: we estimate large price elasticities of demand for electricity (-1.17) and groundwater (-1.12). We demonstrate that crop …Groundwater is a key resource for agricultural production globally. Increasingly rapid aquifer drawdowns--as well as … consequences. This paper provides the first large-scale empirical estimates of how farmers respond to changes in groundwater costs …

Technical efficiency (TE) is an important measure of farm performance. This study measured the TE of wheat farms across six states in the U.S. Western Great Plains based on production and farm management-specific variables. Significant factors positively influencing efficiency were insecticide...

This paper estimates the aggregate productivity effects of Marshallian externalities generated by foreign direct investments (FDI) in the US. In contrast to earlier work, this paper puts special emphasis on controlling for Marshallian externalities and other intra- and inter-regional spillovers...

The equilibrium conditions for an economic system that produces output with several factors of production and which is subject to technological constraints are derived. Optimization of either output minus cost or integrated utility yields the conditions that output elasticities must be equal to...
