    Abstract:
    The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture in 1994 initiated multilateral reform of the agricultural sector to better integrate global markets.

  • Old McDonald had a Microscope: The Impact of Research Spending on U.S. Agricultural Productivity

    Creator:
    Rietmann, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The United States is a global leader in agricultural productivity. Much of its productivity growth can be attributed to public investments in agricultural research and development, starting in the 19th century and continuing until today. Past studies have shown high returns to agricultural research investments, but publicly funded agricultural research...

  • An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Oregon softwood lumber and plywood industries

    Creator:
    Guerrero Ochoa, Isabel G.
    Abstract:
    The present study employs a normalized restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber and plywood supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for four region-product combinations in Oregon for the period 1970-2010. The four log demand functions will be employed as the "demand side" of the log market model of...

  • Solubility and structure of fish myofibrillar proteins as affected by processing parameters

    Creator:
    Lin, Tein Min, 1964-
    Abstract:
    The results of SDS-PAGE and densitometry indicated that a significant amount of myofibrillar proteins was lost during surimi processing. Microfiltration (MF) was utilized to recover insoluble particulate. The MF-recovered proteins showed highly functional properties in gel hardness, cohesiveness, color, and water retention ability. The soluble proteins concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF)...

    Abstract:
    The elasticity of excess demand held by foreign buyers of United States agricultural products is critical for understanding the impacts of changes in farm policy and is a parameter that is much debated. The objective of my study is to estimate this parameter for major U.S. export crops, including wheat,...

  • Balance Sheet Classification Shifting and Non-Articulation

    Creator:
    Wang, Dilin
    Abstract:
    Research strongly suggests non-articulation is an effective indication of the reporting quality of both the cash flow statement (Gong et al. 2014) and income statement (Collins et al. 2015). I complete the financial reporting circle by examining the association between non-articulation and the reporting quality of the balance sheet, captured...

  • Ruin Problems with Risky Investments

    Creator:
    Loke, Sooie-Hoe
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we study two risk models. First, we consider the dual risk process which models the surplus of a company that incurs expenses at a constant rate and earns random positive gains at random times. When the surplus is invested in a risky asset following a geometric Brownian...

  • Trade costs and business dynamics in U.S. regions and industries

    Creator:
    Wu, Qian
    Abstract:
    Firms' participation in exporting or foreign direct investment is an extremely rare behavior: only 4 percent of over 5.5 million U.S. firms were exporters in 2000. Exporters are generally larger (e.g. output and employment) and more productive than firms serving only domestic markets. Such heterogeneity within a narrowly defined industry...
