Última Premium Estimation Inaccuracy and the Actuarial Performance of the US Crop Insurance Program AgEcon Ramirez, Octavio A.; Carpio, Carlos E.. This article explores the impact of the likely levels of inaccuracy associated with two main types of premium estimation methods, under different sample sizes, on the actuarial performance of the US crop insurance program. The analyses are conducted under several plausible assumptions about the insurer versus the producers’ estimates for their actuarially fair premiums. Significant differences are found due to estimation method and sample size, with the currently used procedures resulting in the worse actuarial performance. Several conclusions and recommendations are provided that could markedly reduce the amount of public subsidies needed to keep this program solvent.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/102463 The Economic Value of Basin Protection to Improve the Quality and Reliability of Potable Water Supply: Some Evidence from Ecuador AgEcon Zapata, Samuel D.; Benavides, Holger M.; Carpio, Carlos E.; Willis, David B.. This study estimates the willingness to pay (WTP) of Loja’s households to protect two micro-basins that supply over 40 percent of potable water to the city. Results indicate that households have an average WTP of $5.80 per month, which corresponds to a 25 percent increase in the self-reported monthly water bill, to preserve the basins.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/46773 Potential for Tradable Water Allocation and Rights in Jordan AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Ramirez, Octavio A.; Boonsaeng, Tullaya. This paper estimates the costs of buying water use rights from farmers located in the Mafraq-Azraq basin in Jordan. Farmers’ water supply curve is estimated using data gathered from a contingent valuation survey. Estimation results indicate that a total supply of 29 million m3 could be periodically purchased from farmers at an annual price of approximately JD 0.23/m3 (1 JD ≈ 0.70 U.S. dollars), or a total cost of about JD 6.8 million per year.

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61159 Relative Importance of Environmental Attributes Using Logistic Regression AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Sydorovych, Olha; Marra, Michele C.. We investigate the problem of determining the relative importance of attributes in the discrete choice setting. Four alternative methods of extracting the relative importance of attributes are considered. The empirical application involves the development of a risk index system for individual herbicides combining the information on the herbicides' different human and environmental risks. The values of the pesticide risk indices are found to be consistent across the different methods. Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Environmental Economics and Policy. Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/34846 Consumer Willingness to Pay for Locally Grown Products: The Case of South Carolina AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Isengildina-Massa, Olga. The objective of this study is to evaluate South Carolina (SC) consumers’ willingness to pay for “SC grown” products. Results indicate that consumers in SC are willing to pay an average premium of 27% for local produce and 23% for local animal products. Premiums for local products are influenced by age, gender, and income.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6815 Issues and Strategies for Aggregate Supply Response Estimation for Policy Analyses AgEcon Ramirez, Octavio A.; Mohanty, Samarendu; Carpio, Carlos E.; Denning, Megan. We demonstrate the use of the small-sample econometrics principles and strategies to come up with reliable yield and acreage models for policy analyses. We focus on demonstrating the importance of proper representation of systematic and random components of the model for improving forecasting precision along with more reliable confidence intervals for the forecasts. A probability distribution function modeling approach, which has been shown to provide more reliable confidence intervals for the dependent variable forecasts than the standard models that assume error term normality, is used to estimate cotton supply response in the Southeastern United States.

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/43420 The Effect of Label Information on Farmers’ Pesticide Choice AgEcon Hasing, Tomas; Carpio, Carlos E.; Willis, David B.; Sydorovych, Olha; Marra, Michele C.. The general objective of this study was to analyze the effect of labeling information on farmers’ herbicide choice. Herbicide choices made by farmers were used to estimate their willingness to pay for different herbicide attributes. Estimation results indicate that human health and environmental statements displayed on pesticide labels (which reflect higher level of risk) are important components in herbicide selection. For example, it is estimated that farmers are willing to pay, on average, $27 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Warning” and $38 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Danger.” Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Mixed logit; Household production models; Non-nested models.; Demand and Price Analysis; Environmental Economics and Policy. Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61131 Measuring the Potential Economic Impact of a Regional Agricultural Promotion Campaign: The Case of South Carolina AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Isengildina-Massa, Olga. This study evaluated the impact of the South Carolina (SC) agricultural promotion campaign after its first season. Analysis of the survey data revealed that consumer demand for state grown produce has increased by 3.4% which could result in an increase in producer surplus of $2.9 million. Since the SC Department of Agriculture invested $500,000 in the promotion program in 2007, this figure indicates a benefit-cost ratio of 5.8.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/46729 ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE CARBON SINK SERVICES OF TROPICAL SECONDARY FORESTS AND ITS MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS AgEcon Ramirez, Octavio A.; Carpio, Carlos E.; Ortiz, Rosalba; Finnegan, Brian. This paper explores the economic feasibility secondary forest regeneration and conservation as an alternative to help address global warming. Detailed measurements of tropical secondary forests through time, in different ecological zones of Costa Rica, are used for estimating carbon storage models. The paper addresses key issues in the international discussion about cross- and within-country compensation for carbon storage services and illustrates a method to compute/predict their economic value through time under a variety of scenarios. The procedure is applicable to other developing countries where secondary forest growth is increasingly important.

