Última An Implementable Index of Sustainability and Assessment of Energy Policy AgEcon Sesmero, Juan P.; Fulginiti, Lilyan E.. Energy is a critical input in production and the main sources of energy in modern economies are exhaustible. Therefore sustaining aggregate consumption across generations requires reduction of the quantity of energy used per unit of output. Energy policies incentivize the deployment of new technologies that will not only increase energy efficiency but also impact the ease with which capital and materials can substitute for energy and hence the ability of societies to sustain consumption. Therefore an assessment of the impact of energy policies on sustainable consumption requires accounting for the link between technological progress and substitutability. We first allow for biased technical change and find that capital augmenting technical change (e.g....

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61637 Induced Innovations and Foreign Workers in U.S. Agriculture AgEcon Napasintuwong, Orachos; Emerson, Robert D.. A cost function approach of induced innovation is used to measure the biases in U.S. agricultural technology between 1948-1994. The results show significant labor-saving, capital-using technical change. Focusing on the impact of migration policy on labor-saving technology, a simulaton of different rates of labor-saving technical change is conducted. The simulation shows decreases in elasticity of labor demand and demand quantity, and an increase in wage rate as technology becomes more labor-saving.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/15641 Labor Substitutability in Labor Intensive Agriculture and Technological Change in the Presence of Foreign Labor AgEcon Napasintuwong, Orachos; Emerson, Robert D.. The Morishima elasticity of substitution (MES) is estimated to address factor substitutability in Florida agriculture during 1960-1999. By adopting a profit maximization model of induced innovation theory, the MES's between hired and self-employed labor and the MES's between labor and capital provide implications for future immigration policies.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/15649 Agricultural Productivity Growth in the European Union and Transition Countries AgEcon Lissitsa, Alexej; Rungsuriyawiboon, Supawat. Economic reform in the Central and Eastern European countries in the 1980s helped transform the structure and volume of agricultural production, consumption and trade, and resulted in significant agricultural productivity improvements. However, there are large differences among the transition countries in the magnitude and direction of these changes. The main objective of this study is to measure and compare the levels and trends in agricultural productivity in transition countries with those of the European Union (EU) countries making use of the most recent data available from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This study employs a parametric distance function approach to measure Malmquist productivity index as well as the magnitude and...
