  • 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...

  • 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....

  • A regional computable general equilibrium model with applications for the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Zheng, Xiaojuan
    Abstract:
    Many important policy problems entail linkages among multiple economic sectors, and require the use of a general equilibrium economic modeling framework. This economic approach is appropriate when the market for any one good or service is linked to numerous other goods and services, and back to fundamental inputs such as...

  • The elasticity of excess demand for United States crop exports

    Creator:
    Zheng, Xiaojuan
    Abstract:
    The elasticity of excess demand held by foreign buyers of United States agricultural products is critical for understanding the impacts of changes in farm policy and is a parameter that is much debated. The objective of my study is to estimate this parameter for major U.S. export crops, including wheat,...

  • Essays on Regional Economic Impact Assessment and Demand Analysis using Disaggregated Data

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    The appropriate use of disaggregated economic data not only improves the accuracy and robustness of economic analyses, but also extends the existing economic models to address new aspects of the issue. This dissertation consists of three essays: two essays use disaggregated economic-engineering data to address spatial heterogeneity in economic losses...

  • The economics of a research program : knowledge production, cost, and technical efficiency

    Creator:
    Qin, Lin
    Abstract:
    Calls continually are made to provide economic assessments of research program achievements and efficiency. Yet little effort has been given to develop an assessment framework that would focus on the research discovery itself, treating the research manager as a producer and the research technology as a knowledge production function. The...
