A STATIC POLICY FOR A DYNAMIC INDUSTRY: THE CALIFORNIA YOUNG ACT OF 1935
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sumner,   Daniel A.; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
An economic history of the development of California dairy policies from 1935 to 1965 is used to support the hypothesis that the incompatibility of discrete policy changes for a dynamic industry generates deadweight losses.  Combining quantitative industry data with legal and personal narratives provides evidence in support of the hypothesis.

What a Difference a Day Makes: An Estimate of Potential Gains from Trade Facilitation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
The current paper uses a series of metrics of customs and administrative procedures produced by the World Bank to estimate gravity models.  The metrics include estimates of the number of days at the border, the number signatures and the number of documents necessary for a product to cross the border of the importer and the exporter.  Simulations using the estimated elasticities show that to improve trade reductions would need to be made in the different metrics.  For the greatest benefits all trading partners would have to make the improvements.  Additionally, some products are more sensitive to the metrics than others.

Effects of Food Safety Standards on Seafood Exports to US, EU and Japan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nguyen,   Anh Van Thi; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
Estimating the panel gravity model with bilateral pair and country-by-time fixed-effects separately for each seafood product, we found that food safety regulations have differential effects across seafood products. In all three industrialized markets, shrimp is most sensitive, while fish is the least sensitive to changing food safety policies. The enforcement of the US HACCP, the EU Minimum Required Performance Level and the Japanese Food Safety Basic Law caused a loss of 90.45%, 99.47%, and 99.97% to shrimp trade in these markets, and a reduction associated with fish trade was 66.71%, 82.83%, and 89.32%.

Evaluating Teaching Methods: Is It Worth Doing Right?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nelson,   Robert G.; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
Reviewers of manuscripts on classroom experiments often ask the authors to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the method, presumably to justify substituting experiments for lectures. After reviewing the current state of evaluation methodology, we argue that such evidence may be neither sufficient nor even necessary for the purpose.

Explaining Variations in the Price of Dairy Quota: Flow Returns, Liquidity, Quota Characteristics, and Policy Risk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.; Sumner,   Daniel A.
An econometric model based on the net present value model is used to examine factors that drive the variation of California dairy quota values over a 29-year period. The results suggest the price of quota is based on expected returns, variations in quota owner liquidity, and the risk of policy default. The dominant influence on the variation of the quota price was the historical variation in monthly flow of net benefits from owning quota. This analysis confirms that the rate of return to quota rises in periods of policy uncertainty.

"It's for Teaching, not Believing": Comments on Teaching, Learning, and Problem Solving Through Economic Experiments
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nelson,   Robert G.; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
This series of papers is an excellent opportunity to reacquaint agricultural economists in the Southern region with the exciting field of experimental economics and is indeed opportune in light of the recent awarding of the Nobel Prize in Economics to Vernon Smith, considered by many to be the father of experimental economics.  Rather than try to share the limelight with the authors on their far-reaching and comprehensive topics, we plan to take this opportunity to share some of our views of the role of experimental economics in the research laboratory and classroom.

Linkages amongst Foreign Direct Investment, Trade and Trade Policy: An Economic Analysis with Applications to the Food Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
Our models show that, in OECD countries, tariffs and domestic support, which raise domestic market input prices, can have an effect on how FDI is distributed geographically. FDI may be used to “jump” tariffs.  Investors in a home country may invest in a host country to exploit the preferential tariffs, as from an RTA, which the host has with a third country.  Domestic support to agriculture, an input sector into the food sector, can encourage outward investment and discourage inward investment.  FDI and trade appear to complement one another.  Therefore, policies that open trade may increase FDI and vice versa.

Measuring Retail Service Quality in Farm Supply Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.; Hall,   Thomas; Fields,   Deacue.
Based on the Retail Service Quality Scale (RSQS), we develop a tool for mangers of local farm cooperative stores to assess which customer service groups matter to their customers. Principal component analysis (PCA) reveals three customer groups. The results of the multinomial logit model showed younger patrons and homeowners are likely to deem customer service and personal interaction as important. Customers, who consider appearance and accessibility as important, are college graduates and persons dependent on farming. Older patrons and wildlife enthusiasts are likely to view the policies and reliability as important factors of service quality.

POLICY RISK: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF A MARKET FOR A GOVERNMENT-CREATED ASSET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sumner,   Daniel A.; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
This paper investigates the California dairy quota.  The quota rate of return has been relatively high.  The variability of returns is high relative to government bonds but not relative to the S&amp;P500.  Most of the returns are from monthly dividends, but most of the variability is from the capital gains.

Supply Response of Crops in the Southeast
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smith,   Rachel K.; Duffy,   Patricia A.; Novak,   James L.; Wilson,   Norbert L.W.
An econometric model was used to estimate the supply response of corn, cotton, and soybeans in the Southeast United States.  The analysis includes state-level data from 1991-2005 for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, taking into account the effect of wealth, revenue risk, and farm program provisions.  Estimated elasticities were low and many parameters were not statistically significant.
