Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Goulding, Ian C; Megapesca Lda, Portugal; ian@megapesca.com; Stobberup, Kim A; Megapesca Lda, Portugal; megapesca@mail.telepac.pt.
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) mandates that European Union (EU) member states achieve Good Environmental Status (GEnS) based on an ecosystem-based approach to management. For commercial fisheries, the primary target under the MSFD is one of maximum sustainable yield. Of Black Sea riparian nations, only Romania and Bulgaria are EU member states. Focusing at the supranational level, we review institutions and instruments relevant to management of the Black Sea. The economic values of current fish catches are assessed, and the results of a recent analytical assessment of fish stocks are used to estimate potential future values based on maximum sustainable yields. In the Black Sea region, despite long-standing attempts to improve fisheries...

Can Offshore Wind Energy Be a Lever for Job Creation in France? Some Insights from a Local Case Study
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Kahouli, Sondes; Martin, Jean Christophe.
The French government has launched three separate calls for tender in July 2011, March 2013, and December 2016 to install 3.5 GW of offshore wind. In addition to contributing to the fulfillment of environmental commitments, the deployment of offshore wind energy is expected to be a lever for economic development. To assess gross economic impacts, mainly in terms of job creation, we built a regional input-output model of the wind farm off Saint-Brieuc located in the region of Brittany, north-western France. Our model indicates that the project will have positive effects on Brittany’s economy. In particular, during the investment phase, the wind farm is expected to lead to €0.38 M/year/MW of added value and 6.03 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs/year/MW....

THE IMPACT OF THE YOUNG-OLD AND THE OLD-OLD ON A SMALL RURAL REGION: AN APPLICATION OF THE WISCONSIN ECONOMIC IMPACT MODELING SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stallmann,   Judith I.; Deller,   Steven C.; Shields,   Martin.
The literature on the economic and fiscal impacts of in-migrating retirees on rural communities concentrates on the young, newly-retired.  An issue not systematically addressed are the impacts on the communities as these retirees age.  The Wisconsin Economic Impact Modeling System, a county level conjoined input-output/econometrics simulation model, is used to assess the impact of an aging rural population.  Using data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, profiles of two household types are constructed and used to simulate the economic impact of an additional 500 elderly households into a small rural economy.  Household types vary by age and, as a result, have different income levels and expenditure patterns.  As...

PREDICTED FUTURE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF LEAFY SPURGE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry; Leitch,   Jay A.
The Leafy Spurge Biological Control program was designed to use insects and plant diseases from the plant's original European habitat to control infestations in the United States.  The widespread adoption of biological agents to combat leafy spurge and the initial success in reclaiming previously infested land has prompted an evaluation of the potential future economic benefits of the biological control of leafy spurge in the Upper Midwest.  Based on expert opinion and historical data, leafy spurge in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming was projected to infest 1.85 million acres, of which, 65 percent was estimated to controlled with biological agents by 2025.  Based on a survey of county weed board personnel, North Dakota and Wyoming are...

The Economic Value of Irrigation in the Texas Panhandle
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Guerrero,   Bridget L.; Wright,   Andrew P.; Hudson,   Darren; Johnson,   Jeffrey W.; Amosson,   Stephen H.
The Texas Panhandle relies largely on the Ogallala Aquifer for access to water for irrigated agricultural production.  With current pumping rates and slow recharge rates, the aquifer will at some point in the future no longer be an economically viable source of water for agriculture.  The objective of this study is to estimate the value of irrigated agriculture to the region.  A hypothetical policy restriction is imposed which assumes a one hundred percent conversion to dryland agriculture.  The study estimates the economic impact of such a change on producer income and the resulting socioeconomic impacts on communities in the region.

CORPOICA and IFPRI implemented a research project in Ventaquemada, Colombia. The project’s goal was to asses the benefits of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices and the potential of Genetically Modified insect resistant (Bt) potatoes to manage damage caused by the Guatemalan Tuber Moth (Tecia solanivora Povolny). The Guatemalan Tuber Moth is particularly destructive because field spraying on the adult stage is ineffective and there exists damage specificity to the tubers. Excessive pesticide sprays have resulted in resistance to several insecticides. Insect resistant (Bt) potatoes has been shown an effective means to control other members of the Tuber Moth complex. Thus a Bt potato may play a role in managing Tecia in Colombia. This is an ex ante...

