Three studies on the role of uncertainty in the valuation and management of renewable natural resources

Creator:: Burnes, Ellen Irene
Abstract:: These three papers address uncertainty in the management and valuation of renewable natural resources. The first paper develops a model to integrate both stock and price uncertainty to obtain optimal resource levels. The model is an extension of Reed (1974) and shows by proof and by example that when prices...

Economics of drought preparedness and response in irrigated agriculture

Creator:: Peck, Dannele E.
Abstract:: The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...

A comparison of box-cox and additive exponential models to estimate the depreciation of farm machinery

Creator:: Wu, Jing
Abstract:: Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...

A spatially explicit model for allocating conservation efforts : the Grand Ronde River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Watanabe, Michio
Abstract:: The spatial and dynamic pattern of landscape changes has a profound effect on the supply of environmental services, including the provision of habitat for fish and wildlife. Spatial heterogeneity is a common feature of landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, most notably in areas important to the production of salmonid fish...

The economics of spatial choice and displacement: case study of the Oregon bottom trawl groundfish fishery

Creator:: Valcic, Branka
Abstract:: To increase the knowledge needed to successfully implement the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management, this dissertation investigates important issues within the economics of choice and the economics of displacement. In particular, a discrete choice model of the fishing location decision in the Newport, Oregon bottom trawl groundfish fishery is estimated...

Essays on natural endowments, conservation policy, and community characteristics

Creator:: Lin, Haixia
Abstract:: To protect and restore environmental quality, efficient and effective conservation policies are needed. Designing policies require a sound understanding of the contributions of natural endowments to economic vitality, and the performance and impacts of conservation programs. This dissertation consists of three essays, and addresses several issues relevant to these two...

Modeling Oregon’s biodiesel subsidies and their potential effects on the Willamette Valley agricultural landscape

Creator:: Siegel, Ryan W.
Abstract:: The beginning of the twenty-first century has seen an upsurge in petroleum prices and an increased concern over greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, the interest in biodiesel production has heightened. Policy at the Federal level, such as the blender’s tax credit which provides $1 for every gallon of biodiesel blended with...

Land use and land-use change in the Rocky Mountain west

Creator:: Broniak, Christine T.
Abstract:: Private land-use decisions can have important effects on private and public welfare. Market-based policies to regulate land use have the potential to move the privately-optimal allocation of land closer to what is socially optimal. To implement these policies in the Rocky Mountain states, it is necessary to understand the effects...
