Agricultural Insurance as an Environmental Policy Tool
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Coble,   Keith H.; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Miller,   J. Corey; Shaik,   Saleem.
This paper examines the possibility that insurance for row crops, livestock, and aquaculture can be used effectively to encourage producers to adopt practices that will improve environmental behavior.  Examples of agricultural environmental insurance are provided and considered in the context of alternative policy mechanisms.  The current state of agricultural insurance and the nonagricultural environmental insurance market are explored.  We also lay out the characteristics of an insurable risk along with the theoretical basis of insurance provision.  An empirical example of an environmental insurance design is provided, and the behavioral implications of such a design are examined.  Finally, we discuss important considerations that should be evaluated...

Comparison of Stated Choice and In-store Experimental Methods in Predicting Actual Market Behavior for Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Consumers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gallardo,   Rosa Karina; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Hudson,   Darren.
The stated choice (SC) and actual revealed pricing/purchase experimental methods were compared for their ability to predict purchasing behavior and willingness-to-pay for freshwater prawns.  SC hypothetical bias may be a consequence of difficulties in controlling factors affecting real world situations, small sample sizes and confusion related to the new product.

COASTAL ALABAMA RECREATIONAL LIVE BAIT STUDY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wallace,   R.K.; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Hatch,   L. Upton.
Recreational fishing is major industry and reasonably priced, high quality bait plays an important role in sustaining recreational fishing's popularity. This study provides a summary of Alabama's coastal live bait market including information on previous live bait studies and results of two surveys on the live bait shrimp, bull minnow and other bait markets. Results indicated there were periods of supply shortages, dealer willingness to pay more for shrimp that live longer and a dealers' use of multiple supply sources. Lost income was reported from not having live bait shrimp available for sale at peak demand periods. The economics of shrimp mariculture needs to be examined to determine its feasibility in augmenting the current supply of shrimp to the live...

Identifying Risk Factors Affecting Weather- and Disease-Related Losses in the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hanson,   Terrill R.; Shaik,   Saleem; Coble,   Keith H.; Edwards,   Seanicaa; Miller,   J. Corey.
Two double-limit tobit models are used to identify significant risk factors that most affect farm-raised catfish losses from weather-related events and from disease outbreaks. Results of the weather loss model indicate that the variables for operator education level, number of ponds, pond water depth, production management strategy, past experience with severe losses from low oxygen levels from off-farm power outages, past experience with severe losses from diseases, and being in the South are statistically significant. Results of the disease loss model indicate that the variables for operator experience and pond water depth are significant. De-velopment of models explaining weather and disease losses through observable variables pro-vides a better...

A Comparison Of Choice Experiments And Actual Grocery Store Behavior: An Empirical Application To Seafood Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hudson,   Darren; Gallardo,   Rosa Karina; Hanson,   Terrill R.
In this paper we compare results from an in-store field experiment and a mail survey choice experiment (CE) to investigate CE’s capacity in predicting grocery store market share. For the comparison, we used three seafood products: freshwater prawns, marine shrimp, and lobster. CE estimates were obtained via four econometric models: the conditional logit, the random parameter logit, the heteroskedastic extreme value, and the multinomial probit. We found that the level of control in the grocery store experiment and the choice of econometric model influenced the capacity of CE to predict grocery store market shares.

The Impact of Catfish Imports on the U.S. Wholesale and Farm Sectors
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; Neal,   Sammy J.; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Jones,   Keithly G.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of catfish imports and tariffs on the U.S. catfish industry, with particular focus on the U.S. International Trade Commission ruling on Vietnam in 2003. Given the importance of Vietnam to the U.S. catfish market, it was assumed that catfish import prices would increase by 35 percent if the maximum tariff was imposed on catfish from Vietnam. With the tariff, domestic catfish prices at the wholesale level would increase by $0.06 per lb, and farm prices by $0.03 per lb. Processor sales would increase by 1.66 percent. Total welfare at the wholesale level would increase from $69.2 million to $71.7 million, an increase of about 3.63 percent, and processor and farm revenue would increase by 4.4 percent...

Study of Evacuation Behavior of Coastal Gulf of Mexico Residents
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bhattacharjee,   Sanjoy; Petrolia,   Daniel R.; Hanson,   Terrill R.
In this study, we investigate the link between hurricane characteristics, demographics of the Coastal Gulf of Mexico residents, including their household location, and their respective evacuation behavior. Our study is significantly different from the previously made studies on hurricane evacuation behavior in two ways. At first, the research data is collected through recording responses to a series of hypothetical situations which are quite identical to the set of information that people are used to see during the hurricane season. Secondly, this study addresses and includes response heterogeneity while analyzing sample behavior, an issue which has not been addressed in previous research on hurricane evacuation behavior in spite of its importance.

AT-HOME AND AWAY-FROM-HOME CONSUMPTION OF SEAFOOD IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,   Xumin; House,   Lisa; Sureshwaran,   Suresh; Hanson,   Terrill R.
At-home consumption of shrimp, oysters, and catfish is investigated, using data from a mail survey conducted in 2000-2001. Results indicated consumers probability and frequency of consumption decreased if consumers felt they lacked preparation knowledge, product preparation was too time consuming, or the smell was unattractive. Demographics were also significant.

Willingness to Pay for a Potential Insurance Policy: Case Study of Trout Aquaculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shaik,   Saleem; Coble,   Keith H.; Hudson,   Darren; Miller,   James C.; Hanson,   Terrill R.; Sempier,   Stephen H.
Using trout producer survey data and the contingent valuation method, we estimate willing-ness to pay for a potential insurance policy. The survey was conducted in 2005 across the United States; 268 producers completed the survey instrument, resulting in a response rate of 81 percent. Design of the contingent valuation method takes into account two coverage levels and four premium rates. Using standard willingness-to-pay techniques, we assess the premium rate that producers with varying practices and regions are willing to pay for two different cov-erage levels of insurance. In general, trout producers appear willing to pay premium rates of 2 to 11 percent for these coverage levels.

Price Volatility Spillover in Agricultural Markets: An Examination of U.S. Catfish Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Buguk,   Cumhur; Hudson,   Darren; Hanson,   Terrill R.
Price volatility spillovers in the U.S. catfish supply chain are analyzed based on monthly price data from 1980 through 2000 for catfish feed, its ingredients, and farm- and wholesale-level catfish. The exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) model was used to test univariate volatility spillovers for prices in the supply chain. Strong price volatility spillover from feeding material (corn, soybeans, menhaden) to catfish feed and farm- and wholesale-level catfish prices was detected.
