The Implications of Skewed Risk Perception for a Dutch Coastal Land Market: Insights from an Agent-Based Computational Economics Model AgEcon
Filatova, Tatiana; Parker, Dawn Cassandra; van der Veen, Anne.
Dutch coastal land markets are characterized by high amenity values but are threatened by potential coastal hazards, leading to high potential damage costs from flooding. Yet, Dutch residents generally perceive low or no flood risk. Using an agent-based land market model and Dutch survey data on risk perceptions and location preferences, this paper explores the patterns of land development and land rents produced by buyers with low, highly skewed risk perceptions. We find that, compared to representative agent and uniform risk perception models, the skewed risk perception distribution produces substantially more, high-valued development in risky coastal zones, potentially creating economically significant risks triggered by the current Dutch flood...

Does Pig Density Matter for the Choice of Control Strategies in Classical Swine Fever Epidemic? AgEcon
Magen, M.-J.J.; Burrell, Alison M.; Nielen, Michel W.F..
This paper examines the importance of pig population density in the area of an outbreak of CSF for the spread of the disease and the choice of control measures. A sector-level market and trade model and a spatial, stochastic, dynamic epidemiological simulation model for the Netherlands were used. Outbreaks in sparsely and densely populated areas were compared under four different control strategies and with two alternative trade assumptions. Results indicate that the control strategy required by current EU legislation is enough to eradicate an epidemic starting in an area with sparse pig population. By contrast, additional control measures are necessary if the outbreak begins in an area with high pig population density. The economic consequences of...

Farm Structure and the Effects of Agri-Environmental Programs: Results from a Matching Analysis for European Countries AgEcon
Pufahl, Andrea; Weiss, Christoph R..
This paper extends previous research (Pufahl and Weiss, 2009) and applies a semi-parametric propensity score matching approach to evaluate the effects of agrienvironment (AE) programs on input use and farm output of individual farms in eight Member States of the European Union. We find substantial differences in treatment effects between countries. The analysis reveals significant effects of AE participation on production (Germany, France) and farm profits (France, Ireland, United Kingdom). AE participation sporadically reduces the intensity of land use as measured by the purchase of farm chemicals (fertilizer, pesticide) and grazing livestock densities. We also find differences in the treatment effect among farms with different farm size (heterogeneous...

Do Farmers Internalise External Impacts of Pesticides in Production? AgEcon
Skevas, Theodoros; Stefanou, Spiro E.; Oude Lansink, Alfons G.J.M..
In modern agriculture, pesticides feature so prominently in growers’ arsenal to reduce crop damage caused by various pests and diseases. But their indiscriminate use can harm human health and the environment and, eventually, impact agricultural productivity negatively. In an era of an increasing public awareness on the external effects of pesticides, the EU is trying to update its pesticide policy by establishing tax and levy schemes. An important question is whether the external impacts of pesticides are also affecting the farmers’ production environment. A damage abatement specification is used consisting of a potential output function and a damage abatement function. The damage abatement function considers both high and low toxicity pesticides, and...

Measurement Method for Urine Puddle Depth in Dairy Cow Houses as Input Variable for Ammonia Emission Modelling CIGR Journal
Dennis J.W. Snoek.
Dairy cow houses are a major contributor to ammonia (NH3) emission in many European countries. To understand and predict NH3 emissions from cubicle dairy cow houses a mechanistic model was developed and a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the contribution to NH3 emission of each input variable related to a single urine puddle. Results showed that NH3 emission was most sensitive for five puddle related input variables: pH, depth, initial urea concentration, area and temperature. Unfortunately, cow house data of these variables are scarce due to a lack of proper measurement methods. In this study we focused on a method to assess the urine puddle depth, which can vary between 0.10 mm and 2.00 mm. Our objective was to develop a measurement method...

Consumer driven supply chains: the case of Dutch organic tomato CIGR Journal
Anastasiadis, Foivos; van Dam, Ynte.
Supply chain management refers to the efficient integration of various processes involved in turning resources into consumer products.  Effectiveness of the supply chain is more easily understood in terms of Value Chain Management, and the integration of processes that turn resources into consumer value.  The current paper reports two studies into the value chain of organic produce in The Netherlands.  The paper combines two different research approaches to study which consumer motives and values are the main drivers of organic consumption.  In a qualitative laddering (N=72) study, three distinct groups of motives were identified.  These motives are centred around hedonic, benevolent, and universalist values.  In a quantitative survey (N=1453), the...
