ESTIMATION OF FIRM-VARYING, INPUT-SPECIFIC EFFICIENCIES IN DAIRY PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lass,   Daniel A.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
Firm-varying production technologies were estimated using random coefficients regression methods for a sample of Massachusetts dairy farms.  Results were compared to OLS Cobb-Douglas production function estimates.  The random coefficients regression model was found to virtually eliminate conventionally measured firm technical inefficiencies by estimating individual firm technologies and ascribing remaining inefficiencies to specific inputs.  Input-specific measures of firm inefficiencies showed hired labor, land, and machinery inputs to be used in excess of efficient levels.  Livestock supplies were underutilized by all farms.  Efficiencies of feed, crop materials, fuels, and utilities varied, although estimated means were closer to optimal levels.

Autores: Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Tambe,   A.M.; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Toensmeyer,   Ulrich C.
This study illustrates the differences in empirical results due to data measurements and estimating procedures when applying the single index market model in agriculture.  Gross and net return betas along with systematic and unsystematic risk proportions are estimated and found to be different.  The stochastic coefficients model is used to show the difference in beta-risk estimates compared with the traditional fixed coefficients OLS procedure.  A third estimating technique, weighted least squares/Prais Winsten method, is also proposed.

Autores: McDermott,   John; Bacon,   J. Richard; Pesek,   John D., Jr.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Tilmon,   H. Don.
Conjoint analysis was used to evaluate the preferences of graphic designers toward kenaf paper. Results indicate that price is of overwhelming importance to designers in their purchasing decisions regarding paper stock. If priced competitively with existing wood and recycled papers, kenaf products should gain market share among designers.

THE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A FRESH PRODUCE PACKING HOUSE IN JORDAN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hattar,   Raed F.; Bacon,   J. Richard; Toensmeyer,   Ulrich C.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
Historically, Jordan's traditional markets for fresh produce have been the Persian Gulf countries.  However, these exports have declined in recent years and new markets in Europe have been tapped.  One of the main constraints to expanding the European market is the lack of quality-oriented packing houses in Jordan.  This study considers the feasibility of a vegetable packing house designed to meet the quality requirements of the European market.  The overall objective is to evaluate the economic viability of packing and transporting various fresh produce items to the European market.  Specifically, four transportation scenarios were evaluated using a comprehensive firm-level, dynamic and stochastic, multiple-year, capital budgeting computer simulation...

RECENT CHANGES IN THE REGIONAL STRUCTURE OF U.S. DAIRY PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huy,   Birgit; Elterich,   Joachim G.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
Gauging the impact of recent policy changes, this article analyzes production characteristics and the impact of the dairy assessment for northeastern dairy farmers as compared to other major production regions.  Employing a restricted translog variable profit function, returns to size, shadow prices, supply elasticities for milk and livestock as well as demand elasticities for concentrate were estimated.  Northeastern, just as Midwestern farmers, were less responsive in milk supply and concentrate demand, more responsive in livestock production, and less efficient than their California and Texas counterparts.  The dairy assessment affected profits of northeastern farmers later than those of other regions.  Negative shadow prices indicated overinvestment...

AN OPTIMAL CONTROL FRAMEWORK FOR INTER - REGIONAL DAIRY POLICY ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tanjuakio,   Rodolfo V.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Elterich,   Joachim G.
An eleven-region stochastic coefficient econometric model was estimated and used in an optimal control framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the dairy price support program and marketing orders in reducing and stabilizing government purchases of dairy products. The results showed significant pressure on the reduction of the support price  both in the presence and absence of Class I differentials. The optimal control model also showed that the drop in price support levels did not dramatically alter the regional distribution of milk production.

A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE ECONOMICS REVIEW
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Albay,   Fe Zinnia.
A content analysis is conducted on the Agricultural and Resource Economics Review the official publication of the Northeastern Agricultural and Resource Economics Association, to determine whether the journal has maintained a strong regional focus and whether there has been a narrow concentration of published articles in subject area and methodology.  The results show that in the 1990s (1) the share of articles that do not focus on the Northeast has increased tremendously and (2) more articles used quantitative techniques than nonquantitative methods.

PUBLIC ATTITUDES IN THE NORTHEAST REGION TOWARD RECOMBINANT PORCINE SOMATOTROPIN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Halbrendt,   Catherine K.; Sterling,   Lesa; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.; Huang,   Chung L.
This study explored the attitudes of consumers regarding the use of recombinant porcine somatotropin (PST) in the production of pork, and the association between the attitudes and individual socioeconomic characteristics. The data were collected from surveys of households located in the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan area. The results show that both gender and education may play a role in the level of concern regarding the use of PST. Education programs which address the safety of pork produced with PST need to target the lower-educated and female consumers. More-over, the education program should be developed by organizations which are trusted by the public, such as universities and public agencies.

AN EVALUATION OF CONSUMER PESTICIDE RESIDUE CONCERNS AND RISK INFORMATION SOURCES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Byrne,   Patrick J.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Toensmeyer,   Ulrich C.
Marginal probability effects of demographic variables on consumer concerns about pesticide residues were assessed as well as the likelihood of consumer beliefs given different channels of information on produce safety and risks. This was done using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of ordered logit models. The empirical results showed that pesticide residue concern levels appeared to be lower for more highly educated and high income households. Safety information from the academic community was found to have the highest likelihood of acceptance by consumers.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shahid,   Abdus; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
This study examines the effectiveness of price versus nonprice promotion programs for U.S. poultry exports. A comparative static simulation framework is specified for this purpose. The elasticities needed for the simulation model are estimated using seemingly unrelated regression and time-varying parameter regression techniques. Results from this study indicate that a price subsidy is more effective than nonprice market promotion programs in raising export demand for U.S. poultry.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Manalo,   Alberto B.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
In a mail survey of shellfish consumers in the U. S. Northeast, a conjoint experiment was conducted where respondents were asked to rank oyster alternatives that differed on the following attributes:  source information, price, and inspection information.  Ordered probit analysis of all responses revealed that inspection information was the most important attribute, followed by source information, and price.  Respondents most preferred oysters that were farm- raised, priced at $3.49/oz., and inspected by the Food and Drug Administration.  Individual part- worths were also estimated using ordinary least squares regression.  Logit analysis revealed that the probability of inspection information being the most-valued attribute increased when the respondent...

IMPACT OF FOREIGN POLITICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL INSTABILITY ON U.S. AGRICULTURAL TRADE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Awokuse,   Titus O.; Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II.
Very little research exists on the potential impact of political and institutional instability on agricultural trade. This paper evaluates the effects of political instability on U.S. agricultural exports. Relative to effects of potential instability measures, we found that the economic variables are more significant determinants of bilateral agricultural trade.

A FARM TO RETAIL SECTORAL ANALYSIS OF THE NORTHEAST FOOD INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gempesaw,   Conrado M., II; Reisner,   G.C.; Wobus,   P.J.
Previous studies analyzing the U.S. food industry have used national data and/or have focused on a particular sector of the industry.  However, regional differences in resource endowments, income opportunities and population distribution imply that the impact of changing economic environment will not be the same for all regions.  A farm to retail multiproduct sectoral model for the Northeast food industry is developed and estimated.  This regional approach is used to analyze the effects of changes in exogenous variables on the Northeast region's food production and consumption.  Empirical results are presented in terms of intrasectoral flexibilities and elasticities. Selected results from other regions are also presented and compared with the Northeast...
