| The growth of Minnesota's agricultural sector, 1880-1970, was quite considerable. More important than providing a history, this study provides the necessary background for examination of the agricultural research system of Minnesota. Here, the record will be detailed. This study examines, in turn, the record of: output and production; the factors of production; relative output and input prices changes; and the structural changes in the sector |

| This paper addresses the growing concerns of local governments and residents about the high costs of urban spillover into adjoining rural areas. From a rural agricultural perspective we focus on the loss of productive agricultural land and open space. From a metropolitan core city perspective the focus shifts to the erosion of the city tax base and its fiscal capacity to pay for the associated high costs of neighborhood decline. From a personal and private perspective, however, urban growth creates new opportunities for residential and commercial development. Many sectors of the local economy share in these opportunities, including young families seeking their first single-family residence at a price they can afford. Given the multiplicity of... |

| Throughout the developed world, the share of agriculture in total income of the rural population is declining. This is due to push and pull factors. On one hand, terms of trade of agriculture are falling and farmers are forced to seek additional income sources. On the other hand, population expansion in rural areas, including an important component of urban-to-rural migration, creates attractive opportunities for alternative income-generating activities. The question is whether agriculture is good or bad for rural well-being. Are communities with more agriculture composed of stronger farms that enhance economic well-being, or perhaps more agriculture means lack of alternatives, in which case the outcome is the opposite? The answer has important... |

| The main objective of this paper is to develop a general framework for rural development in which marketing will play a major role. This framework could make the "learning by doing" process more efficient and effective. Specific goals of this paper are to provide the reader with: (1) a better overall understanding of the rural development and marketing development process, (2) an analysis of approaches used by rural development projects in their effort to improve rural marketing, and (3) a systematic approach to rural marketing development. The focus will be on the semi-subsistence and subsistence farmers, who provide a major share of total production and marketed surplus in most developing countries. The importance of the development of the... |

| This paper demonstrates a method whereby the national multiplier effects of a given regional industry (or group of industries) can be calculated. The method obviates the need to assume that national input-output coefficients will be duplicated in each regional case, and further does not necessitate the estimation of a complete regional input-output model. An example, utilizing some data originally collected for a regional input-output model of Central Queensland, is included. |

| An industry cluster is a geographically bounded collection of similar and/or related firms that together create competitive advantages for member firms and the local economy. The targeting of economic development programs at industry clusters provides three principal advantages: multiplier effects are stronger, employment growth potential is enhanced, and new firm spin-offs are promoted. The Clemson University Regional Economic Development Research Laboratory (REDRL) targeting method uses a screening process to identify local industry clusters with high potential for future growth. The region’s industries must pass five screens to be selected as a targeted cluster: substantial local presence as indicated by number of establishments and employees, industry... |

| This research project on the valuation of cultural heritage is developing a methodology for a quantitative valuation study of the use and non-use values of historic heritage places. The methodology developed in this project will provide a template for subsequent empirical applications to generate data of use in the formulation of heritage policies and programs. The initial stages in reaching this larger objective have involved determining how historic heritage places are to be categorised for measurement, establishing the process by which heritage attributes will be determined for valuation, and developing and trialling an effective measurement framework. The principal techniques being developed for valuation assessment in the project are derived from... |
