcia Philip 
Published: July 2006

AbstractWe discuss and model the structure of the political economy of Japanese beef markets, and we apply Bullock's statistical test of the efficient redistribution hypothesis to our model to study the Pareto efficiency of Japanese beef policy in 1990 and 1991. We found that, under the hypothesis that our modeled political economy adequately reflects the true Japanese beef political economy, we could not reject at the 5% significance level that Japanese beef policy was inefficient in 1990 and in 1991; however, we could reject inefficiency in 1991 at a 7% level of significance.
Exit from the Meatpacking Industry: A Microdata Analysis
Authors: Anderson Donald W. , Murray Brian C. , Teague Jackqueline L. , Lindrooth Richard C. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractWe model the determinants of plant exit from the cattle‐slaughter industry using probit to distinguish between plant‐level (e.g., age, scale, and scope) and market‐level (e.g., market share, concentration, and competitive fringe) factors. Market variables are shown to be less important determinants of exit than plant‐level factors, though a significant tendency for very small plants to exit already highly concentrated markets is apparent. Government actions to stem the industry's consolidation must consider the trade‐off between welfare gains from the reduction of market power and welfare losses from foregone technological efficiency improvements.
Endogenous Commodity Policies and the Social Benefits from Public Research Expenditures
Authors: Swinnen Johan F.M. , de Gorter Harry 
Published: July 2006

AbstractStandard analyses of social benefits of public agricultural research expenditures in the presence of commodity policies take the commodity policy as fixed. In reality governments adjust commodity policy levels when the research has important income distributional effects. We use two examples of commodity policies to analyze the consequences of endogenizing commodity policies under three alternative decision‐making models of government. Relaxing the assumption of fixed commodity policies has important impacts on conclusions regarding the social benefits of research in the presence of commodity policies.
The Silence Bleating! of the Lambdas: Comment
Authors: LaFrance Jeffrey T. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractAlston and Chalfant…s least squares test for functional form is biased. A valid test is derived for both univariate and multivariate regression models. An estimation method to account for endogenous left‐ and right‐hand‐side current‐period budget shares in the Rotterdam and LA‐AIDS models is presented. Alston and Chalfant…s strenuous rejection of the LA‐AIDS model in favor of the Rotterdam model is not supported by their data.
Economic Analysis of Irrigation in Subhumid Climate
Authors: Burt Oscar R. , Stauber M. S. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractAn economic model is developed for analysis of investments in irrigation. The model encompasses the associated problem of temporal allocation of limited irrigation water within the growing season of a single crop. The problem is placed in the framework of stochastic dynamic programming, and it is shown how the algebraic form of the production function for the crop determines the appropriate state variables of the decision process. An application of the model is made to conditions prevalent in Central Missouri with com the irrigated crop.
A new reagent system for the highly sensitive spectrophotometric determination of selenium
Authors: Revanasiddappa Hosakere , Dayananda Banadahalli 
Published: July 2006

Abstract
Highly sensitive and simple spectrophotometric determination of selenium is described for the determination of selenium(IV) using a new reagent leuco malachite green. The method is based on the reaction of selenium(IV) with potassium iodide in an acidic condition to liberate iodine, the liberated iodine oxidizes leuco malachite green to malachite green dye. The green coloration was developed in an acetate buffer (pH 4.2–4.9) on heating in a water bath (∼ 40 °C). The formed dye exhibits an absorption maximum at 615 nm. The method obeys Beer’s law over a concentration range of 0.04–0.4 µg mL−1 selenium. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of the color system were found to be 1.67 × 105 L mol−1 cm-1 and 0.5 ng cm−2, respectively. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters have been evaluated. The proposed procedure has been successfully applied to the determination of selenium in real samples of water, soil, plant material, human hair, and cosmetic samples. The results were compared to those obtained with the reference method. Statistical analysis of the results confirms the precision and accuracy of the proposed method. In addition, the developed method is cost-effective and involves easily accessible instrumentation technique which can be used by ordinary research laboratories.
An Efficient Total Synthesis of Optically Active Tetrodotoxin from Levoglucosenone
Authors: Urabe Daisuke , Nishikawa Toshio , Isobe Minoru 
Published: July 2006

AbstractTetrodotoxin, a toxic principal of puffer‐fish poisoning, is one of the most famous marine natural products, and has been known as a formidable synthetic target in synthesis owing to its multifunctional structure and unusual chemical properties. From the perspective of supplying tetrodotoxin derivatives such as labeled molecules for biochemical research, we have completed our second total synthesis of tetrodotoxin from a synthetic intermediate for 11‐deoxytetrodotoxin, which was previously prepared from levoglucosenone as a chiral starting material in this laboratory. This paper discloses the details of the total synthesis with special reference to significant influences on the neighboring functional groups found in the installation of guanidine. The established route should allow us to prepare the tetrodotoxin‐related compounds required for biochemical studies.

Initial report of percutaneous right ventricular assist for right ventricular shock secondary to right ventricular infarction
Authors: Giesler Gregory M. , Gomez Jaime S. , Letsou George , Vooletich Mary , Smalling Richard W. 
Published: July 2006

AbstractA 57‐year‐old female suffered an acute inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The patient failed thrombolysis and was urgently transferred for rescue percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery. She decompensated after reperfusion of the occluded RCA and developed cardiogenic shock from severe right heart failure refractory to IABP support and maximal pressors. A percutaneous right ventricular assist device was successfully implanted, which improved mean arterial pressure to a viable range and allowed withdrawal of inotropic medications.Right ventricular failure after infarction remains difficult to manage and has a high mortality. Intraaortic balloon pump and LVAD support have not proven beneficial in cardiogenic shock secondary to RV infarction. This is a report of the first insertion of a percutaneous right ventricular assist device for right ventricular support in a human. Further evaluation is warranted to evaluate the potential benefits of such a device as well as optimal timing of initiation of RV support. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
