The demand for electricity in western U.S. irrigated agriculture : a dual cost function analysis

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery Dean
Abstract:: The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

The accuracy, applicability and transferability of contingent valuation measures for nonmarket goods

Creator:: Berrens, Robert Patrick, 1962-
Abstract:: Despite several decades of research developments, the survey-based contingent valuation (CV) method remains one of the most controversial topics in environmental economics. As the procedure matures and more applied studies are completed, there is increasing pressure to make the results policy relevant. This research is composed of three distinct yet...

A bioeconomic analysis of altering instream flows anadromous fish production and competing demands for water in the John Day River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, Neal S.
Abstract:: The growing demand for water in the arid regions of the West increases the need for optimal allocation of water among competing uses. An efficient allocation of water between instream and out-of-stream uses has been impeded by institutional constraints and the scarcity of information regarding instream flow benefits. The objectives...

An economic evaluation of on-farm strategies for reduction of nitrate groundwater pollution : the case of irrigated production in the Columbia basin

Creator:: Johnson, Scott Lee
Abstract:: Technological advances in agricultural production over the past 40 years have contributed to the high standard of living enjoyed by many in the United States. Extensive use of chemicals to enhance yield and improve crop quality has played a major role in creating this highly productive U.S. agricultural system. Increased...

Using valuation functions to estimate changes in the quality of a recreational experience : elk hunting in Oregon

Creator:: Fried, Brett M.
Abstract:: Public agencies need information on the value of recreational activities to assist in managing fish and wildlife species. Over the past two decades economists have developed and applied techniques to measure the value of such non-marketed commodities. The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one technique used by economists to measure...

Economic analysis of restoration practices to improve water quality and fish habitat of a large river floodplain : a case study of the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Seedang, Saichon
Abstract:: In- stream water temperature is one of the most important environmental factors associated with the decline in salmonid populations and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Most ecological restoration practices that attempt to reduce instream temperatures center on replanting or reestablishing riparian vegetation and increasing flows. However, in a large...

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...

Essays on the economics of wildlife management

Creator:: Rashford, Benjamin S.
Abstract:: Wildlife managers are on the front lines of the effort to conserve wildlife and are required to do so cost-effectively. This dissertation consists of three manuscripts that integrate economics and ecology to inform cost-effective wildlife management. The first and second manuscripts focus on identifying cost-effective wildlife management plans. The third...

An economic analysis of alternative water allocations and habitat investments for anadromous fish production, John Day Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Cerda, Arcadio Alberto
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...
