Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Diagne,   Assane; Lavergne,   David R.; Olatubi,   Williams O.
In 1996, over 62 million U.S. residents participated in wildlife watching and spent in excess of 29 billion dollars in this recreational activity. Wildlife watching can be defined as the observation, study, and enjoyment of natural areas and its wild fauna and flora. Residential wildlife watching takes place within one mile of the participant's residence and is often an incidental or secondary activity. Non-residential wildlife watching refers to recreation taking place at a distance of at least one mile from the participant's residence. In recent years, a sharp decline in the number of wildlife watchers has been noted.  Between 1991 and 1996, the number of wildlife watchers decreased by 17 percent. During this time interval, the largest decline in...

DOUBLE-HURDLE MODEL WITH BIVARIATE NORMAL ERRORS: AN APPLICATION TO U.S. RICE DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gao,   Xiaoming; Wailes,   Eric J.; Cramer,   Gail L.
Per capita rice consumption in the U.S. has doubled over the past decade. The effects of social and demographic variables on the household's rice consumption decisions are analyzed along with income and price variables. A double-hurdle model is used to solve simultaneously the consumer decisions whether to purchase rice and how much. The joint decision hypothesis is tested and accepted. The non-normal distribution of error terms may be responsible for possible bias in the empirical test of the joint decision hypothesis. The hyperbolic sine transformation is used to correct the problem in this study prior to testing the joint decision hypothesis.

Measuring and Analyzing Farm Financial Stress

The financial health of the agricultural economy has been excellent for the past few years, especially with farm income reaching record levels. However, the U.S. economy has experienced a recession and a credit crisis. Although the U.S. farm sector has been mostly shielded from the economic downturn, farm financial stress is still possible under current conditions. Are some U.S. farm businesses, especially those with term debt, poised to experience significant financial stress in 2010? We use the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), sponsored jointly by USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) and National Agricultural Statistical Service, to help answer this question.

Off-farm Income and Investments in Farm Assets: A Double Hurdle Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Harris,   James Michael; Blank,   Steven C.; Erickson,   Kenneth W.; Hallahan,   Charles B.
The farm household structure is a complex set of inter-relationships between and among a variety of internal and external factors involving consumption, investment, and income-earning activities. In this paper we use ARMS data to explore the contribution of off-farm income to the viability of the farm business.  We focus on the link between off-farm income and farm investment and whether off-farm income drives on-farm investment.  The results indicate the importance of farm characteristics such as type, size, and location on the probability of investment but lead us to reject the hypothesis that off farm income is driving farm investment.  Further research will be needed to further unweave some of the complex relationships involved in the farm household...
