  • Essays on strategic behavior in oligopoly markets : advertising, output, and price competition

    Creator:
    Isariyawongse, Kosin
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses issues of strategic behavior of firms in oligopoly markets. In the first study we analyze how generic advertising affects brand advertising and firm profits in differentiated oligopoly markets. We develop two models, one with vertical differentiation and another with horizontal differentiation. In the case of vertical differentiation,...

  • Essays on the use of distance functions in empirical studies : efficiency measurement and beyond

    Creator:
    Vardanyan, Mikayel
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the intricacies associated with the use of distance functions in empirical studies. It focuses on the measurement of advertising efficiency and investigates the properties of the models that seek to approximate the abatement costs of socially undesirable outputs. The first manuscript is devoted to the development of...

  • Evaluation of physical and thermal methods to support nonlinear cost optimization models of surimi seafood

    Creator:
    Hsü, Cheng-kuang
    Abstract:
    Optimization programming techniques were applied to develop the least cost formulations for Pacific whiting surimi-based seafood (PWSBS). To develop the quality constraint functions, texture and color of whiting surimi gels were determined by torsion test and colorimeter, respectively. Whiting surimi gels were produced by heating at 90°C for 15 min....

  • Spatial and inter-temporal price analysis : including risk perceptions and dynamic trade flow information

    Creator:
    Han, Shengfei
    Abstract:
    A regime-switching model for market integration study is extended to incorporate dynamic trade flow information and risk perceptions based on an expected utility framework. An application of the extended model to the US-China soybean markets analysis shows that: One, the positive arbitrage rent uncounted-for in the extended model has been...

  • Common property fisheries resources : a game theoretic and empirical analysis

    Creator:
    Naito, Toyokazu
    Abstract:
    This dissertation contains theoretical and empirical analyses on common property fisheries resources. The theoretical analysis focuses on a highly migratory fish stocks (HMFS) fishery, and examines the inefficiency caused by non-cooperative harvest. The empirical analysis focuses on a high seas fishery and conducts an empirical test on the effects 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...

  • Essays on market imperfection

    Creator:
    Sohn, Saeyoon
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses two topics on market imperfections. First, chapter 2 presents a theoretical model that focuses on problems associated with informational asymmetry. The model presents a dynamic signaling game between a monopolist manufacturer and a monopolist retailer, where demand is uncertain and only the retailer is privately informed. This...

  • The cyclical behaviors of agricultural farmland prices

    Creator:
    Cai, Deqin
    Abstract:
    This research studies the cyclical behavior of agricultural farmland prices in the United States with a special emphasis on how agricultural policies contribute to farmland price movement. The first stage of the study is to have a conceptual understanding of how agricultural policies affect the behavior of farmland prices. A...

  • International comparison and evaluation of agricultural productivity growth

    Creator:
    Rada, Nicholas E.
    Abstract:
    Long-run food price changes respond to long-run changes in food demand, quasi-fixed and variable production factors, and agricultural productivity. Recent global food-price volatility puts a renewed spotlight on the trends and sources of any agricultural productivity growth. Because food prices’ most critical effects are on human hunger, it is especially...

  • 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....
