| Essentially all empirical questions that are addressed with sample data require estimates of sampling variance. The econometrics and statistics literatures show that these estimates depend critically on the design of the sample. The sample for the U.S. Current Population Survey (CPS), which serves as the basis for official poverty, unemployment, and earnings estimates, results from a stratified and clustered design. Unfortunately, analysts are frequently unable to estimate sampling variance for many CPS statistics because the variables marking the strata and clusters are censored from the public-use data files. To compensate for this, the Bureau of Census provides a method to approximate the sampling variance for several, specific point estimates, but no... |

| Poorer performing paddocks have plagued farmers often because paddocks tend to be treated as homogeneous when most are heterogeneous in the response to our current systems. The treatment of these paddocks requires that knowledge of where yield and quality differences are occurring. Differences in yield and quality necessitate a response action to occur to ensure that the management of these paddocks change. The purpose of zone management is to optimise the yield and quality of produce from the inputs applied to achieve high output/input ratios across the zones within the paddocks. The identification of performance differences in paddocks ensures that more efficient zone management practices can be applied to the paddock increasing the chances to profit.... |

| Economists usually assume that the private ethical system of individuals is Utilitarian. However, one finds a much broader range of ethical positions in the environmental ethics literature. Moreover, environmental policy debates seem to elicit alternative ethical systems. It would therefore seem prudent to increase our understanding of the role played by alternative environmental ethical systems. In this study we follow some descriptive ethical studies in examining the empirical ethical position of people based on a broad cross section of the American public. We review some taxonomic literature in environmental ethics and develop a conceptual model of the formation of environmental values. We then use canonical correlation to investigate the existence of... |

| Este artigo trata do tema das Indicações Geográficas, as quais se constituem numa das formas especiais de proteção aos produtos, que visam, principalmente, destacar seus aspectos distintivos, através da identificação e uso dos fatores naturais e humanos. A temática da indicação geográfica é uma área do direito de propriedade intelectual bastante discutida e aplicada em regiões da Europa e dos Estados Unidos, mais ainda pouco difundida no Brasil. Neste país existem quatro Indicações Geográficas na modalidade de Indicação de Procedência, envolvendo os vinhos fino da região do Vale dos Vinhedos – RS, o café do Cerrado de Minas Gerais, a carne do Pampa Gaúcho e a Cachaça de Paraty no Rio de Janeiro. O primeiro registro de Indicação Geográfica, na categoria de... |

| Some sectors of Australian and New Zealand farming have been heavily assisted in the past. New Zealand underwent an economy-wide deregulation in the mid-to-late 980s that included abrupt removal of practically all agricultural assistance. Policy reform in Australia has been more gradual and is industry focused, but in some cases substantial industry assistance has been withdrawn. Deregulation of the Australian dairy industry, and that of the sheep and beef sector in New Zealand, are discussed as case studies of these deregulations. Conclusions are drawn from these experiences, a major one being that previously-assisted farmers can successfully make the transition to market-driven agriculture. |
