Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Allen,   Albert J.; Myles,   Albert E.; Shaik,   Saleem; Yeboah,   Osei-Agyeman.
Millions of pounds of fresh fruits, vegetables, cut flowers, herbs, and other agricultural and food products enter the United States via commercial shipments from other countries every year. Although these items appear harmless, there could be hidden threats in that baggage and in those truckloads, trainloads, and containers of fresh and processed food items that could seriously threaten U.S. agriculture, its natural resources, and its economy (U.S. Customs and Border Protection 2007). Food imports play a major role in the success and competitiveness of various agribusiness firms in the United States. For example, food imports generate income, employment, output, and taxes and provide consumers with lower-priced products than those produced or purchased in...

The Economic impact of Repealing Mississippi's Grocery Tax
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Myles,   Albert E.; Allen,   Albert J.; Shaik,   Saleem.
Results from the analyses indicate that repealing the 7 percent grocery tax would produce modest gains in grocery sales but major increases in the purchases of other goods and services. Revenues from the sale of additional groceries would be exempt from taxes, thus producing only employment and labor income. With the state loosing almost $202 million in tax revenues, it is not clear if the gains in employment would be enough to offset the revenue losses.

The Structure Performance Hypothesis and The Efficient Structure Performance Hypothesis-Revisited: The Case of Agribusiness Commodity and Food Products Truck Carriers in the South
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Allen,   Albert J.; Shaik,   Saleem; Myles,   Albert E.; Muhammad,   Safdar.
Two competing hypotheses on market structure and performance of firms are the traditional structure-conduct-performance (SCP) paradigm and the efficiency structure hypothesis. This paper reveals the profits made by firms in the trucking industry were because of greater efficiencies than their competitors and not because of collusive activities.

Measuring the Economic Impact of Tourism and Special Events: Lessons from Mississippi
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Myles,   Albert E.; Carter,   Rachael.
With the use of this dynamic spreadsheet model, tourism managers can gain valuable insight into tourism and special events.  This insight can help them plan future events or evaluate whether the costs of producing these events are justified by the benefits.  Visitor spending from outside the county creates direct sales in the local economy.  Each dollar of direct sales adds indirect and induced spending in the county.  Besides these impacts, visitor spending produces labor income and jobs for residents in the county.

Evaluating the Impact of Changing Mississippi’s Tobacco Tax
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Myles,   Albert E.; Allen,   Albert J.
A multiple regression was performed on 37 years of data to determine the impact of raising the tobacco tax on cigarettes by $.24 per pack on cigarette sales in Mississippi. The t-statistic for the slope was significant at the .05 critical alpha level, t(29) =1.69 and  p=.05. Thus, we conclude that there is a positive significant relationship between taxes and sales volume. Further, about 91 of the variability in sales volume could be explained by the demand model.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shaik,   Saleem; Allen,   Albert J.; Myles,   Albert E.; Yeboah,   Osei-Agyeman.
This study evaluates the consequences of financial variables on the efficiency of Class I railroads in the United States for the period 1996-2006. A panel stochastic frontier analysis is used to simultaneously estimate the stochastic frontier model and financial ratio model with output and efficiency measures as endogenous variables. Results show the average efficiency measures was 83 percent across six major class I railroads. The Burlington Northern-Santa Fe was most efficient and Norfolk Southern the least efficient for the period, 1996-2006.
