Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Eco-Certified Wood Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Jakus,   Paul M.; English,   Burton C.; Menard,   R. Jamey.
We use Kristrom’s simple spike model to assess the factors influencing consumers’ willingness to pay a premium for a variety of certified wood products.  A survey of over 1,600 Pennsylvania and Tennessee residents found that approximately 35% were willing to pay some positive “premium” for environmentally certified wood products.  For three types of weed products (a $28.80 shelf, a $199 chair, and a $799 table), we find the estimated market premiums to be $3.74, $15.94, and $45.07, respectively.

An Evaluation of Tennessee Soybean Growers’ Views on a New Generation Cooperative to Produce Biodiesel
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; English,   Burton C.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Zhang,   Yu.
Substituting petroleum diesel with biodiesel could decrease air emissions, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and help expand markets for U.S. farmers. Soybean producers can potentially capture this value-added by forward integrating the processing of soybeans into biodiesel via a New Generation Cooperative (NGC). Using probit analysis, this study examines factors influencing soybean producers’ willingness to participate in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Tobit analysis is used to examine the factors influencing the number of shares the soybean producer would be willing to purchase. Survey results indicate that over 70% of the soybean producers in the study group are interested in investing in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Among those producers willing to...

Farmer Willingness to Supply Poultry Litter for Energy Conversion and to Invest in an Energy Conversion Cooperative
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Bazen,   Ernest F.; Menard,   R. Jamey; English,   Burton C.
Conversion of poultry litter to energy can serve as a renewable energy source and provide an alternative to land application in areas where poultry production is intensive. Economies of size may limit a farmer’s ability to economically use on-farm conversion. Capital costs can be spread across several poultry farmers to convert poultry litter to energy in a centralized facility. This research determined influences on the amount of litter poultry producers will to sell to a centralized conversion facility, on their willingness to invest in a conversion cooperative, and on the prices for litter required to divert litter from current uses.

Economic Impacts of Carbon Taxes and Biomass Feedstock Usage in Southeastern United States Coal Utilities
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: English,   Burton C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Walsh,   Marie E.; Brandt,   Craig; Van Dyke,   Jim; Hadley,   Stanton.
The Southeastern United States depends on coal to supply 60% of its electricity needs. The region leads in CO2 emissions and ranks second in emissions of SO2 and NO2. Compared with coal, biomass feedstocks have lower emission levels of sulfur or sulfur compounds and can potentially reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. This study examines the economic impacts of cofiring level scenarios. Economic impacts are estimated for producing, collecting, and transporting feedstock; retrofitting coal-fired utilities for burning feedstock; operating cofired utilities; and coal displaced from burning the feedstock.

Autores: English,   Burton C.; Torre Ugarte,   Daniel de la; Walsh,   Marie E.; Hellwinckel,   Chad M.; Menard,   R. Jamey.
The economic competitiveness of biobased industries is discussed by comparing the South relative to other regions of the United States and biomass as a feedstock source relative to fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum.  An estimate of the biomass resource base is provided.  Estimated changes in the agricultural sector over time resulting from the development of a large-scale biobased industry are reported, and a study on the potential to produce electricity from biomass compared with coal in the southern United States is reviewed.  A biobased industry can increase net farm income and enhance economics development and job creation.

Farmer Willingness to Grow Switchgrass for Energy Production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Clark,   Christopher D.; Ellis,   Pamela; English,   Burton C.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Walsh,   Marie E.
Increasing demand for the production of energy from renewable sources has fueled a search for alternatives to supplement those currently in production.  One such alternative is switchgrass, a perennial grass native to North America that appears to have considerable potential as a biomass feedstock for energy production. While the properties of switchgrass as a biomass feedstock have been intensively studied, the potential market for switchgrass has received much less attention.  A survey of Tennessee farmers was conducted to improve our understanding of those who might be willing to supply switchgrass to an emerging energy market.  The results of this survey provide information on the willingness of Tennessee's agricultural producers to grow switchgrass as...

Autores: Register,   D. Lane; Lambert,   Dayton M.; English,   Burton C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Brown,   Jason P.
Suppression of employment records in the US County Business Patterns (CBP) data sets constrains the detail of new methods and recent advances in the analysis of the geographic distribution of firms and employment. Data sets created by imputation procedures can be purchased, but cost often puts them beyond the reach of many research budgets. Fortunately, methods exist whereby researchers can impute suppressed employment records. A comparison of these procedures is necessary to assess the accuracy and flexibility of each.

Geographical Analysis of US Green Sector Industry Concentration
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Register,   D. Lane; Lambert,   Dayton M.; English,   Burton C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Wilcox,   Michael D.
This paper analyzes the geographic distribution of “green energy” sector clustering in the lower 48 United States using recent developments in industry concentration analysis. Evidence suggests that the ten green energy subsectors and the aggregate of the firms comprising the green energy sector are regionally concentrated. Positive changes in industry concentration from 2002 to 2006 tended to be greatest in non-metropolitan counties, suggesting comparative advantage with respect to site location for the composite of firms making up these sectors.

Agricultural Impacts of Biofuels Production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Walsh,   Marie E.; Torre Ugarte,   Daniel de la; English,   Burton C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Hellwinckel,   Chad M.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Nelson,   Richard G.
Analysis of the potential to supply 25% of projected 2025 U.S. transportation fuels indicates sufficient biomass resources are available to meet increased demand while simultaneously meeting food, feed, and export needs. Corn and soybeans continue to be important feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel production, but cellulose feedstocks (agricultural crop residues, energy crops such as switchgrass, and forestry residues) will play a major role. Farm income increases, mostly because of higher crop prices. Increased crop prices increase the cost of producing biofuels.

Geographic Distribution of Renewable Energy Sector Industries: An Analysis Using Recent Developments in Industry Concentration Measurement
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Register,   D. Lane; Lambert,   Dayton M.; English,   Burton C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Wilcox,   Michael D.
Recent developments in firm location analysis are applied to explore the concentration patterns of firms making up the green energy sectors in 2002 and 2006. A two-step procedure is applied in this analysis. First, Guimarães, Figueiredo, and Woodward’s spatial adaption of Ellison and Glaeser’s industry concentration index are applied to estimate the degree to which firms making up the so-called green energy sectors tend to exhibit concentration. In the second stage, the spatial distribution of concentration is analyzed using a statistical framework, also suggested by Guimarães, Figueiredo, and Woodward. Preliminary results suggest that green energy subsectors exhibit significant global concentration, but localized concentration appears to be random.
