This study explores two important issues in experimental economics: calibration and auction institution. Consumer willingness-to-pay bids for corn chips made with non-genetically modified ingredients are elicited from a 1st price and 2nd price auction. Results suggest that responses to scale...

This study explores two important issues in experimental economics: calibration and auction institution. Consumer willingness-to-pay bids for corn chips made with non-genetically modified ingredients are elicited in first- and second-price auctions. Results suggest that responses to...

Over 1,800 agricultural economics graduate students at 41 Ph.D. and master's degree granting institutions in the United States were surveyed to determine their demographic characteristics, academic motivations, financial assistance, scholastic output, and professional activities. Responses were...

The traditional land-grant university mission is to provide instruction in agriculture and related fields. The universities developed to fulfill that mission were created in the late 1800s in an era of relatively small-scaled, homogenous farming operations. Today, land-grant universities are...

We use data from an Internet and traditional print mail survey to determine student demand for graduate program attributes. Results reveal that students value graduate program ranking more than stipend level, geographic location, or office/computer facilities. Higher ranked programs, as a whole,...

The objective is to estimate consumer willingness-to-pay (WTP) for pork chops produced under an integrated program which is designed to reduce the incidence of Salmonella. A double-bounded model is estimated to determine Kansas and Indiana consumers WTP for these pork chops. The median WTP is...
