Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/49372 Tractors on eBay and Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin: An Analysis on the Determinants of Price and Price Differences AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mykerezi, Elton; Holland, Liz. We investigate the determinants of price for tractor auctions on eBay and tractors that are listed in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin (FCMB) in Georgia. Surprisingly, seller reputation is not an important factor while engine hours and the presence of air conditioning appear to influence price on eBay auctions. On average prices for tractors that sold on eBay are not different than those on FCMB. The analysis also suggests that farmers may benefit from the use of online venues.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/103938 Viability of Organic Production in Rural Counties: County and State-Level Evidence from the United States AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mykerezi, Elton; Tanellari, Eftila. We investigate the determinants of organic farming in the United States. State-level data show that the organic farming sector has grown over the last decade, but growth has been very heterogeneous with few states accounting for most of the growth. Further analyses of county data reveal that favorable natural amenities, water for irrigation, and government payments have a positive effect on most measures of organic farming used here. Results further point out that organic farming operations are more popular among young farmers. Adjacency to metro areas is also an important determinant for the number of organic operations. Organic farming is more important for the agricultural sector of the areas that are somewhat remote but that does not appear to be the...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/113539 Valuing Intellectual Property Rights in an Imperfectly Competitive Market: A Biopharming Application AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mills, Bradford F.. Small research firms developing biotechnology applications often focus on establishing intellectual property rights (IPRs), which can then be sold to more established firms with existing market channels. This paper presents a method for valuing the IPRs for an innovation that lowers product production costs below those associated with the patented process of a monopolist. The application to Glucocerebrosidase enzyme from transgenic tobacco suggests an IPRs value of about $1.75 billion. Despite the innovator’s market power, significant surplus gains also accrue to consumers. Further, U.S. antitrust laws that prohibit IPRs acquisition by the current monopolist increase consumer welfare by almost 50%.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/56641 Ex-Ante Analysis of the Benefits of Transgenic Drought Tolerance Research on Cereal Crops in Low-Income Countries AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mills, Bradford F.; Omamo, Steven Were; Wood, Stanley. This paper examines the ex-ante benefits of transgenic research on drought in eight developing countries, including the potential magnitude of private sector profits. The framework employs country-specific agroecological-drought risk zones and considers both yield increases and yield variance reductions when estimating producer and consumer benefits from research. Risk benefits from yield variance reductions are shown to be an important component of aggregate drought research benefits, representing 41 percent of total benefits across the eight countries. Further, estimated annual benefits of $US 93 million to the private sector suggest that significant incentives exist for private sector participation in varietal drought tolerance research.

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/9940 POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF PHARMACEUTICAL USES OF TRANSGENIC TOBACCO: THE CASE OF HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN (HSA) AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mills, Bradford F.; Norton, George W.. The potential size and distribution of benefits from transgenic tobacco as a source of human serum albumin are estimated using an economic surplus model with imperfect competition. The results demonstrate that new products from bio-pharming applications stand to generate significant social benefits.

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/20289 Market Strategies for a Tobacco Bio-Pharming Application: The Case of Gaucher's Disease Treatment AgEcon Kostandini, Genti; Mills, Bradford F.. Small firms developing biotechnology applications often focus on establishing intellectual property rights, which can then be sold to more established firms with existing market chains. This paper explores the expected 'Buyout' price and economic surplus changes for an emerging bio-pharming application with transgenic tobacco. The results suggest a 'Buyout' price of about $1.75 billion. Yet despite this potentially large payout to the innovating firm, consumers also see significant surplus gains.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/19325 Do Rural Community Colleges Supply Unique Educational Benefits? AgEcon Mykerezi, Elton; Kostandini, Genti; Mills, Bradford F.. Community colleges likely draw to college individuals who would otherwise not attend due to their low costs and open admission requirements. This is labeled as the democratization effect. They may also divert individuals away from 4-year to terminal 2-year college degrees (the diversion effect). This study estimates democratization and diversion effects separately for nonmetropolitan and metropolitan youth using nationally representative data and models that account for endogenous institution selection. We find the democratization effect to exceed the diversion effect of community colleges for both metro and nonmetro youth. The democratization-diversion ratio is slightly higher for urban youth.
