Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Farm Production and Profitability: Dynamic Simulation Approach
Cai, Ruohong; Bergstrom, John C.; Mullen, Jeffrey D.; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
In this paper, a dynamic optimization model was developed to simulate how farm-level realized price and profitability respond to yield change which was induced by climate change. Producers' acreage response was included in the dynamic model considering crop rotation effect. In the crop rotation...

Industry-Science Connections in Agriculture: Do public science collaborations and knowledge flows contribute to firm-level agricultural research productivity?
Toole, Andrew A.; King, John L. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
Prior research identifies a direct positive link between the stock of public scientific knowledge and agricultural productivity; however, an indirect contribution to agricultural productivity is also possible when this stock facilitates private sector invention. This study examines how...
