Water is one of our world's most essential natural resources, but it also a resource that becoming increasingly scarce. The agricultural use groundwater particularly important to manage sustainably and well. However, popular well-intentioned water conservation management policies, including those encourage the adoption more efficient irrigation technology, may have unintended possibly perverse consequences if policy-makers do not account for users' behavioral responses their policies. In...
The effects of increasing income on environmental quality is an issue that has long puzzled economists.For over a decade, economists have theorized graph degradation versus often looks something approximating inverted-U shape, dubbed the Kuznets curve (EKC) after Simon Kuznets' work in 1950s and 1960s equality (Kuznets 1955(Kuznets , 1965)).Among reasons why found so intriguing answers to this question would help resolve fundamental issues concerning humanity's ability develop economically,...
The long‐term trend of background O 3 in surface air over the United States from 1980 to 1998 is examined using monthly probability distributions daily maximum 8‐hour average concentrations at a large ensemble rural sites. Ozone have decreased high end distribution (reflecting emission controls) but increased low end. cross‐over takes place between 30th and 50th percentiles May–August 60th 90th during rest year. increase statistically significant 5% level spring fall, when it 3–5 ppbv....
We examine the effects of energy prices on groundwater extraction using an econometric model a farmer's irrigation water pumping decision that accounts for both intensive and extensive margins. Our results show have effect types Increasing would affect crop selection decisions, acreage allocation farmers' demand water. estimated total marginal effect, which sums margins, suggests $1 per million btu increase in price decrease by individual farmer 5.89 acre‐feet year, 3.6 percent average...
The degradation of product quality is one form rent dissipation resulting from incomplete property rights in fisheries. Industry structure and information asymmetries can also lead to underinvestment quality, even when are well defined. In this article we empirically examine whether the voluntary formation a marketing cooperative was able mitigate market failures that led production inferior‐quality fish. Specifically, use difference‐in‐differences estimation strategy measure impact Copper...
Abstract The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates large increases in U.S. biofuel consumption and is implemented using tradable compliance credits known as RINs. In early 2013, RIN prices soared, causing the regulator to propose reducing future mandates. We estimate empirically effect of three “policy shocks” that reduced expected 2013. find largest these shocks decreased value fuel industry's 2013 obligation by $7 billion. then study effects on commodity markets market publicly‐traded firms....
The rapid proliferation of large language models (LLMs) in natural processing (NLP) has created a critical need for techniques that enable efficient deployment on memory-constrained devices without compromising performance. We present method to prune LLMs selectively prunes model blocks based an importance score and replaces them with low-parameter replacement strategy. Specifically, we propose principled metric replace each pruned block using weight-sharing mechanism leverages unpruned...
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable abilities in tackling a wide range of complex tasks. However, their huge computational and memory costs raise significant challenges deploying these models on resource-constrained devices or efficiently serving them. Prior approaches attempted to alleviate problems by permanently removing less important model structures, yet methods often result substantial performance degradation due the permanent deletion parameters. In this work,...
