Estimating the Supply Curve for Nutria Pelts From Coastal Louisiana and the Impacts Associated with Declining Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dedah,   Cheikhna O.; Isaacs,   Jack C.; Keithly,   Walter R., Jr.; Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.
Nutria harvests vary with price. As pelt prices declined, nutria populations - and wetland degradation – have risen. This paper develops a nutria supply model to predict harvests at various prices which are incorporated into a wetland loss model to determine how alternative incentive programs affect changes in wetland degradation.

Factors Influencing Private Landowner  Restoration Investment Decisions in Coastal Louisiana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dedah,   Cheikhna O.; Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.; Keithly,   Walter R., Jr.
Coastal wetland loss has been a major problem in Louisiana, exceeding 1.2 million acres over the last century alone. Although federal, state, and local efforts have attempted to combat this loss from a public perspective, little has been done to encourage private landowners to maintain and protect their coastal lands.  This paper investigates the factors that influence private landowners to invest in coastal wetland restoration and maintenance activities in Louisiana.  We surveyed private coastal landowners to determine their general socioeconomic characteristics, attitudes toward risks, attitudes toward wetland conservation, current uses of landholdings, and previous investments in wetland restoration and maintenance projects. Using this survey data, an...

An Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System for Oysters in the United States: An Empirical Investigation of the Impacts of Mandatory Labels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dedah,   Cheikhna O.; Keithly,   Walter R., Jr.; Diop,   Hamady; Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.
In 1991, mandatory warning labels were imposed on the sale of oysters harvested from the Gulf of Mexico.  Using an IAIDS model, this paper investigates the impact of these labels on the demand for Gulf product as well related oyster products (the Chesapeake, the Pacific, and imports).

The Role of Bounties and Human Behavior on Louisiana Nutria Harvests
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dedah,   Cheikhna O.; Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.; Keithly,   Walter R., Jr.
In response to nutria-linked degradation of much of its coastal wetlands, Louisiana established the Coastwide Nutria Control Program (CNCP) in January 2002. CNCP instituted, among other things, an ‘‘economic incentive payment’’ of $4.00 per delivered nutria tail from registered participants in the program. To examine whether this bounty has had an impact on nutria harvest and whether alternative bounty levels can, in general, generate additional harvesting activities, we developed a bioeconomic supply model that relates Louisiana’s annual nutria harvests to a suite of economic and environmental factors. Results suggested that the annual nutria harvest is responsive to both the price received per animal and costs. Results also suggested that the nutria...

Precautionary wealth among U.S farm households
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dedah,   Cheikhna O.; Mishra,   Ashok K.
Using a cross sectional farm-level data we find that farm households who face higher income uncertainty save more and accumulate more wealth. Precautionary savings is about 6 percent of the total farm household wealth.  In addition to precautionary saving, and consistent with theory we found that the age, education, occupation, and the number of acres operated are all important factors that influence wealth accumulation by U.S farm households.

Farmland Values, Government Payments, and the Overall Risk to U.S. Agriculture: A Structural Equation-Latent Variable Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mishra,   Ashok K.; Dedah,   Cheikhna O.
According to Ricardian rent theory, the value of farm assets is equal to the discounted present value of future expected net rents from farm returns, and the discounted expected value of the land if converted to nonfarm development. Some recent research has considered modifying this standard present value model by acknowledging that returns from the market may be discounted at a different interest rate than returns from government payments (Goodwin, Mishra, and Ortal-Magne) and also that the discount rate itself may be time-varying.  However, very little research has considered how changes in the overall risk to agriculture may affect farmland values.  An exception is Moss, Shonkwiler and Schmitz (2004).  We use time series panel data from the USDA for...