Ano: 2000 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/21776 Relative Importance of Factors Affecting Customer’s Decisions to Buy Pick-Your-Own Versus Preharvested Fruit at North Carolina Farms AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Wohlgenant, Michael K.; Safley, Charles D.. This study identifies the most important factors affecting customers’ decisions to buy pickyour- own versus prepicked strawberries and muscadine grapes at direct-market operations in North Carolina. The relative importance analysis identified the region of location of the operations and prices as the explanatory variable explaining most of the variation observed in the customer’s decision to choose the type of fruit to purchase. The estimated price elasticities indicate that sales of each type of fruit are very sensitive to prices.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/47272 European Union Import Demand for In-Shell Peanuts AgEcon Boonsaeng, Tullaya; Fletcher, Stanley M.; Carpio, Carlos E.. This paper analyzes the European Union (EU) import demand for in-shell peanuts from three sources: the United States, China, and the rest of the world. We find that peanuts from different sources are differentiated by EU consumers. The expenditure elasticity is elastic for U.S. in-shell peanuts, which is associated with their higher quality. The conditional own price elasticities are more elastic for U.S. and Chinese in-shell peanuts. These findings have at least two implications. First, U.S. producers and exporters should direct efforts to ensure that in-shell peanuts exported to the EU are of the best possible quality, and, second, promotion efforts should stress the quality of U.S peanuts as an advertising tool.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/47269 Can Crop Insurance Premiums be Reliably Estimated? AgEcon Ramirez, Octavio A.; Carpio, Carlos E.; Rejesus, Roderick M.. The objective of this paper is to compare the accuracy of crop insurance rating methods based on historical liability and indemnity data (similar to the procedure currently used by the Risk Management Agency) and “yield distribution” approaches. Estimated rates are compared to “true” rates using empirically-grounded simulation procedures that take into account common data availability constraints. Simulation results suggest that farm and county level rate estimates using the “yield distribution” approach are significantly more accurate than those based on historical indemnity and liability records.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/49465 A Structural Econometric Model of Consumer Demand at Pick-Your-Own Fruit Operations AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Wohlgenant, Michael K.. This paper develops a fully structural econometric consumer demand model for goods which have time and monetary costs, and where time spent obtaining the goods also enters into the utility function. The model is used to analyze customers'’ decision to buy pick-your-own versus pre-harvested fruit at North Carolina pick-your-own fruit operations. The empirical application distinguishes the double effect of time as a resource constraint and also providing utility. Elasticity estimates show that strawberries sold at pick-your-own operations are price elastic, with pick-your-own fruit being less price elastic than pre-harvested fruit.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/21372 The Demand for Agritourism in the United States AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Wohlgenant, Michael K.; Boonsaeng, Tullaya. Data from a 2000 National Survey on Recreation is used to determine the effect of different factors affecting customers' decisions to participate in agritourism. The estimates of the own price and income elasticities are -0.13 and 0.06, respectively. The total consumer surplus from the agricultural landscape was estimated in 22 billion dollars.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/35445 How Do Restaurants Benefit from Various Components of a Regional Promotion Campaign? AgEcon Xie, Ran; Isengildina-Massa, Olga; Carpio, Carlos E.. This study analyses the economic value of various components of the Certified South Carolina Grown Campaign from the perspective of participating restaurants. A stated-preference choice experiment was conducted as part of the restaurant survey to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for each campaign component using a mixed logit model. Individual level WTP was calculated in order to explore the relationship between WTP and characteristics of restaurants. Results indicate that three existing components--Labeling, Multimedia Advertising, and "Fresh on the Menu" have significant positive economic value.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6737 The Demand for Agritourism in the United States AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Wohlgenant, Michael K.; Boonsaeng, Tullaya. Using data from the 2000 National Survey on Recreation and the Environment, this study explores factors affecting visits by the American population to farms and the economic value of the rural landscapes for farm visitors. The number of farm recreation trip visits was estimated to have own-price elasticity of -0.43 and an income elasticity of 0.24. Location of residence, race, and gender were found to be important determinants of the number of farm trips. The calculated consumer surplus is estimated at $174.82/ trip, of which $33.50 is due to the rural landscape.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/42465 To Fund or Not to Fund: Assessment of the Potential Impact of a Regional Promotion Campaign AgEcon Carpio, Carlos E.; Isengildina-Massa, Olga. This paper develops a framework for assessing the potential economic impact of a regional promotion campaign combining contingent valuation methods with a partial displacement equilibrium model. The proposed approach is applied to the evaluation of the potential economic impact of the locally grown campaign in South Carolina. Results reveal that the first season of the promotion campaign increased consumer willingness to pay for produce by 3.4%. The change in consumer preferences and the corresponding shift in demand increased producer surplus by $3.09 million. This economic benefit, combined with the 2007 promotion campaign investment, resulted in a benefit-cost ratio of 6.18.
