LAND LEASING AND DEBT ON FARMS: SUBSTITUTES OR COMPLEMENTS? AgEcon
Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Bierlen, Ralph W.; Langemeier, Larry N.; Dixon, Bruce L..
Theoretically, leasing and debt are thought to be substitutes. This assumes that a lease payment, which is a fixed obligation like a loan, displaces debt and reduces debt capacity, i.e., if firms have optimal debt to equity ratios, then, to the extent that it represents "off-balance-sheet" financing, leasing reduces debt capacity. Ang and Peterson-the seminal work in the literature-fit Tobit models with 1976 to 1981 data from 600 firms in which a leasing to book value of equity ratio is the dependent variable and a debt to book value of equity ratio and other variables are the explanatory variables. Contrary to expectations, their model results indicate that leasing and debt are complementary activities. This study follows the Ang and Peterson...

THE 1996 FAIR ACT: MEASURING THE IMPACTS ON LAND LEASING AgEcon
Parsch, Lucas D.; Bierlen, Ralph W.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Dixon, Bruce L..
Major innovations of the 1996 FAIR Act are PFC payments and almost complete planting flexibility. Because payments are attached to the land and not production, landlords are thought to capture most of the PFC payments. With the use of a November 1997 operator survey of cropland leasing arrangements in the Mississippi Delta of Arkansas, the current study investigates changes in crop mixes on leased land, operator attitudes concerning the operator/landlord sharing of FAIR Act benefits, and changes in leasing arrangements as a results of the FAIR Act. Although a number of operators agree that landlords disproportionately benefit from the FAIR Act, about three-quarters felt that there was not change or had no opinion. Similarly, we find little evidence...

Arkansas Landlord Selection of Land-Leasing Contract Type and Terms AgEcon
Rainey, Ronald L.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Parsch, Lucas D.; Bierlen, Ralph W..
Land leasing is a major source of the land input to production agriculture. Responses from a survey of landlords leasing crop land in Arkansas are analyzed to better understand those factors motivating landlords in the type of lease they select and the terms of those leases. Probit models are estimated to determine the relative importance of variables representing credit constraint, agency problem, and risk aversion factors. Regression models then estimate the impact of site, landlord, and tenant characteristics on contract terms – the percentage of crop and cost sharing arrangements between landlord and tenant. Probit results suggest credit constraint factors influence lease-type selection. Risk aversion, managerial ability, and social capital factors are...

ESTIMATING CORN YIELD RESPONSE MODELS TO PREDICT IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AgEcon
Dixon, Bruce L.; Hollinger, Steven E.; Garcia, Philip; Tirupattur, Viswanath.
Projections of the impacts of climate change on agriculture require flexible and accurate yield response models. Typically, estimated yield response models have used fixed calendar intervals to measure weather variables and omitted observations on solar radiation, an essential determinant of crop yield. A corn yield response model for Illinois crop reporting districts is estimated using field data. Weather variables are time to crop growth stages to allow use of the model if climate change shifts dates of the crop growing season. Solar radiation is included. Results show this model is superior to conventionally specified models in explaining yield variation in Illinois corn.

A MONTE CARLO COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATORS OF AUTOCORRELATED SIMULTANEOUS SYSTEMS USING A U.S. PORK SECTOR MODEL AS THE TRUE STRUCTURE AgEcon
Naik, Gopal; Dixon, Bruce L..
Monte Carlo analysis of the performance of alternative estimators of simultaneous system's coefficients in the presence of autocorrelation is performed. The "true" underlying model is an estimated, three-equation, monthly model of the U.S. pork market. Estimators for ex post forecasts are also compared. Multicollinearity is found to be a salient characteristic likely adversely affecting estimator performance. Results show that correcting for autocorrelation is desirable when levels of autocorrelation are high for both parameter accuracy and ex post forecasting. However, the best structural coefficient estimator for high levels of autocorrelation is not necessarily the best estimator for ex post forecasting.

IMPACTS OF INCREASED CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON THE PROFITABILITY OF MIDWEST AGRICULTURE AgEcon
Dixon, Bruce L.; Segerson, Kathleen.
Approximate profit functions are estimated using time-series, cross-sectional, county level data for 12 midwest states. Measures of climate variability are included in the profit functions. Simulated impacts of climate changes on profits are derived. Results show that inclusion of measures of climate variation are important for measuring the impact of changes in mean temperature and precipitation levels. Failure to account for the impact of differences in variability leads to an overestimate of damages. If global warming increases diurnal variation, such increases would have negative impacts on the profitability of midwest agriculture.

CONTRACT CHOICE SELECTION WITH LAND-LEASING AGREEMENTS AgEcon
Rainey, Ronald L.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Parsch, Lucas D.; Bierlen, Ralph W..
This study tests cropland contract hypotheses utilizing a landlord data set. Ordered probit and classical regression models are estimated and presented identifying factors that affect the contract type selection and terms. Results suggest credit constraints are a viable land-leasing hypothesis. Risk aversion, managerial ability, and social capital are also supported.

ESTIMATING PRINCIPAL OUTSTANDING MODELS FOR FARM SERVICE AGENCY GUARANTEED LOANS AgEcon
Settlage, Latisha A.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Koenig, Steven R..
Financial, farm economy and bank factors are hypothesized to explain variation in FSA guaranteed loan principal outstanding. Regression models using state-level data (1990-1998) are estimated. Debt-to-asset ratios, percentage of agricultural revenues due to crops, interest rates, and off-farm income are significant variables for both farm ownership and operating loan principal.

