| Evidence suggests that economists and agricultural economists have an unusual ability to create anxiety for university administration. Interviewers with university provosts and deans revealed support for faculty conducting relevant policy analysis, and discomfort with economists' participation in internal university decision making. The conflict is addressed by considering the nature of the decision environment, specification of decision variables, and the demand for policy evaluation to inform economists how they might contribute their expertise in a peaceful and effective manner. economists can help central administration, as policy makers, to establish systems of incentives, success metrics, and divisions of authority which match the locus of... |

| Some road-pricing demonstrations use an approach call ed "value pricing", in which travelers can choose between a free but congested roadway and a priced roadway. Recent research has uncovered a potentially serious problem for such demonstrations: in certain models, second-best tolls are far lower than those typically charged, and the welfare gains from profit maximization are small or even negative. That research, however, assumes that all travelers are identical, and it therefore neglects the benefits of product differentiation, by which people with different values of time can choose a suitable cost / quality combination. Using a model with two user groups, we find that accounting for heterogeneity in value of time is important in evaluating constrained... |

| Major innovations of the 1996 FAIR Act are PFC payments and almost complete planting flexibility. Because payments are attached to the land and not production, landlords are thought to capture most of the PFC payments. With the use of a November 1997 operator survey of cropland leasing arrangements in the Mississippi Delta of Arkansas, the current study investigates changes in crop mixes on leased land, operator attitudes concerning the operator/landlord sharing of FAIR Act benefits, and changes in leasing arrangements as a results of the FAIR Act. Although a number of operators agree that landlords disproportionately benefit from the FAIR Act, about three-quarters felt that there was not change or had no opinion. Similarly, we find little evidence... |
