Land Use and Greenhouse Gas Implications of Biofuels: Role of Technology and Policy
Chen, Xiaoguang; Huang, Haixiao; Khanna, Madhu - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
This paper examines the extensive and intensive margin changes in land use in the U.S. likely to be induced by biofuel policies and the implications of these policies for GHG emissions over the 2007-2022 period. The policies considered here include the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) by itself as...

Land Use Consequences of Crop Insurance Subsidies
Miao, Ruiqing; Feng, Hongli; Hennessy, David A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
There have long been concerns that federal crop insurance subsidies may significantly impact land use decisions. It is well known that classical insurance market information asymmetry problems can lead to a social excess of risky land entering crop production. Our conceptual model shows that the...

An Iterative Auction for Spatially Contiguous Land Management: An Experimental Analysis
Banerjee, Simanti; Shortle, James S.; Kwasnica, Anthony M. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
Tackling the problem of ecosystem services degradation is an important policy challenge. Different types of economic instruments have been employed by conservation agencies to meet this challenge. Notable among them are Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes that pay private landowners to...

Are there Carbon Savings from US Biofuel Policies? Accounting for Leakage in Land and Fuel Markets
Bento, Antonio M.; Klotz, Richard; Landry, Joel R. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
This paper applies the insights of the carbon leakage literature to study the emissions consequences of biofuel policies. We develop a simple analytic framework to decompose the intended emissions impacts of biofuel policy from four sources of carbon leakage: domestic fuel markets, domestic land...

Producer Preference for Land-Based Biological Carbon Sequestration in Agriculture: An Economic Inquiry
Jiang, Yong; Koo, Won W. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
This study was intended to develop an understanding of producer preference for land-based carbon sequestration in agriculture. We conducted a mail survey to elicit producer choice to provide marketable carbon offsets by participating in different carbon credit programs characterized by varying...

Sustainability of Corn Stover Harvest for Biomass
Sesmero, Juan P. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
Off-farm demand for crop residues is expected to grow as bioenergy policies become effective. Demand for residues will provide farmers with an additional source of revenue but it may also trigger losses in soil organic carbon and increases in fertilizer application. This study develops a dynamic...
