Irrigation Demand in a Changing Climate: Using disaggregate data to predict future groundwater use
Shaneyfelt, Calvin R.; Schoengold, Dr. Karina - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
The paper estimates an irrigation water demand function using disaggregate climate and well data over a 32 year time period. Aggregating climate information over long periods, like a year, loses important details on temporal climatic variation, while aggregating climate information over space...

Don’t Farm So Close to Me: Testing Whether Spatial Externalities Contributed to the Emergence of Glyphosate-Resistant Weed Populations
Wood, Dallas - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
The emergence of glyphosate-resistant weed populations threatens the economic viability of genetically modified, glyphosate-resistant crop varieties. This could not only have serious consequences for the welfare of U.S. farmers, but also for environmental quality as farmers turn to more toxic...

Dynamic-Bayesian disease management under state uncertainty: learning and bovine tuberculosis control in New Zealand cattle
MacLachlan, Matthew; Springborn, Michael - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
In the context of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) control in New Zealand cattle, we address the problem of management under uncertain disease prevalence by integrating a model of disease transmission and Bayesian learning from testing. We show the implications of accounting for the full dynamic value...

Will Consumers Pay a Premium for “Raised Carbon Friendly” Beef? Evidence from a Contingent Valuation Experiment
Li, Xiaogu; Jensen, Kimberly L.; Clark, Christopher D.; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
Cattle production contributes about 2.2% of US greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of prescribed grazing (PG) could reduce these emissions. Grass-fed beef products command price premiums; whether beef produced with PG programs would do likewise is not known. This research estimates consumer...
