This paper investigates the response of beef cattle producers to changes in the price of cattle. Previous research has suggested that there may be a negative short-run supply response to a permanent increase in the price of cattle. We build a dynamic, rational expectations model that predicts...

Nonlinear master equations in the case of one kind of particle are discussed from the point of view of solving a martingale problem. We get some conditions from which the existence, uniqueness and ergodicity of solutions follow. These results are then used to discuss the phenomenon of phase...

We investigate the impacts of the U.S. renewable fuel standard (RFS2) and several alternative biofuel policy designs on global GHG emissions from land use change and agriculture over the 2010–2030 horizon. Analysis of the scenarios relies on GLOBIOM, a global, multi-sectoral economic model...

While internationally, large-scale forestry projects have gained in importance for climate change mitigation, the implementation of such projects, particularly in regions with smallholder forestry like Southeast and East Asia, faces various obstacles. The organization of smallholders is one...

This paper investigates the relationship between parents¡¯ education and children¡¯s wage using two nationally representative data sets in China. Controlling for other things, both father¡¯s and mother¡¯s education are positively correlated with children¡¯s wage. Nevertheless, returns...

While there is considerable interest in understanding the climate-migration relationship, particularly in the context of concerns about global climatic change, little is known about underlying mechanisms. We analyze a unique and extensive set of panel data characterizing annual bilateral...
