JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMISTS AT NON-LAND GRANT COLLEGES: RESULTS OF A SURVEY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hyde,   Jeffrey; Lovejoy,   Stephen B.
This paper provides information about the nonagricultural academic job market to students and administrators in Agricultural Economics departments.  Particularly, we report the results of a survey sent to 295 non-Land Grant economics departments which met our criteria of offering only a Bachelor's degree in Economics.  Of the 101 returned surveys, 45% indicated that they would consider hiring an Agricultural Economist to fill a faculty position within their department.  These schools indicated that they place greater value on teaching-related experiences than research publications in prospective faculty members.  We propose the implementation of mentoring programs within Agricultural Economics departments.  Such programs would allow students to learn...

Two taxation schemes were designed to be included in a multi-regional multi-sectoral General Equilibrium model for reducing the use of commercial fertilizers, with the goal of alleviating surface water pollution. Under the 500% tax rate, results showed that 0.1% of the national income was given up in order to exchange for a 3% reduction in the fertilizer application used as an intermediate input. Furthermore environmental quality would be improved by 3%, if a linear relationship existed between the changes in intermediate fertilizer use and the improvement in environmental quality.

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS FROM AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lee,   John G.; Lovejoy,   Stephen B.
Agriculture's impact on the environment is a complex research problem.  A challenge to future economic research is to account for the interrelationship between agricultural production activities, soil productivity, erosion, and water quality.  It will become increasingly important to determine not only the economic consequences, but also the environmental effectiveness of alternative policies aimed at improving resource use and quality.  The application of biophysical simulation models to environmental quality problems provides a means to better understand the complex interaction between agricultural production and environmental quality.
