Computer simulation of irrigation system improvements : an analysis of income, risk and offsite impacts

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Policy analysts designing programs to improve the efficiency and expand the use of water in the irrigation of farm lands often enlist benefit-cost analysis as a means of assessing impacts and feasibility. While on-site comparisons of costs and benefits are important factors in project assessment, other dimensions such as risk,...

A Monte Carlo analysis of principal components and ridge regression with application to a fisheries evaluation model

Creator:: Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
Abstract:: Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

Estimating import substitution potential and multiplier effects for basic sectors in rural Oregon counties

Creator:: Wood, Stephen G.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: . The propensity model is used to illustrate how such a model, if it had narrow prediction limits

A structural description of Oregon counties, 1973-1978

Creator:: Ledeboer, M. Vivian
Abstract:: Local government officials and county planners may find descriptive information concerning the economic structure of each Oregon county useful for planning for future economic development. Specifically, citizens of counties and planning districts need to know whether industries in their area are growing or declining and in which industries a comparative...

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...

A household production approach to modeling household recycling effort

Creator:: Martini, Roger
Abstract:: Household recycling is an important means by which social costs of solid waste disposal may be reduced. These costs include energy and resource costs of collection and disposal as well as environmental costs from emissions from landfills, incinerators, and collection vehicles. In this thesis, a household production model is used...

A method to improve consumer surplus estimates from truncated recreation demand data

Creator:: Weidner, Kerri L
Abstract:: A method is presented in this study for improving empirical travel cost analyses when truncated data are available. The analysis expands upon a Monte Carlo study conducted by Riyadi (1993) which compared the coefficient and consumer surplus estimates for five travel cost estimators using both truncated and censored data. Riyadi...

An econometric model of Pacific Northwest feeder cattle basis

Creator:: Vanderpool, Cynthia Ann
Abstract:: Fluctuating feeder cattle prices have a direct affect on the revenue variability of feeder cattle producers. Hedging in the commodity futures market is a marketing strategy which can, if properly used, reduce the financial risk of feeder cattle producers. If the closing basis value is known when a hedge is...

A proposed model to predict population in relatively rural areas experiencing rapid economic development

Creator:: Clark, Jerry E., 1949-
Abstract:: In this research a model is developed to predict population for relatively rural areas experiencing rapid economic development. Of the many ways to predict population size, in this research a "demographic-economic" model is chosen for use. The economic variables which aid in projecting population are total employment, and net changes...
