  • The economics of commodity promotion in the hazelnut industry

    Creator:
    Miller, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of commodity promotion activities on the United States' hazelnut farmer's economic welfare. Commodity promotion activities, such as generic advertising and research, are the responsibilities of government mandated commodity commissions, such as the Hazelnut Marketing Board (HMB). The HMB is a...

  • An economic model of search and matching in international trade

    Creator:
    Zhang, Xin
    Abstract:
    Small manufacturing firms often serve a domestic market but would like to expand their sales overseas. It is difficult for a small firm to develop overseas contracts and relationships, however, in part because of their small size, and because the advantages of their products may not always be obvious. The...

  • Using country-level forest coverage to analyze the existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve

    Creator:
    Gulpen, Sam Franciscus Johannes
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to analyze the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality, in this case measured by forest cover, and analyzes whether this relationship is consistent with an Environmental Kuznets Curve. Additionally the relationship between population density and forest cover was analyzed. A simple theoretical model is derived that...

  • An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Oregon softwood lumber and plywood industries

    Creator:
    Guerrero Ochoa, Isabel G.
    Abstract:
    The present study employs a normalized restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber and plywood supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for four region-product combinations in Oregon for the period 1970-2010. The four log demand functions will be employed as the "demand side" of the log market model of...

  • Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

    Creator:
    Cusack, Christopher Inju
    Abstract:
    Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

  • Developing a should-cost model to predict display pricing in smartphones

    Creator:
    Parameshwaran Kashi, Viswanath
    Abstract:
    Companies working on new product development of smartphones seek to adopt designs and methodologies to help them stay competitive. Due to its high cost contribution to a smartphone, optimizing display cost is an important part of a smartphone's cost reduction activity. Hence, strategically sourcing displays in the development of smartphones...

  • Optimal spatial-dynamic resource allocation facing uncertainty : integrating economics and ecology for invasive species policy

    Creator:
    Hall, Kim M.
    Abstract:
    The spatial and temporal behavior of invasive species spread implies that optimal management strategies involve decisions over space and time. Dispersal and propagule pressure are two primary drivers of the spatial-temporal ecological process of species invasion. In the case of riparian communities, stream flow drives the dispersal of vegetation propagules....

  • Visual Analysis of Attorney Case Portfolios Over Time

    Creator:
    Nambirajan, Surendar
    Abstract:
    While individual portfolio diversity analysis is a well-studied problem in visualization, the visual analysis of individual or groups of portfolios, over time, has received little attention. Such analysis, however, is important to researchers who are interested in better understanding portfolio management behavior of experts as well as novices. We conducted...

  • Bottom-up cost modeling for vanadium redox flow battery component manufacturing

    Creator:
    Southworth, Zachary J.
    Abstract:
    In the U.S. there are increasing energy demands that require an ever-increasing need for the large-scale use of new energy resources. Specifically, sporadic renewable energy sources are being incorporated into utility energy portfolios. Thus, supporting stationary energy storage technologies are needed to make these renewable sources reliable and feasible for...

  • A proposed model for forecasting the project termination phase from an engineering economic perspective.

    Creator:
    Saravana Marthandam, Nithin
    Abstract:
    Projects have a life cycle, and termination of a project by a firm from the market is considered to be a part of the project life cycle. Project needs to be terminated when the project has failed or at the point when the company is expecting the project to fail....