Assessing the Consequences of Natural Disasters on Production Networks: A Disaggregated Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Henriet,   Fanny; Hallegatte,   Stephane.
This article proposes a framework to investigate the consequences of natural disasters. This framework is based on the disaggregation of Input-Output tables at the business level, through the representation of the regional economy as a network of production units. This framework accounts for (i) limits in business production capacity; (ii) forward propagations through input shortages; and (iii) backward propagations through decreases in demand. Adaptive behaviors are included, with the possibility for businesses to replace failed suppliers, entailing changes in the network structure. This framework suggests that disaster costs depend on the heterogeneity of losses and on the structure of the affected economic network. The model reproduces economic...

THE USE OF COST-TRANSFER ANALYSIS TO ESTIMATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF A POTENTIAL ZEBRA MUSSEL INFESTATION IN FLORIDA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rossi,   Frederick J.; Adams,   Damian C.; Lee,   Donna J.
Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) colonization of the eastern United States has resulted in expenditures of tens of millions of dollars spent by consumptive surface water users, in order to mitigate infrastructure impairment caused by this invasive species.  Analogous to benefit-transfer analysis, a "cost-transfer" approach will be used to obtain general estimates of potential mitigation costs of zebra mussels in an area (Florida) that this invasive species has yet to establish itself.  The goal of this research is to provide initial information about this issue to parties interested in, and/or charged with, invasive species management in the state of Florida.

ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE FAIR ACT ON U.S. PEANUT PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Changping; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
This study analyzed the potential economic impacts of the FAIR  Act under GATT and NAFTA on the U.S. peanut industry.  Results indicate that the economic impacts of the new program combined with the trade agreements are profound on the peanut industry in both short and long terms.  Changes of the peanut program could decrease peanut producers' farm income substantially, eliminate government financial costs related to excessive quotas, and transfer peanut growers' program benefits back to peanut consumers.  Increasing imports of foreign peanuts due to free/reduced trade barrier agreements would transfer peanut producers' program benefits to domestic peanut importers and foreign exporters who sell peanuts to the U.S.  Note: Tables 3 and 4 not included in...

CASINOS IN THE UPPER MIDWEST: A DISCUSSION OF THE IMPACTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
The recent expansion and proliferation of legalized casino gaming has spurred debate at all levels of government.  As a result, a number of studies have attempted to quantify many of the economic, social, and fiscal impacts of legalized casino gaming.  This study reviewed existing literature on the effects of casino gaming in the Upper Midwest and discussed some of the issues associated with casino activities. The impacts of casino gaming have generally been evaluated at either the local and/or state or regional level.  Positive economic impacts have been quantified more often than negative economic impacts.  Few studies have attempted to quantify the social costs of casino gaming. The economic impacts of casino activities on local economies have generally...

Economic Impacts of Regional Approaches to Rural Development: Initial Evidence on the Delta Regional Authority
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pender,   John L.; Reeder,   Richard J.
This study assesses the initial economic outcomes of the Delta Regional Authority (DRA), which began funding rural development projects in the Mississippi Delta region in 2002. The study focuses on non-metropolitan DRA counties and similar counties elsewhere in the Mississippi Delta region and the southeast, using a quasi-experimental approach that combines matching methods, double and triple difference and switching regression estimation. We find that per capita income and transfer payments grew more rapidly in DRA counties than similar non-DRA counties, and that these impacts are larger in counties in which DRA spending was larger. Each additional dollar of DRA spending per capita is associated with an increase of $15 in personal income per capita...

Tourism has become an important economic sector in many parts of the world, and many regions, states, and local areas are increasingly looking to expenditures by visitors as a potential source of economic growth.  Some communities have developed facilities to host sports events or other forms of entertainment to attract out-of-town visitors.  Thus, the multi-purpose sports arena/auditorium has joined the industrial park as a community economic development initiative.  This paper estimates the economic contribution of a multi-purpose sports and auditorium facility located in Fargo, North Dakota.

