  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
