  • Determining member contributions to marketing cooperative returns when raw products are commingled before sale

    Creator:
    Stokstad, Grete Synnøve
    Abstract:
    Marketing cooperatives that operate on a pool basis allocate net returns on the basis of the "economic value" of the raw products each member has delivered. Economic values ideally reflect the raw products' expected contributions to pool net return. In a competitive market, raw product prices would reflect these expected...

  • 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...

    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...

  • 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....
