Pesticides Uses in Crop Production: What Can We Learn from French Farmers Practices?
Fadhuile, Adelaide; Lemarie, Stephane; Pirotte, Alain - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
This article focuses on the demand system of French farmers concerning pesticides uses. We estimate the demand …. Then we compare two indexes that are used in agronomic literature to measure the intensity of pesticides uses. We retain a … and 2006 covering pesticides uses of three crops. We confirm the previous results of the literature that farmers response …

Supply of Insurance for Specialty Crops and its Effect on Yield and Acreage
Olen, Beau; Wu, Junjie - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
We exploit variation in the timing of specialty crop insurance supply to different crops and counties in California to assess its effect on output as decomposed into yield and harvested acreage. Four woody-perennial crops and one field-annual crop are used to represent this effect. We find that...

Consumer preferences for apple quality traits
Carrillo-Rodriguez, Lilian; Gallardo, Karina; Yue, Chengyan - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
This study investigates the marginal values consumers place on apple quality traits as part of a larger SCRI project whose goal is to increase the long-term economic sustainability of Rosacea crops by increasing the U.S. per-capita consumption of fruits. Information on consumers’ preferences...

Futures Prices in Supply Analysis Reconsidered
Hendricks, Nathan P.; Janzen, Joseph P.; Smith, Aaron - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
Are futures prices exogenous to agricultural supply? It depends. We argue that crop yield shocks were predictable during the 1961-2007 period because high planting-time futures prices tended to indicate that yield would be below trend. This feature of the data implies that regressions of...

Commodity Prices and Volatility in Response to Anticipated Climate Change
Tran, A. Nam; Welch, Jarrod R.; Lobell, David; Roberts, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2012
Mounting evidence indicates climate change will adversely influence agricultural crop yields and cause greater year-to-year variability. This paper considers how a rational, forward-looking and competitive commodity market would account for these anticipated changes and thereby influence time...

An Empirical Comparison of Coffee Price Transmission in Vietnam and Colombia
Li, Xile; Saghaian, Sayed - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
This study applies an Error Correction Model to identify the market integration and price transmission between the grower price and the world price in Colombia and Vietnam, with an emphasis on the price long-run relationship and short-run adjustment across coffee varieties. The results show that...
