Abstract Empirical results demonstrate that uncertainty about costs and requirements for environmental compliance is an important determinant of dairy producers… investment behavior. Ex ante forecasting how irreversibility are likely to affect responsiveness agricultural technologies has implications the design policies. Simulation modeling methods described. The empirical analysis focuses on Texas propensity adopt free‐stall housing. Free‐stall investments offer advantages both...
A theoretical model of farmland valuation is developed to explicitly account for three effects urban sprawl: conversion uses, effect on agricultural returns, and speculative as represented by risk. This estimated using county‐level data in the continental United States. Evidence found all sprawl values. Counties more accessible major centers have higher net returns. Subsidiary evidence supports that latter may be attributed survival (or to) high‐valued agriculture around centers.
Abstract Randomness in crop yields can be decomposed into two broad modeling focuses: the estimation of mean or central tendency distribution and dispersion around that tendency. We propose with a stochastic trend model allowing for nonnonnality within through an inverse hyperbolic sine distribution. Results are consistent this construction. First, residuals found to non normal. Second, modification corrects both skewness kurtosis corn yields.
Background Since the novel coronavirus emerged in late 2019, scientific and public health community around world have sought to better understand, surveil, treat, prevent disease, COVID-19. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), many countries responded aggressively decisively with lockdown measures border closures. Such actions may helped large outbreaks throughout much of region, though there is substantial variation caseloads mortality between nations. Additionally, system infrastructure remains a...
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has led to a global pandemic. United States been severely affected, accounting for most COVID-19 cases and deaths worldwide. Without coordinated national public health plan informed by surveillance with actionable metrics, ineffective at preventing mitigating escalating Existing incomplete ascertainment is limited use standard metrics. Although many data sources track infection rates, informing prevention requires capturing...
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted Europe, resulting in a high caseload and deaths that varied by country. second wave of the breached borders Europe. Public health surveillance is necessary to inform policy guide leaders.This study aimed provide advanced metrics for transmission account weekly shifts pandemic, speed, acceleration, jerk, persistence, better understand countries at risk explosive growth those are managing effectively.We performed longitudinal trend analysis extracted...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound global impact on governments, health care systems, economies, and populations around the world. Within East Asia Pacific region, some countries have mitigated spread of novel coronavirus effectively largely avoided severe negative consequences, while others still struggle with containment. As second wave reaches Pacific, it becomes more evident that additional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance is needed to track recent shifts, rates increase,...
Abstract The degree to which the use of debt is increased in response risk‐reducing and income‐augmenting farm policies studied theoretically. A mean‐variance model used determine optimal leverage adjustment, then effects on cumulative probability earning very low rates return equity are examined. evidence suggests that induce a large enough increase financial farmers having negative returns equity.
Background The Great COVID-19 Shutdown aimed to eliminate or slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19. United States has no national policy, leaving states independently implement public health guidelines are predicated on a sustained decline in cases. Operationalization “sustained decline” varies by state and county. Existing models transmission rely parameters such as case estimates R0 dependent intensive data collection efforts. Static statistical do not capture all...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of millions and forced countries to devise public health policies reduce pace transmission. In Middle East North Africa (MENA), falling oil prices, disparities in wealth infrastructure, large refugee populations have significantly increased disease burden COVID-19. light these exacerbating factors, surveillance is particularly necessary help leaders understand implement effective control SARS-CoV-2 persistence Objective goal this study...
Background SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused global COVID-19 pandemic, has severely impacted Central Asia; in spring 2020, high numbers of cases and deaths were reported this region. The second wave pandemic is currently breaching borders Asia. Public health surveillance necessary to inform policy guide leaders; however, existing explains past transmissions while obscuring shifts increases infection rates, persistence transmission COVID-19. Objective goal study provide enhanced metrics for...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound and differential impacts on metropolitan areas across the United States around world. Within States, that were hit earliest with reacted scientifically based health policy able to contain virus by late spring. For other kept businesses open, first wave in mid-summer. As weather turns colder, universities resume classes, people tire of lockdowns, a second is ascending both rural areas. It becomes more obvious additional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance...
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented stress on economies, food systems, and health care resources in Latin America the Caribbean (LAC). Existing surveillance provides a proxy of caseload mortalities; however, these measures make it difficult to identify dynamics places where outbreaks are likely occur. Moreover, existing techniques have failed measure pandemic.This study aimed provide additional metrics for transmission track changes speed, acceleration, jerk, persistence more...
Purpose While the average cost of debt capital can be calculated from historical financial statement data by dividing interest paid each year total level debt, this provides little information regarding true acquiring additional capital, and hence, its use is potentially problematic in decision-making. This study focuses on linkage between observed changes rates statements (balance sheet income statement) marginal borrowing or new debt. Motivated asset pricing model (CAPM), modeled as a...
Abstract Weather in the Corn Belt and northern plains elimination of traditional commodity programs have refocused attention on farmland valuation. This study uses a statistical formulation information provided by individual regressors to examine sensitivity values changes inflation, returns agricultural assets, cost capital. The results indicate that inflation provides most values; however, regional regions tend be more sensitive return assets also rely heavily government payments.
The sharp rise in energy prices the 1980s triggered a strong interest production of ethanol as an additional component. Economists are divided to payoffs from derived corn part because complex interrelationship between produced and fossil fuels. Using welfare economic framework, we calculate that there can be treasury savings using tax credits these subsidies smaller than direct payments farmers which essentially eliminated expansion ethanol. Also, extent dampens fuel net gain presence subsidies.
Abstract This article examines how corn prices affect the demand for feed grains and supply of livestock outputs. The differential approach to theory multiproduct firm is employed examine ex ante decisions about grain supply. estimation results suggest that producers have little flexibility in adjusting response an increase prices. substitutable relationship between distillers’ contributes alleviating pressures on costs high In addition, highlight composition can be altered by changes On...
Background Public mass shootings are a significant public health problem that require ongoing systematic surveillance to test and inform policies combat gun injuries. Although there is widespread agreement something needs be done stop shootings, opinions on exactly which entails vary, such as the prohibition of assault weapons large-capacity magazines. Objective The aim this study was determine if Federal Assault Weapons Ban (FAWB) (1994-2004) reduced number while it in place. Methods We...
