Última Best Management Practices to Enhance Water Quality: Who is Adopting Them? AgEcon Ghazalian, Pascal L.; Larue, Bruno; West, Gale E.. This study investigates the determinants affecting producers’ adoption of some Best Management Practices (BMPs). Priors about the signs of certain variables are explicitly accounted for by testing for inequality restrictions through importance sampling. Education, gender, age, and on-farm residence are found to have significant effects on the adoption of some BMPs. Farms with larger animal production are more apt to implement manure management practices, crop rotation, and riparian buffer strips. Also, farms with larger cultivated acres are more inclined to implement herbicide control practices, crop rotation, and riparian buffer strips. Belonging to an agro-environment club has a positive impact for most BMPs.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/56655 Profiling Consumer Trend-setters in the Canadian Healthy-foods Market AgEcon West, Gale E.; Larue, Bruno. The agri-food industry faces new challenges as consumer demand for new, healthier foods increases. Media headlines frequently mention health benefits from certain foods and food components, and consumers are more health conscious because they are aging. They realize their food choices can reduce their risk of developing chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. The competitive advantages for firms who are the first to bring their food innovations to market will depend in part on the efficacy of their marketing strategies. Firms that can identify and target those consumers who are most interested in trying new foods with enhanced functional health properties will likely be the most successful. This paper identifies attitudinal and sociodemographic... Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Consumer/Household Economics; Health Economics and Policy; Marketing. Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/45739 The Transmission of Price Trends from Consumers to Producers and Tests of Market Power AgEcon Lkassbi, Driss; West, Gale E.; Clark, J. Stephen. This study examines the competitiveness of four Canadian agricultural industries (eggs, milk, chicken and turkey) using a general equilibrium farm to retail pricing model developed by Wohlgenant (1989). The model generates retail and farm pricing equations that are estimated using maximum likelihood developed by Johansen (1992). The results indicate that in all cases, long-run constant returns is rejected, indicating market power within the Canadian retail to farm marketing sector. The model also finds more cointegrating vectors than predicted by theory, also inconsistent with competitive markets. Results are based on commercial disappearance as a proxy for consumer demand and therefore confounding between uncompetitive markets and quality differences may...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/45497 Technical Efficiency, Environment Efficiency, Productivity and Beneficial Management Practices AgEcon Lota, Tamini D.; Bruno, Larue; West, Gale E.. An input distance function (IDF) is estimated to empirically evaluate and analyze the technical and environmental efficiencies of 210 farms located in the Chaudière watershed (Quebec), where water quality problems are particularly acute because of the production of undesirable outputs that are jointly produced with agricultural products. The true IDF is approximated by a flexible translog functional form estimated using a full information maximum likelihood method. Technical and environmental efficiencies are disaggregated across farms and account for spatial variations. Our results show that there is a significant correlation between technical and environmental efficiencies. Farms that are technically efficient tend to be environmentally efficient. We...
