The Response of Corn Acreage to Ethanol Plant Siting

Fatal, Yehushua S.; Thurman, Walter N. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 46 (2014) 02

U.S. ethanol production capacity increased more than threefold between 2002 and 2008. We study the effect of this growth on corn acreage. Connecting annual changes in county-level corn acreage to changes in ethanol plant capacities, we find a positive effect on planted corn. The building of a...

Modelling small-area inequality in premature mortality using years of life lost rates

Congdon, Peter - In: Journal of Geographical Systems 15 (2013) 2, pp. 149-167

Analysis of premature mortality variations via standardized expected years of life lost (SEYLL) measures raises questions about suitable modelling for mortality data, especially when developing SEYLL profiles for areas with small populations. Existing fixed effects estimation methods take no...

Land cover change using an energy transition paradigm in a statistical mechanics approach

Zachary, Daniel S. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 20, pp. 5065-5073

This paper explores a statistical mechanics approach as a means to better understand specific land cover changes on a continental scale. Integrated assessment models are used to calculate the impact of anthropogenic emissions via the coupling of technoeconomic and earth/atmospheric system models...
