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 …

DYNAMICS OF POLISH WHEAT PRICES IN COMPARISON TO SELECTED WORLD PRICES IN A PERIOD OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION

Figiel, Szczepan - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1998

Poland's market reforms implemented in 1990 should possibly result in increasing price linkages between Polish and internationally traded agricultural commodities like wheat. Using regression and cointegration analysis Polish monthly wheat prices were found to be generally unrelated to selected...

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...

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...
