Cocoa beans are produced in equatorial and sub-equatorial regions of West Africa, Southeast Asia and South America. These are also the regions most affected by El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) -- a climatic anomaly affecting temperature and precipitation in many parts of the world. Thus,...

To value water quality improvements in the Chesapeake Bay or elsewhere, it is necessary to choose an appropriate model of consumer behavior. A number of different travel cost based recreation demand models have beenemployed to value changes in water quality or beach access. Among the possible...

This article summarizes the conceptual development and empirical implementation of the travel cost recreation demand model by (J) describing its theoretical underpinnings, (2) outlining how theory must be adapted for the needs imposed by available data. (3) explaining issues to be considered in...

In this research we estimate the effect of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over time on market dynamics for eight major vegetable oil prices. We estimate a system for vegetable oil prices by using a smooth transition vector error correction model (STVECM) to analyze impacts of ENSO events on...

Using a bio-economic model, H2OBeef, that includes traditionally considered parameters associated with running a beef feedlot but also incorporates aspects associated with water, changes that can alter water consumption and or price are examined. The results indicate that when water does not...
