Risk modeling using direct solution of expected utility maximization problems

Creator:: Lambert, David K.
Abstract:: A model of agricultural decision making is developed and tested in this thesis. The expected value of utility evaluated under alternative outcomes is directly maximized in a nonlinear programming model. Two features of the model distinguished it from traditional risk programming models. First, alternative attitudes towards the assumption of risk...

Exact welfare measurement: theory and application to recreation economics

Creator:: Niklitschek, Mario E.
Abstract:: Although the limitations of consumer surplus have become widely known, there exists a lack of studies which present in a coherent framework recent developments in estimating Hicksian welfare measures. This study attempts to fill partially this gap by analyzing some theoretical and empirical aspects in the estimation of exact welfare...

The effect of various management and policy options on the financial stress situation of Oregon grain and cattle producers

Creator:: Hewlett, John P.
Abstract:: Agricultural economists have devoted considerable attention to the financial stress situation of agricultural producers. Many studies have been conducted in various regions of the U.S. in an attempt to better understand the causes of the problem. The costs associated with farm financial stress imply corresponding benefits to be realized by...

Economic evaluation of projects and policies affecting anadromous fish : a simulation approach

Creator:: Hastie, James D.
Abstract:: Anadromous fish populations in the Pacific Northwest have undergone substantial change throughout the past century. Historical periods of over-harvest and the construction of numerous dams throughout the region have contributed to declines in the runs of naturally spawning stocks. Management efforts to rebuild fish populations have focused on the restriction...

An evaluation of alternative estimates of demand for and benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing

Creator:: Hsiao, Ching-kai
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...

Producing OSB using red alder : a feasibility case study

Creator:: Wright, Rhonda, Oregon State University. College of Business, and Oregon State University. College of Forestry
Abstract:: The objective of this monograph is to illustrate how the elements of an investment analysis are brought together to form a basis for sound decisions on new plant investments. These elements include financial analysis, raw material analysis, and market analysis. The financial analysis consists of determining the initial investment required...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Trees : timber resource economic estimation system

Creator:: Tedder, Philip L., Schmidt, James S., Gourley, Jonna, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Volume I: TREES (Timber Resource Economic Estimation System), a forest management and harvest scheduling model, is comprehensively described in the first of a four-volume series. Even- or uneven-aged forest inventories form basic resource units (BRUs), entered by age class or size and diameter classes; stocking level; and management intensity. Management...

A short run price forecasting model for slaughter steers and slaughter cows in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reed, Stephen Paul
Abstract:: The cattle industry in the Pacific Northwest is characterized by a large number of producers. Individual contributions to the market have little effect in moderating potential fluctuations in the prices received for the various classes of cattle. Price volatility is of constant concern to producers in planning future production, with...

The economic effects of ozone on U.S. agriculture : a sector modeling approach

Creator:: Hamilton, Scott A.
Abstract:: Tropospheric ozone is a pollutant which has detrimental effects on crop yields. The level of ambient ozone can be reduced by environmental policy changes and enforcement. The purpose of this study was to estimate the welfare effects of such changes in ambient ozone using recently available plant response data and...
