The NFIP has been a subject of tremendous interest since 2005 when it was flooded with claims from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and was eventually drowned in debt. This paper focuses on the state of Georgia that has been neglected in terms of enforcing NFIP policies. We estimate a fixed effect...

Green space is an important part of environment around houses. Generally, most research focused on the economic impacts of green space on urban planning and environmental pollution cost, but ignored the impact on single family home values. Limited research was conducted in this area and few...

Market channel alternatives that include garden centers, landscapers, mass merchandisers and re-wholesalers have contributed to the growth of ornamental crops sales in the United States (U. S.). The homogenous subpopulation of the U.S. nursery producer was clustered using mixture of export...

This study estimates the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass relative to wheat in Oklahoma. The breakeven price of switchgrass is determined for two situations: when external consequences are ignored and when the environment costs of changes in soil erosion, fertilizer (nitrogen and...

Choice of payment vehicle (PV) is important to contingent-valuation practitioners. They are often left using scenarios that may elicit bias responses; for example hypothetical gate fees in open access areas. Utility bills may avoid bias, but introduce a scaling problem. A survey of north-Florida...

Feedlot dust control is an important issue in the Texas High Plains. Water application, with either a solid-set or a water truck sprinkler system, is the most common method of dust control. An analysis conducted suggests the economically optimal system depends on length of ownership, inflation,...

Switchgrass (panicum virgatum L.), a viable option for second-generation renewable fuels, has an extended harvest window with optimal harvest affected by yield, storage losses and nutrient uptake. This research shows that optimal harvest occurs later than maximum yield for Haskell, OK and...

This paper reviews water quality investments that can increase the environment’s capacity to remove nutrients. The nutrient removal effectiveness, uncertainty, and cost of removing nutrients directly from ambient waters is compared to agricultural nonpoint source reductions in the context of...

This paper uses experimental methods to examine how individuals react to a set of voluntary incentives related to the conservation of a resource. The goal was to determine whether conservation over a critical area, such as a deep portion of an aquifer, could be encouraged, and whether...
