FARM PROGRAMS AND AGRICULTURAL LAND VALUES: THE CASE OF SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE AgEcon
Shaik, Saleem; Helmers, Glenn A.; Atwood, Joseph A..
Relative estimates of the proportion of agricultural land values generated by farm program payments and farm returns in the southern region are examined, using state-level data for the period 1940 to 2004. Results indicate the contribution of farm program payments to agricultural land values in the southern region has increased during the last three farm bill periods to 65 percent, compared to 22 percent in the other regions.

DETERMINING FIRM-SPECIFIC VALUES FOR RISKY INVESTMENTS AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A..
This article demonstrates that the usefulness of time-state contingent investment evaluation models need not be constrained by limited time-state contingent markets. Dual solutions to stochastic programs can be used to obtain firm-specific values for risky investments while allowing linear dependence between initial values and later time-state contingent income-technical coefficients. The model could be useful when the exogenous a priori determination of appropriate (and project-specific) risk-adjusted discount rates and/or certainty equivalents is difficult or when the cash equivalents of noncash investment effects are difficult to estimate.

FARM AND NONFARM FACTORS INFLUENCING FARM SIZE AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A.; Helmers, Glenn A.; Shaik, Saleem.
The impact of the price of capital, nonfarm employment opportunities, and returns in agriculture on farm size was analyzed. A 10 region panel model using data for 1950-2000 was used. The impact of agricultural government payments was also examined. The results demonstrated the capital-labor substitution phenomenon and the importance of nonfarm employment changes.

A STATISTICAL EXAMINATION OF YIELD SWITCHING FRAUD IN THE FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE PROGRAM AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A.; Robinson-Cox, Jim; Shaik, Saleem.
An over-parameterized statistical yield-switching-fraud model is developed. Over-parameterized procedures are reviewed. Five percent of 206,952 producers (thirteen percent in one state) have suspicious yield patterns, elect higher coverage, and increase total multiple-unit indemnifications up to ten percent in some states and up to 30 percent at some coverage levels.

Did 1933 New Deal Legislation Contribute to Farm Real Estate: Temporal and Spatial Analysis AgEcon
Shaik, Saleem; Atwood, Joseph A.; Helmers, Glenn A..
The proportions of land values generated by farm program payments and farm returns are examined using an extended income capitalization model. The extended income capitalization model addresses the identification issue introduced by the counter-cyclical nature of farm program payments and farm returns. Procedures are presented that allow the estimation of agriculture land value shares without requiring explicit knowledge or assumptions with respect to the net land rental shares of farm returns or farm program payments. Results from the panel recursive or triangular-structure simultaneous equation model applied to 48 states in the U.S. for the period 1938 to 2006 indicate on average 41-45.6 percent and 54.4-59 percent of the agricultural land values can be...

PERFORMANCE OF RISK-INCOME MODELS OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL DATA SET AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A.; Held, Larry J.; Helmers, Glenn A.; Watts, Myles J..
Selected risk programming solutions (i.e., profit maximization, Target-MOTAD, and MOTAD) are tested in an economic environment outside the data set from which they were developed. Specifically, solutions are derived from either a longer 10-year (1965-74) or shorter 6-year estimation period (1969-74), and then, they are tested for consistent risk-income characteristics over a later 10-year period (1975-84). Risk solutions estimated from earlier periods perform well in the later test period in spite of different economic conditions between time periods. However, favorable performance may be related to the specific example used in this analysis. Further testing for other farm situations is needed before general conclusions can be reached.

Distributional Impacts of Country-of-Origin Labeling in the U.S. Meat Industry AgEcon
Brester, Gary W.; Marsh, John M.; Atwood, Joseph A..
Concerns about the negative effects of U.S. meat and livestock imports on domestic livestock prices have increased interest in country-of origin labeling (COOL) legislation. An equilibrium displacement model is used to estimate short-run and long-run changes in equilibrium prices and quantities of meat and livestock in the beef, pork, and poultry sectors resulting from the implementation of COOL. Retail beef and pork demand would have to experience a one-time, permanent increase of 4.05% and 4.45%, respectively, so that feeder cattle and hog producers do not lose producer surplus over a 10-year period.

