Optimal Allocation of Reservoir Water
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Debnath,   Deepayan; Stoecker,   Arthur L.; Boyer,   Tracy A.; Sanders,   Larry D.
The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal allocation of reservoir water among consumptive and non-consumptive uses. A non-linear mathematical programming model is developed to optimally allocate Lake Tenkiller water among competing uses that maximize the net social benefit. A mass balance is used to determine the level and volume of water in the lake. This paper examines the effect of water management on lake resources when recreational values are and are not included as control variables in the optimization process. Results show that maintaining the lake level to the ‘normal lake level’ of 632 feet during the summer months generates more recreational benefit rather than reducing the lake level by releasing water for hydro power generation.

Talking Trash: Valuing Household Preferences for Garbage and Recycling Services Bundles Using a Discrete Choice Experiment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boyer,   Tracy A.
Facing increasing costs for tipping fees and worker salaries, many smaller municipalities have begun to explore ways to adopt mechanized pay-as-you throw container garbage collection and changes to the basket of currently provided services, such as the addition of curbside recycling.  Choice-experiments, while used widely in marketing, have not often been applied to environmental policy issues such as municipal waste. Using a discrete choice experiment offers a new way to examine the basket of services cities provide in waste collection given limited budgets and often vocal opposition to change among residents. A discrete choice model is developed to test household preferences for municipal waste services in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  In addition, the study...

Changes in the Spatial Allocation of Cropland in the Ft. Cobb Watershed as a Result of Environmental Restrictions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Adams,   David L.; Boyer,   Tracy A.; Dicks,   Michael R.
Pollution runoff estimates from SWAT are used in a mathematical programming model to optimally model site-specific crop and conservation practices for pollution abatement in the Ft. Cobb watershed in Southwestern Oklahoma.  Results indicate the tradeoffs between producer income, sediment and nutrient runoff and the spatial allocation of crops in the watershed.

The Wetland Restoration Site Selection Problem Under Wetland Mitigation Banking (WMB) in Minnesota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boyer,   Tracy A.
A spatial economic model is developed to guide regulatory policy for wetland compensation under wetland mitigation banking in Minnesota. A binary integer-integer programming model identifies restoration sites based on their potential for environmental quality improvement. In contrast to results found in the application of reserve site selection for species preservation (Ando et al, 1998, Polasky et al, 2001), the unique homogeneity of wetland restoration sites in Minnesota and the inclusion of restoration costs that exhibit economies of scale suggest that the private market may function adequately to create large, high quality habitats for wetland restoration.

Demand for Multimedia in the Classroom
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boyer,   Tracy A.; Briggeman,   Brian C.; Norwood,   F. Bailey.
This study elicits preferences for multimedia in the classroom for students and faculty members in agricultural economics. Employing an Internet-based conjoint ranking survey, the results show that students prefer multimedia instructional tools over a traditional chalkboard/whiteboard lecture format while faculty members do not. Neither students nor faculty members are enthusiastic about electronic textbooks, and students will accept them only if they save $80. Finally, preferences for multimedia are shown to differ with students who self-report differing note-taking abilities, preferences for chalkboard lectures, and the need for an engaging class. Successful multimedia adoption requires appropriate use and lowering costs for students.
