Mandatory Livestock Price Reporting, Market Transparency and Grid Price Dispersion
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Mandatory livestock price reporting (MPR) was implemented in April 2001. Empirical evidence indicates a significant change in the weekly variability of publicly reported fed cattle grid premiums and discounts occurred after MPR implementation. We evaluated the effect of increased market transparency resulting from implementation of MPR on grid premium and discount dispersion lelvels. Empirical results suggest that increased trransparency is compatible with either an increase or a decrease in dispersion. These results suggest that during the pre-MPR periods, the weekly premium and discount point estimators were derived from a non-representative sample.

Effects of Land Circulation on the Development of Modern Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wu,   Zhe; Li,   Jing.
Based on the introduction of modern agriculture, relationship between land circulation and modern agriculture is discussed. This relationship is reflected mainly in two aspects. Firstly, land circulation is a necessary requirement for the development of modern agriculture, which can speed up the adjustment of agricultural structure and realize the scale management, accelerate the transfer of the rural population and improve the agricultural income, enhance the risk resisting ability of agriculture and the response of agriculture to market challenges. Secondly, development of modern agriculture must be based on land circulation. Land circulation can not only provide resource allocation basis for modern agriculture, but also offer economic benefit basis for...

Inflationary Effect of Oil-Price Shocks in an Imperfect Market: A Partial Transmission Input-output Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wu,   Libo; Li,   Jing; Zhang,   ZhongXiang.
This paper aims to examine the impacts of oil-price shocks on China’s price levels. To that end, we develop a partial transmission input-output model that captures the uniqueness of the Chinese market. We hypothesize and simulate price control, market factors and technology substitution - the three main factors that restrict the functioning of a price pass-through mechanism during oil-price shocks. Using the models of both China and the U.S., we separate the impact of price control from those of other factors leading to China’s price stickiness under oil-price shocks. The results show a sharp contrast between China and the U.S., with price control in China significantly preventing oil-price shocks from spreading into its domestic inflation, especially in...

Food Access and Food Security – An Empirical Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bonanno,   Alessandro; Li,   Jing.
This paper analyzes the effect of access to different types of food outlets on households’ food insecurity levels. Two years (2004 and 2005) of Current Population Survey – Food Security Supplement data are matched with MSA-level data on store counts of Wal-Mart Supercenters, small food stores (small grocery stores and convenience stores), medium and large grocery stores, and convenience stores associated with gas stations. Endogeneity of food stores’ location is accounted for to eliminate spurious correlation between households’ food security status and food access. Preliminary results indicate that, before accounting for endogeneity bias, the presence of Wal-Mart supercenters appears to be associated to higher levels of households’ food insecurity, while...

Insecticide Use and Crop Selection: A South Dakota Case Study
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McDonald,   Tia Michelle; Keating,   Ariel Ruth; Fausti,   Scott W.; Li,   Jing; Lundgren,   Jonathan G.; Catangui,   Mike.
South Dakota has recently experienced a significant increase in the proportion of acres treated with insecticide. Unfortunately, data on insecticide usage by crop at the county level is not available. The following case study seeks to uncover the reasons for this increase by analyzing county-level data in South Dakota with a fixed effects panel regression. The study links the proportion of acres planted for a specific crop to the proportion of total acres treated with insecticide. This approach provides insight on how changing cropping patterns in South Dakota have influenced insecticide use.

Crop Choice, Non-Target Pest Levels, Yield Loss and Their Effect on Insecticide Use in South Dakota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McDonald,   Tia Michelle; Keating,   Ariel Ruth; Fausti,   Scott W.; Li,   Jing; Lundgren,   Jonathan G.
Agriculturally, South Dakota is a unique state possessing the highest rate of adoption for genetically modified crop varieties.  In 2009 ninety-six percent of corn acres planted in South Dakota were genetically modified compared with eighty-five percent nationally (Economic Research Service).  Additionally, South Dakota has seen a dramatic increase in the number of acres treated with insecticide over the past 20 years.  These two situations taken together seem to be counterintuitive.  Some genetically modified varieties, such as Bt corn, are equipped with genetic defenses so that they can protect the plant from target pests.  Intuitively, one would expect to see a decrease in insecticide use as adoption of genetically modified varieties increase.  Recent...

Grid Pricing: An Empirical Investigation of Market Signal Clarity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing.
The ability of the grid marketing system for fed cattle to provide an efficient price transmission mechanism is investigated.  Nerlove’s (1958) adaptive expectations approach is adopted to model the relationship between grid premiums (discounts) and the weekly relative supply of carcass quality attributes. Linear regression techniques are used to estimate Nerlove’s supply response function. Granger Causality tests are conducted to investigate the relationship between grid premiums (discounts) and the relative supply of carcass quality attributes.  Regression estimates and the Granger Causality tests provide empirical support for the 2005 National Beef Quality Audit call for clearer market signals.

Plights and Countermeasures for the Development of Rural Labor Broker—Based on the Investigation of Rural Labor Brokers in Chongqing Munitipality
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hu,   Tongze; Li,   Na; Li,   Jing.
Based on the investigation into the rural labor brokers in Chongqing Municipality, the developmental momentum of rural labor brokers in Chongqing Municipality is introduced. The valid questionnaires show that the main factors which limit the development of rural labor brokers in Chongqing Municipality are the scant effective information, low quality, insufficient education and training, absent of specialized policies and regulations, low degree of organization, and low social recognition.  The requirements for the healthy development of rural labor brokers are concluded, which include healthy policies and regulations, healthy social culture and the external support from the government. Besides, the rural labor brokers should have high competence, high...

The Effect of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act on Market Transparency and Grid Price Dispersion
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing; Diersen,   Matthew A.
The Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act (MPR) of 1999 was implemented in April 2001. Empirical evidence indicates a significant change in intra-week price dispersion associated with publicly reported fed cattle grid premiums and discounts occurring after MPR implementation.      The research objective is to evaluate the effect of increased market transparency resulting from implementation of MPR, on grid intra-week premium and discount dispersion levels. Empirical results suggest that increased transparency is compatible with intra-week dispersion levels increasing. Increased dispersion suggests that during the pre-MPR period weekly premium and discount data may have been drawn from a non-representative sample. From the empirical evidence, it is concluded...

Carcass Quality Volume and Grid Pricing: An Investigation of Cause and Effect
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing.
The relationship between publically reported weekly grid premiums and discounts for specific carcass characteristics and the percentage of those characteristics reflected in total weekly slaughter volume (i.e., proportional slaughter volume) is investigated.  Granger Causality and multi-lag VAR models were used to investigate if grid premiums and discounts were efficiently transmitting market signals to producers with respect to carcass quality attributes.  The empirical evidence indicates that there is little evidence to suggest that grid prices are providing efficient price signals to buyers and sellers with respect to market valuation of desirable and undesirable beef carcass characteristics.

The Affect of Animal Gender on Fed Cattle Producer Marketing Behavior
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Diersen,   Matthew A.; Li,   Jing; Lange,   Brent.
Weekly grid market share by volume for slaughter steers is compared to slaughter heifers. Summary statistics indicate average grid market share for steers (42%) is 27% higher than slaughter heifers (33%). The literature indicates that pregnancy and increased dark cutter incidence associated with heifers relative to steers creates additional financial risk when heifers are sold on a grid. Econometric analysis suggests grid market share is less sensitive to change in market conditions for heifers relative to steers. The empirical evidence is consistent with the supposition that marketing heifers is riskier than marketing steers on a grid. Thus sellers need stronger economic incentives to market heifers on a grid relative to steers.