RISK ANALYSIS OF CROPPING SYSTEMS USING EXPERIMENTAL CROPPING SYSTEM-FERTILIZER DATA AgEcon
Helmers, Glenn A.; Dias, Weeratilake; Langemeier, Michael R.; Atwood, Joseph A..
Using 11 years of experimental crop yields by cropping systems and fertilizer level, a MOTAD frontier was developed. This analysis allowed yield, cost, and stability interactions arising from crop sequences to be implicitly included. Target-MOTAD, Safety-First, and undominated stochastic efficient systems were also compared.

OPTIONAL UNIT POLICY IN CROP INSURANCE AgEcon
Shaik, Saleem; Atwood, Joseph A..
Utilizing ordered logit we examine the presence of two kinds of asymmetric information-adverse selection (intertemporal variability) and moral hazard (interspatial and/or residual variability) as revealed by the choice of optional units in Federal crop insurance utilizing Risk Management Agency's 1996-2000 cotton yield and loss data files. Further, a tobit model is estimated to examine the factors explaining the loss cost ratio from Risk Management Agency perspective. Potential costs of adverse selection and/or moral hazard in optional unit provision are estimated to be as high as $180 million in US cotton over the 1996-2000 period. Keywords: Adverse Selection, Moral Hazard, Optional Unit Policy, Crop Insurance, U.S. Cotton, Logit and Tobit models.

INCORPORATING SAFETY-FIRST CONSTRAINTS IN LINEAR PROGRAMMING PRODUCTION MODELS AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A.; Watts, Myles J.; Helmers, Glenn A.; Held, Larry J..
A recent survey indicated that many procedures view risk in a safety-first context. Traditional methods used to impose safety-first constraints in optimization models have often been difficult to implement. This is particularly true when endogenous decisions affect the distribution of the chance-constrained random variable. This paper presents a method whereby probabilistic constraints can be easily imposed upon finitely discrete random variables. The procedure uses a linear version of the lower partial moment stochastic inequality. The resulting solutions are somewhat conservative but are less so than the results using the previously published mean income-absolute deviation stochastic inequality.

Demand for Optional Units in Crop Insurance AgEcon
Shaik, Saleem; Atwood, Joseph A..
This article demonstrates the importance of temporal-spatial yield, acreage and price risk apart from price in addressing the importance of optional unit provision in Federal crop insurance program. Specifically, based on 1998 U.S. cotton producers data, the demand for optional versus basic unit is examined using binomial logit model.

SOCIAL AND SCALE EFFICIENCY GAINS DUE TO VERTICAL INTEGRATION IN THE U.S. HOG SECTOR AgEcon
Helmers, Glenn A.; Shaik, Saleem; Atwood, Joseph A..
Using a non-parametric linear programming approach, our contribution is (1) to examine if efficiency gains in hog production are realized due to vertical integration and (2) to demonstrate the efficiency gains that are realized are a product of economies of scope and scale. The model uses U.S. hog sector data for the period, 1982-1997. Results indicate efficiency gains are realized due to vertical integration and can be explained by scope and scale efficiency gains. The t-test at the 5% level of significance indicates the mean overall efficiency gains; scope efficiency gains and scale efficiency gains are significantly different from one.

FARM PROGRAM PAYMENTS AND FARM SIZE AgEcon
Atwood, Joseph A.; Helmers, Glenn A.; Shaik, Saleem.
A simultaneously determined model for farm size and government payments along with the incorporation of a recursive impact of government payments and agricultural returns was used to examine farm size changes nationally and regionally. The results clearly demonstrated resource substitution influences, differences in the nonfarm economy, and agricultural returns in explaining farm size.

AN APPLICATION OF SAFETY-FIRST PROBABILITY LIMITS IN A DISCRETE STOCHASTIC FARM MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMING MODEL AgEcon
Hatch, L. Upton; Atwood, Joseph A.; Segar, James.
A sequential decision-making model was developed, and data from farm-raised catfish production were used to demonstrate its use. Outcomes of sequences of decisions which satisfied chance constraints on ending cash balances were traced through a specified time period. Discrete choice variables were specified due to the fixed nature of pond facilities. Recourse actions specified were sale of production in excess of endogenously determined transfer levels or purchase of inputs to supplement needs of the next production stage. Production activities cannot be changed during the planning period. Only yield variability was considered due to its impact on relative competitiveness among growth stages. Deviations were calculated from endogenously determined target...
