POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF CHANGES TO GOVERNMENT PAYMENT LIMITS FOR MISSISSIPPI FARMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   J. Corey; Coble,   Keith H.; Vergara,   Oscar; Broyles,   Meredith E.
This paper examines the issue of government payment limits and how changes to these limits could impact program crops producers in Mississippi.  Economic factors affecting the incidence of payment limits on various program crops are also discussed.  The latest proposed change to payment limits, bill S. 667, is evaluated in contrast to the provisions of the current farm bill.  Data from other states are also examined in order to obtain a better understanding of the regional differences in the application of payment limits.

An International Comparison of the Effects of Government Agricultural Support on Food Budget Shares
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   J. Corey; Coble,   Keith H.
This study evaluates econometrically the effect of government support to agriculture on a measure of the affordability of food in 10 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The panel model we construct specifically utilizes two values calculated by the OECD: Producer Support Estimates as a percentage of gross farm receipts and the Consumer Nominal Protection Coefficient. These two variables represent transfers from taxpayers to agricultural producers through government programs and transfers from consumers to government through protectionist measures, respectively. By using dummy variables, we find implications for groups of countries on the basis of their relative levels of support and protection.

Agricultural Insurance as an Environmental Policy Tool
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Coble,   Keith H.; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Miller,   J. Corey; Shaik,   Saleem.
This paper examines the possibility that insurance for row crops, livestock, and aquaculture can be used effectively to encourage producers to adopt practices that will improve environmental behavior.  Examples of agricultural environmental insurance are provided and considered in the context of alternative policy mechanisms.  The current state of agricultural insurance and the nonagricultural environmental insurance market are explored.  We also lay out the characteristics of an insurable risk along with the theoretical basis of insurance provision.  An empirical example of an environmental insurance design is provided, and the behavioral implications of such a design are examined.  Finally, we discuss important considerations that should be evaluated...

INVESTIGATING THE IMPLICATIONS OF MULTI-CROP REVENUE INSURANCE FOR PRODUCER RISK MANAGEMENT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   J. Corey; Coble,   Keith H.; Barnett,   Barry J.
This study investigates the potential for alternative multi-crop revenue insurance designs in  comparison to single crop yield and  revenue insurance designs. A  non-parametric multi-crop insurance model is developed which subsumes the single crop designs. The results compare alternative designs in terms of rate levels and risk reduction gains for representative Mississippi producers.

Identifying Risk Factors Affecting Weather- and Disease-Related Losses in the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hanson,   Terrill R.; Shaik,   Saleem; Coble,   Keith H.; Edwards,   Seanicaa; Miller,   J. Corey.
Two double-limit tobit models are used to identify significant risk factors that most affect farm-raised catfish losses from weather-related events and from disease outbreaks. Results of the weather loss model indicate that the variables for operator education level, number of ponds, pond water depth, production management strategy, past experience with severe losses from low oxygen levels from off-farm power outages, past experience with severe losses from diseases, and being in the South are statistically significant. Results of the disease loss model indicate that the variables for operator experience and pond water depth are significant. De-velopment of models explaining weather and disease losses through observable variables pro-vides a better...

The Effect of Changing Government Subsidy Programs: An Analysis of Revenue at the Farm level
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Coble,   Keith H.; Thomas,   Sarah E.; Miller,   J. Corey.
Producer revenue is simultaneously simulated for several hundred county-specific representative farms.  The effects of current and alternative commodity programs are analyzed.  In particular, two variations of revenue-triggered programs similar to plans proposed by the National Corn Growers Association are evaluated.

ANALYZING PRODUCER PREFERENCES FOR COUNTER-CYCLICAL GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   J. Corey; Barnett,   Barry J.; Coble,   Keith H.
A dynamic-stochastic model is developed to evaluate preferences among alternative counter-cyclical payment programs for representative farms producing corn and soybeans in Iowa and cotton and soybeans in Mississippi.  These programs are found to not necessarily be preferred to existing government programs.

Incentives Matter: Assessing Biofuel Policies in the South
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   J. Corey; Coble,   Keith H.
As a result of the increase in the real cost of fossil fuel-based energy in recent years, federal and state governments have taken a more active role in energy policy by creating incentives to develop alternative sources of energy, including biofuels. However, policymakers often become focused on the specific type of energy and not the energy services consumers ultimately value. The lack of recognition of energy as a commodity results in policies that ignore the characteristics of the associated markets: easy entry and exit, no barriers to entry, and sensitivity to changes in supply and demand. Consequently, energy industries may fail to arise because entrepreneurs must be able to account for all costs and earn—at a minimum—a competitive return on the...

Crop Supply Response under Risk: Impacts of Emerging Issues on Southeastern U.S. Agriculture
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liang,   Yan; Miller,   J. Corey; Harri,   Ardian; Coble,   Keith H.
In this paper we consider factors that affect both crop prices and yields in order to examine supply responses of major crops in the Southeast. Due to the variable nature of crop production in the Southeast, previous studies that ignore price and yield risk may fail to capture one of the salient features of the region’s agriculture. Our results indicate supply elasticity values for corn, cotton, and soybeans of approximately 0.670, 0.506, and 0.195, respectively. Compared with the results of studies in other regions, corn and cotton acres respond more to price changes and soybean acres respond less to price changes.

USING PRIVATE RISK MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTS TO MANAGE COUNTER-CYCLICAL PAYMENT RISKS UNDER THE NEW FARM BILL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Coble,   Keith H.; Miller,   J. Corey.
This research evaluates whether or not hedging strategies using call options on the New York Board of Trade cotton futures can be effectively used to protect the new counter-cyclical payment on cotton.  Results indicate that some level of counter-cyclical payment hedging is optimal for risk averse decision makers.  Optimal hedge ratios depend on planting time expectations of the marketing year average price as well as on what crop, if any, has been planted on the base acres receiving the counter-cyclical payment.

Hedging a Government Entitlement: The Case of Countercyclical Payments
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Coble,   Keith H.; Miller,   J. Corey.
This research evaluates whether the introduction of countercyclical payments creates an incentive for program crop producers to hedge the expected government payment using futures and/or options. Results indicate that some level of countercyclical payment hedging is optimal for risk-averse decision makers. However, optimal hedge ratios depend on planting time expectations of marketing year average price as well as on what crop, if any, has been planted on countercyclical payment base acres. These results suggest that the ability to hedge may make these payments more decoupled but also illustrate the distortion of producer behavior induced by farm programs.
