Integrative Investment Appraisal of a Lignocellulosic Biomass-to-Ethanol Industry
Tembo, Gelson; Epplin, Francis M.; Huhnke, Raymond L. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 28 (2003) 03
While theoretically more efficient than starch-based ethanol production systems, conversion of lignocellulosic biomass … to ethanol is not without major challenges. A multi-region, multi-period, mixed integer mathematical programming model … encompassing alternative feedstocks, feedstock production, delivery, and processing is developed. The model is used to identify key …

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...

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 Using unpublished survey results and new district-level information, we examine the rate structures and incentives of district water pricing.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...
