  • A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

    Creator:
    Mooney, Sian, 1965-
    Abstract:
    The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...

  • A market share analysis of U.S. demand for selected domestic and Mexican frozen vegetables

    Creator:
    Bechtel, Bruce A.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the link between policy-induced changes in the relative prices of Mexican and U.S. frozen vegetables and their shares of the U.S. market. Several scenarios were examined in order to assess the impacts on quantities demanded of both U.S. and Mexican produced frozen vegetables caused by changes in...

  • A mathematical analysis and critique of activity-based costing using mixed integer programming

    Creator:
    Hamler-Dupras, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The acquisition and elimination of products and the resources needed to create them constitutes an important part of the business decision-making process. Activity-based costing (ABC) supports this process by providing a tool for evaluating the relative profitability of various products. It accomplishes this by allocating costs to products based on...

  • A model of Pacific Rim log and lumber markets : structure and projections

    Creator:
    Katz, Andres
    Abstract:
    To facilitate policy making and improve understanding of issues facing the New Zealand forest sector, a spatial equilibrium model was developed for log and lumber trade in the Pacific Rim. Regions included in the model were New Zealand, Chile, Australia, Japan, Eastern Canada, British Columbia: Coast and Interior, and the...

  • A policy preference analysis of the Tunisian wheat sector

    Creator:
    Boughanmi, Houcine
    Abstract:
    Governments in less developed countries have recognized in recent years the need to liberalize economic policies in order to increase efficiency in agricultural commodity markets. In an attempt to help decision makers assess alternative choices, most policy studies, however, have focused on the efficiency norm criterion without much consideration 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....

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • An econometric analysis of the Japanese import demand for U.S. forest products

    Creator:
    Niami, Farhad
    Abstract:
    Japan is the largest market for U.S. forest products. Therefore, export of wood products to this country is critical to the economic life of the forest industry in the U.S. and particularly for the Pacific Northwest. Hence, economic conditions and developments in Japan may significantly affect the volume of trade...

  • An econometric analysis of used tractor prices

    Creator:
    Bayaner, Ahmet
    Abstract:
    Farm equipment is becoming an increasingly important financial asset for many farmers. Tractors probably represent the single largest component of equipment asset value. As such, changes in tractor values can have a dramatic effect on a farmer's financial situation. Changes in equipment value can be attributed to depreciation and the...