THE EFFECTS OF BANK MERGERS ON COMMERCIAL BANK AGRICULTURAL LENDING AgEcon
Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Luo, Bing.
Regression analysis is used to estimate static and dynamic restructuring, direct and external effects of mergers from 1994 to 2001 on bank agricultural loan-to-asset ratios. Results indicate that mergers have a negative effect on agricultural loan ratios. The effect is less pronounced for smaller than larger bank mergers and more pronounced for mergers of banks affiliated with the same holding company than other merger types.

Landlord Satisfaction with Arkansas Agricultural Land Agreements AgEcon
Rainey, Ronald L.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Parsch, Lucas D.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Bierlen, Ralph W..
Landlord satisfaction levels with agricultural land-leasing agreements are examined with a 1998 sample of Arkansas landowners. Ordered probit models are estimated identifying which factors significantly affect satisfaction levels. Results indicate that the type of lease is not a significant determinant of landlord satisfaction levels. Proportion of landlord’s income from leasing, tenant educational background, social capital variables, presence of irrigation equipment, and perceptions about the FAIR Act were found to significantly affect lease satisfaction in at least one of the three satisfaction models estimated. A comparison with an earlier study of Arkansas tenants indicates landlords have generally higher satisfaction levels.

IMPACTS OF FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THE BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE FARM INVENTORY-CASH FLOW RELATIONSHIP AgEcon
Bierlen, Ralph W.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Dixon, Bruce L..
The sensitivity of farm inventory investment to movements in cash flow is tested. Inventories should be sensitive to shifts in cash flow because inventory investment is readily reversible and inventories are a significant portion of assets. Investment models estimated with Kansas farm panel data indicate that: (a) farms absorb internal finance shocks by adjusting inventories, (b) the inventory investment of livestock and high-debt farms are more sensitive to movements in cash flow than crop and low-debt farms, and (c) inventory investment is more sensitive to cash flow during the 1981-86 bust and the 1987-92 recovery than during the 1975-80 boom.

GROWTH IN AGRICULTURAL LOAN MARKET SHARE FOR ARKANSAS COMMERCIAL BANKS AgEcon
Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Priyanti, Atien.
Changes in commercial bank market shares of farm debt are decomposed into portfolio decisions loanable funds availability and loan market size for 64 counties in Arkansas from 1986 through 1990. A seemingly unrelated regression model is hypothesized to identify county characteristics that are related to changes in commercial bank market shares. Regression results indicate that county differences in economic activity, the relative risk associated with agriculture, farm structure and regional location contributed to changes in commercial bank market shares. The results imply a market niche for rural commercial banks emphasizing agricultural loans in the presence of unlimited branch banking.

Competing Risk Proportional Hazard Models of Farm Service Agency Direct Operating Loans AgEcon
Dixon, Bruce L.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L.; Foianini, Monica; Hamm, Sandra J.; Danforth, Diana M..
The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) direct farm loan program is designed to provide credit to family-sized farms unable to obtain credit from conventional sources at reasonable rates and terms despite having sufficient cash flow to repay and an ability to fully securitize the loan. FSA policy encourages borrowers to exit the program as soon as possible. This study uses Cox proportional hazard models in a competing risks framework to identify predictive factor of: (1) loan success or default, and (2) length of time to loan termination. Survey data from 1925 direct loans originated in federal fiscal years 1994-95 are used for analysis. Only data available to FSA at time of origination were collected. Since these data are all the information FSA has at time...

Increasing Profitability of Small Scale Orchard Producers through Optimizing Replacement Rate: The Case Study of Ghana AgEcon
Mahrizal; Nalley, Lawton Lanier; Dixon, Bruce L.; Popp, Jennie S. Hughes.
This study sets out to empirically estimate the optimum annual replacement rate and age of cocoa trees in order to maximize the net present value of four common cocoa production systems. The study examines the costs and returns of four common cocoa production systems in Ghana associated with changes in cocoa prices, fertilizer prices, inflation rates, and labor prices. While this study focuses on cocoa, the methodology is applicable to any perennial crop. This study uses empirical yield curves and cost of production data from Ghana to determine when and what percentage of a cocoa orchard should be replaced annually to maximize net present value of revenues over time. Successive versions of the model are solved to determine how input and output price...

DEBT DEPRECIATION, CONGLOMERATION, AND CREDIT CONSTRAINTS: EVIDENCE FROM CATTLE CYCLES AgEcon
Bierlen, Ralph W.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Ahrendsen, Bruce L..
We search for evidence consistent with the notion that endogenous credit constraints play a role in cattle cycles. Beef cow inventories are found to be more sensitive to credit constraints during periods of falling than rising asset values. Inventories of heifer replacements exhibit only weak sensitivity to credit constraints during periods of falling asset values.

Analysis of Participation in Multifunctional Agriculture: U.S. Rice Farms AgEcon
Tur Cardona, Juan; Wailes, Eric J.; Dixon, Bruce L.; Danforth, Diana M..
Multifunctional agriculture is particularly fundamental to some working lands conservation policies and programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP), Conservation Security Program (CSP) and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP). Farmers can also be engaged in providing recreational and agri-tourism services such as hunting, fishing, bird-watching, farm tours, petting zoos and hospitality services. Using the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) we analyze factors associated with participation in conservation, recreation and agri-tourism activities as a function of farm structure, farm financial measures, production practices, and socio-demographic characteristics of the farm operator. To estimate the functional...