Autores: Holmes,   Thomas P.; Murphy,   Elizabeth A.; Bell,   Kathleen P.
This paper presents a case study of the economic damages to homeowners in a northern New Jersey community due to an exotic forest insect--the hemlock woolly adelgid. Hedonic property value methods are used to estimate the effect of hemlock health on property values. A statistically significant relationship between hemlock health and residential property values is established. Moreover, there are some signs of spillover impacts from hemlock decline, as negative effects are realized on the parcels where the declining hemlock stands are located as well as on neighboring properties. These results give some indication of the benefits of potential control programs and strategies and also show support for community- or neighborhood-based programs in residential...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smale,   Melinda; Zambrano,   Patricia; Falck-Zepeda,   Jose Benjamin; Gruere,   Guillaume P.
A vast literature has accumulated since crop varieties with transgenic resistance to insects and herbicide tolerance were released to farmers in 1996 and 1997. A comparatively minor segment of this literature consists of studies conducted by agricultural economists to measure the farm-level impact of transgenic crop varieties, the size and distribution of the economic benefits from adopting them, consumer attitudes toward GE products, and implications for international trade. This paper focuses only on the applied economics literature about the impact of transgenic crop varieties in non-industrialized agricultural systems, with an emphasis on methods. A number of studies have surveyed the findings for both industrialized and non-industrialized agriculture,...

The Economic Impacts of Avian Influenza on World Poultry Trade and the U.S. Poultry Industry: A Spatial Equilibrium Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Djunaidi,   Harjanto; Djunaidi,   Andrew C.M.
Simulation results showed that simultaneous outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Asia, the United States, Brazil, and selected European countries will have significant impacts on world poultry trade. Assuming demand for chicken meat is constant, the global export price is simulated to increase by 9.63%. HPAI outbreaks in the United States, Economic Union, and Brazil will have a greater impact on export price than in any other possible three-region case. Outbreaks in the United States and Brazil would still lead to major impacts on world poultry trade, confirming large country effects.

The CLUES model is an integrated catchment based model that designed to assist policy makers in understanding the implications of land use scenarios for water quality and a range of other indicators. CLUES integrates a number of existing models from several research providers, including SPARROW (catchment hydrology), OVERSEER and SPASMO (nutrient losses), ENSUS (nitrate leaching risk), and a socioeconomic model. These are combined in a GIS framework which allows scenarios of land use to be assessed in a spatial manner. Regional council staff have been trained in its use, and the model is under ongoing development in response to feedback from users. This paper discusses the overall framework of the CLUES model, and discusses in greater depth the...

Autores: Huang,   Jikun; Hu,   Ruifa; van Meijl,   Hans; van Tongeren,   Frank W.
China has made a major investment in biotechnology research.  Genetically modified (GM) cotton is widely adopted and the list of GM technologies in trials is impressive.  At the same time there is an active debate on when China should commercialize its GM food crops.  The overall goal of this paper is to provide an economy-wide assessment of these issues under various scenarios.  Based on a unique data from empirical micro-level study and field trial in China and a modified GTAP model, our results indicate that the development of biotechnology has an important impact on China's production, trade and welfare.  Welfare gains far outweigh the public biotechnology research expenditures.  Most gains occur inside China.  Policy makers should put less weight on...

The Leafy Spurge Biological Control program was designed to use insects and plant diseases from the plant's original European habitat to control infestations in the United States.  The widespread adoption of biological agents to combat leafy spurge and the initial success in reclaiming previously infested land has prompted an evaluation of the potential future economic benefits of the biological control of leafy spurge in the Upper Midwest.  Based on expert opinion and historical data, leafy spurge in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming was projected to infest 1.85 million acres, of which, 65 percent was estimated to controlled with biological agents by 2025.  Based on a survey of county weed board personnel, North Dakota and Wyoming are...

Autores: Souza Neto,José de; Conner,James R.; Stuth,Jerry W.
PHYGROW, a hydrologic-based forage simulation model, was parameterized to represent a typical South Texas ranch engaged in the production of cattle and meat goats with an indigenous population of white-tailed deer. Forage production and associated stocking rates for two cattle:goat ratios were simulated with POPMIX for 20 years. Two ten-year weather scenarios, one representing normal conditions (30% drought years) and one representing dryer weather conditions (50% drought years) were analyzed. Management decision rules (ASPC) were developed for the region to produce estimates of annual animal production and operating costs for the enterprises on each of the four scenarios. These performance and cost data were then used as input into FLIPSIM, a firm level...
