DEFORESTATION AND ASSET ACCUMULATION AMONG SMALL SCALE FARMERS

Takasaki, Yoshito - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2000

This paper explores deforestation and asset accumulation among small scale farmers in tropical forests. In a two … accumulation options may or may not change the impacts of policy measures on deforestation, depending on labor market conditions … protection and asset accumulation-- only when an active labor market exits. …

The Trade-off Between Bioenergy and Emissions When Land Is Scarce

Kauffman, Nathan S.; Hayes, Dermot J. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

Agricultural biofuels require the use of scarce land, and this land has opportunity cost. We explore the objective function of a social planner who includes a land constraint in the optimization decision to minimize environmental cost. The results show that emissions should be measured on a per...

International Interlinkages of Biofuel Prices: The Role of Biofuel Policies

Rajcaniova, Miroslava; Drabik, Dusan; Ciaian, Pavel - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

Kliauga, de Gorter, and Just (2008) and de Gorter, Drabik, and Just (2010) argue that the United States and the European Union establish the world ethanol and biodiesel prices, respectively. We test these theories using a cointegration analysis and the Vector Error Correction (VEC) model. Weekly...

The Implications of Alternative Biofuel Policies on Carbon Leakage

Drabik, Dusan; de Gorter, Harry; Just, David R. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

We show how leakage differs, depending on the biofuel policy and market conditions. Carbon leakage is shown to have two components: a market leakage effect and an emissions savings effect. We also distinguish domestic and international leakage and show how omitting the former like the IPCC does...

Using Cellulosic Ethanol to ‘Go Green’: What Price for Carbon?

Miranowski, John A.; Rosburg, Alicia - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

The revised Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) mandates that cellulosic biofuels be part of the liquid transportation fuel mix and contribute to reducing our carbon footprint. Unfortunately, since no commercial cellulosic biorefinery exists and cellulosic biomass production is typically smaller...

Long-term Effects of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard on World Hunger

Bryant, Henry L.; Lu, Jiamin; Richardson, James W.; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

We employ a multi-region computable general equilibrium model of the world economy to estimate changes in worldwide food insecurity that result from the imposition of the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard.

The Effects of Changing Commodity Prices On the CRP

Hellerstein, Daniel; Malcolm, Scott A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

How might increases in commodity prices, along with the acreage reduction mandated in the 2008 Farm Act, impact the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)? Modeling Strategy The Likely To Bid (LTB) model “restarts” the CRP from scratch. Uses National Resources Inventory data to find parcels...

Mitigating Land Use Changes From Biofuel Expansion: An Assessment of Biofuel Feedstock Yield Potential in APEC Economies

Elobeid, Amani E.; Tokgoz, Simla; Yu, Tun-Hsiang - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2009

The emerging biofuel sector has drawn great interest as an alternative source of fuel for transportation. The expansion of biofuels greatly impacts world agricultural markets, since currently, the primary feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel production are field crops and their derived products....

Global Implications of U.S. Biofuels Policies in an Integrated Partial and General Equilibrium Framework

Birur, Dileep K.; Beach, Robert H.; Hertel, Thomas W.; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

With the increasing research interests in biofuels, global implications of biofuels production have been generally examined either in a partial equilibrium (PE) or general equilibrium (GE) frameworks. Though both of these approaches have unique strengths, they also suffer from many limitations...
