AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM LOW INPUT FARMING IN ARGENTINA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: de Prada,   Jorge D.; Bravo-Ureta,   Boris E.; Shah,   Farhed A.
The tradeoff between short-term agricultural productivity and sustainability is examined with a statistical analysis of evidence from low input agriculture in Argentina. Estimation results show that more intensive land use, corporate leasing of land, and larger farm size are likely to increase current revenues, but at the cost of sustainability.

SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT IN FLOOD CONTROL DAMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pattanapanchai,   Maneechit; Shah,   Farhed A.; Annandale,   George.
Reservoir sedimentation reduces economic value and longevity of flood control dams. Periodic sediment removal allows extension of reservoir life. An optimal control model is developed to evaluate alternative sediment management strategies for flood control dams.  An illustrative empirical analysis shows that sustainable management is economically desirable for a wide range of parameter values.

SEDIMENTATION OF RESERVOIRS: PREVENTION VS CLEANUP
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kapadia,   Mustafa; Shah,   Farhed A.; Warner,   Glenn.
Soil erosion from cropland contributes significantly to reducing storage capacity in reservoirs. A model is developed for comparing economic desirability of various catchment level soil conservation practices. Results from an illustrative case study show that prevention of sediment accumulation can be much more economical than sediment removal at the reservoir level.

AMENITY BENEFITS AND PUBLIC POLICY: AN APPLICATION TO THE CONNECTICUT DAIRY SECTOR
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Altobello,   Marilyn A.; Shah,   Farhed A.
This article develops a conceptual framework for analyzing the role of state-level policies towards the dairy sector in the presence of farmland amenity benefits, and applies it to Connecticut.  Milk supply, demand and amenity benefit functions are estimated, and three exogenously determined milk prices are considered.  The empirical findings show, under each price scenario, the extent to which land is underallocated to the dairy sector if amenity benefits are ignored.  Analysis of policy options reveals that a partial production cost subsidy represents the least-cost alternative for attaining the socially optimal solution for the region.

VALUING WATER QUALITY CHANGES AT CONNECTICUT LAKES WITH CONTINGENT PRICE DATA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fishman,   Kara J.; Leonard,   Robert L.; Shah,   Farhed A.
A survey based approach is proposed to augment the property value method when historical information on water quality variation is unavailable.  Data from three Connecticut lakes is used to illustrate this approach.  The impact of hypothetical water quality changes on recreational and aesthetic values is assessed and analyzed.

Economics of Integrated Watershed and Reservoir Management
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Yoon; Yoon,   Taeyeon; Shah,   Farhed A.
A dynamic optimization framework is used to analyze integrated watershed management and suggest appropriate policies. Soil conservation, reservoir level sediment release, downstream water allocation and water quality are subject to control. Application of the model to the Aswan Dam watershed illustrates the need for international cooperation to manage shared watersheds.
