The Payment Vehicle Used in CV Studies of Environmental Goods Does Matter
Ivehammar, Pernilla - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 34 (2009) 3
This paper examines the effect of the payment vehicle on the valuation of an environmental good with the contingent … valuation method (CVM). Results from three CV studies comparing different payment vehicles by using split samples when valuing … payment vehicle effects. The results are consistent and show that the payment vehicle affects the valuation, but not always …

Site-Specific Simulation of Nutrient Control Policies: Integrating Economic and Water Quality Effects
Burkhart, Christopher S.; Jha, Manoj K. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 37 (2012) 1
A watershed-based modeling system is developed to assess alternative nutrient abatement policies, including fertilizer taxes, application caps, and uniform reductions. A microeconometric model of nutrient use is estimated using farm-level data, prices, and spatially detailed soil and land...

Fixed Effects Estimation of the Intensive and Extensive Margins of Irrigation Water Demand
Hendricks, Nathan P.; Peterson, Jeffrey M. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 37 (2012) 1
Irrigation water demand is estimated using field-level panel data from Kansas over 16 years. The cost of pumping varies over time due to changes in energy prices and across space due to differences in the depth to water. Exploiting this variation allows us to estimate the demand elasticity while...

Stated Choice Experiments with Complex Ecosystem Changes: The Effect of Information Formats on Estimated Variances and Choice Parameters
Hoehn, John P.; Lupi, Frank; Kaplowitz, Michael D. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 35 (2010) 3
Stated choice experiments about ecosystem changes involve complex information. This study examines whether the format in which ecosystem information is presented to respondents affects stated choice outcomes. Our analysis develops a utility-maximizing model to describe respondent behavior. The...

Price- and Policy-Induced Innovations: The Case of U.S. Biofuel
Jang, Heesun; Du, Xiaodong - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 38 (2013) 3
Using patent counts and citation data from 1977 to 2011, we explore the determining factors of innovative activities of the U.S. biofuel industry.We take into account both demand-side factors— such as crude-oil price, government R&D expenditure on biofuel, and federal-level support...

EMERGING AGRICULTURAL WATER CONSERVATION PRICE INCENTIVES
Michelsen, Ari M.; Taylor, R. Garth; Huffaker, Ray G.; … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 24 (1999) 01
Recent Bureau of Reclamation policies encourage or require irrigation districts to adopt price conservation incentives. Using unpublished survey results and new district-level information, we examine the rate structures and incentives of district water pricing. Our findings reveal that the...

Agricultural Subsidies and Forest Pressure in Malawi's Miombo Woodlands
Fisher, Monica G.; Shively, Gerald E. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 32 (2007) 02
This paper examines impacts of an agricultural subsidy program on forest pressure in Malawi. Using household survey data, we measure the effect on forest product marketing and on forest clearing of Malawi's Starter Pack Scheme (SPS). Regression results show households receiving a free packet of...
