  • Price-Endogenous Farm Technology Adoption and Ex-Ante Economic Impact Assessment

    Creator:
    Cho, Seojin
    Abstract:
    Technological growth in agriculture increases crop output but it could lower output price in the market. Economic impact assessment in ex-ante analysis usually does not include these indirect supply responses, which can overestimate the economic potential of new technology. This dissertation provides an integrated farm-level ex-ante impact assessment model to...

  • Examining Agricultural Household Welfare through Output Marketing Choices and Land Market Efficiency : Evidence from Rural India

    Creator:
    Dickson, Caleb
    Abstract:
    Development research and policy aim to improve household welfare by improving access to assets and economic opportunities (Besley & Burgess 2000; Deininger et al. 2003). In rural and agrarian contexts, these goals may be achieved by well-functioning markets for outputs, inputs, off-farm work, and credit. The status of these markets...

  • Outcome Distributions in Impact Assessment : Climate Change and Technology Adoption in Pacific Northwest Agriculture

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hongliang
    Abstract:
    Increased temperature and precipitation variability and frequent extreme weather events due to climate change pose a threat to farming operations and agricultural communities. The recent IPCC assessment shows that the projected climate change will, on average, reduce wheat yields by 5% in temperate regions without adaptation and even more if...

  • Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

    Creator:
    Wiggins, Seth T.
    Abstract:
    This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...
