Significance Ecosystems store vast quantities of wealth, but difficulties measuring wealth held in ecosystems prevent its inclusion accounting systems. Ecosystem-based management endeavors to manage holistically. However, ecosystem-based lacks headline indicators evaluate performance. We unify the inclusive and paradigms, allowing apples-to-apples comparisons between ecosystem other forms while providing a performance index for evaluating management. project that Baltic Sea fishery yields...

ABSTRACT A model of post‐disaster migration responses and income consequences poses that damage severity individual resilience affect moving decisions. Forced moves are linked to little relative incurred post‐move reductions. The empirical analysis analyzes households affected by hurricanes Katrina Rita. Using American Community Survey data, unobserved heterogeneous damages framed as treatment, with the decision being treatment decision. An endogenous switching regression addresses...

Abstract We determine how monthly precipitation and temperature before during planting impacts US corn soybean prevented acres using county‐level data from 1996 to 2019. Corn were responsive temperature. Precipitation January through May impacted acres, but in June acres. Additionally, higher average April decreased find the cooler wetter months will increase Results provide insight into weather can impact indemnities.

Nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most important inputs to corn production and farmers manage their crop by deciding how much apply, when apply it maximize yields resulting profit. There risk inherent in fertility management because once nitrogen applied soil no longer immobile cropland subject loss this costly input under different weather conditions. Days suitable for field work, a farm's machinery set, conditions determine preparation planting activities are completed each year. This...

Agro-climatic data by county (ACDC) is designed to provide the major agro-climatic variables from publicly available spatial sources diverse end-users. ACDC provides USDA NASS annual (1981–2015) crop yields for corn, soybeans, upland cotton and winter wheat county. Customizable growing degree days 1 °C intervals between −60 +60 °C, total precipitation two different seasons PRISM weather are included. Soil characteristic USDA-NRCS gSSURGO also provided each in 48 contiguous US states. All...

The FORTIFIED Home Program is a voluntary construction and re-roofing program designed to strengthen residential properties withstand damages from severe weather events. designation framework can accommodate sustainable new home existing property retrofitting efforts. Applying two-state utility Zillow's ZTRAX IBHS's data, we estimate the effect of on values using sales transactions for coastal Alabama 2011 2021. We add growing body literature examining relationship between eco-friendly...

Abstract Conservation tillage has been widely recommended for implementation in the U.S. its environmental benefits. The effect of conservation on crop yield is a subject continued concern amongst farmers who have not adopted practice. Previous empirical research performance largely limited to field trials, while observational studies remain scant. This article estimates effects county average corn and soybean yields using remotely-sensed practice adoption data 646 counties across 12 Corn...

도시민의 도시녹지 생태서비스에 대한 수요가 늘어남에 따라 이들에 접근성이나 경관에 가치 추정 또한 꾸준히 이어지고 있다. 본 연구는 서울의 이질적 자연 환경 즉, 한강, 일반산림, 북한산에 가치를 추정하기 위하여 대표적 주거 형태인 아파트에 실거래가격을 취득하여 주택특성가격분석을 시행하였다. 과정에서 집합건물의 특성상 동일한 위치 정보와 주택특성을 가진 다수의 거래자료로 인하여 거래가격에는 공간종속성, 설명변수에는 위계적 구조가 발생하였다. 이의 해결을 위해 공간시차 변수 추가, 동일 주택 특성별 데이터 그룹화, 위계선형모형의 적용이 고려되었고, 그룹화 거래자료에 2수준 임의절편 선형모형을 적용할 때 주택특성가격모형 오차항의 공간종속성이 통계적으로 존재하지 않는 수준으로 감소함을 확인하였다. 따라서 집합주택 거래자료를 이용한 주택특성가격 모형의 추정에서 대용량 거래건수로 인해 공간계량모형의 불가할 경우 대안적으로 고려할 가치가 있는 것으로 보인다. 추정결과를 살펴보면 북한산...

This study sheds light on possible spatial aggregation bias and mismeasurement in natural disaster impacts economic growth when adopting the synthetic control method. Using impacted US areas of Hurricane Katrina 2005 as a case study, we compared trends real GRDP per capita, population, at New Orleans-Metairie metropolitan statistical area Louisiana State, 1992–2017. empirically demonstrates that improper units analysis could distort causal inference Additionally, capita indicators recovery...

Days suitable for field work (DSFW) is an important piece of data production agriculture and agricultural extension focused on practical decision making about investment in farm machinery cropping systems management. It is, however, noteworthy that there has been limited attention paid to DSFW. To fill this gap, study tries answer two research questions: (1) what the trend DSFW during planting harvest period from 1980-2010? (2) accuracy a predictive econometric model based agro-environmental...

Abstract This study scrutinizes spatial econometric models and specifications of crop yield response functions to provide a robust evaluation empirical alternatives available researchers. We specify 14 competing panel regression weather site characteristics. Using county corn yields in the US, this implements in-sample, out-of-sample, bootstrapped out-of-sample prediction performance comparisons. Descriptive propositions results demonstrate importance correlation empirically support fixed...

Due to the rapidly growing availability and accessibility of spatially gridded weather data products, significant effort has been devoted handling climate variables properly in econometric models. It is, however, noteworthy that relatively less attention is paid how spatial correlation models can be specified performed. To fill this gap, study scrutinizes main source variables, implements in-sample out-of-sample prediction analyses with panel model specifications crop yield response...

This study develops and solves a stochastic, multi-year, discrete space-time model that allows the comparative analysis between non-spatial spatially explicit models. The solution to this implies Stochastic Space-Time Natural Enemy-adjusted Economic Threshold (SST-NEET) guide choice of optimal level pest warrants management intervention. Using numerical simulation experiments over generated synthetic geography, we derive three major conclusions. First, unified framework for control...

This paper merges inclusive wealth accounting theory with ecosystem based management (EBM) to resolve two problems. First, we provide measures of an ecosystem’s contribution larger scale sustainability accounts by enabling ecosystems be better included in measures. We show the are thought as portfolios assets, and portfolio’s performance is depended on underlying including their interactions. Second, held attractive headline index for EBM regardless whether ultimately a broader index....

Grass conservation plantings (CP) are regularly installed as filter strips to supply water quality benefits and provide wildlife habitat, but these CPs also other agroecosystem services, including pest control which may reduce the need for insecticide spraying. This research extends previous work (Zhang Swinton, 2009), by developing a multi-year space-time optimization problem dynamic bioeconomic model. The suggested model is applied of controlling Soybean Aphids in Newton County, Indiana....
