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...

The impact of basic industries on regional economic growth : a case study of Oregon's agricultural sector

Creator:: Is-hak, Abdulbasit A
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of the agricultural sector's output and trade on the economic growth and development of the State of Oregon. Economic base theory is applied in the analysis of Oregon's Gross State Product (GSP) between 1977 and 1991. The basic sector is...

Heuristic solution techniques for a spatial harvest scheduling problem involving wildlife habitat and timber income

Creator:: Sharer, Brian K.
Abstract:: Three heuristic techniques: simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS), and tabu search with strategic oscillation (TSSO), were used to schedule silvicultural activities designed to accelerate development of older forest structure at both stand and landscape scales over a 2450 acre forest located in northwestern Oregon. Goals for the forest over...

Impact of artificial flooding on farm profits and streamflow in Echo Meadows, Oregon

Creator:: Seely, Harold E.
Abstract:: Competition for water both from within the irrigation community and from outside interests has been a major source of conflict in the West. In the Umatilla Basin of central Oregon, Umatilla River water is diverted to irrigate a variety of crops, while instream flows have value in salmonid production. Historically,...

The economic feasibility of off-stream water and salt to reduce grazing pressure in riparian areas

Creator:: Stillings, Amy M.
Abstract:: Properly functioning riparian systems are vital to the health of watersheds and provide an important forage and habitat resource for livestock and wildlife. Riparian grazing management strategies that are economically feasible and achieve environmental goals are needed by resource managers and livestock producers. The objective of this thesis was to...

Cost  analysis  of quarantine  zone  size  and control  policy  for  an invasive  forest  pathogen 

Creator:: Hall, Kim M.
Abstract:: Quarantines and control programs are two policy tools used to prevent and reduce the damages caused by invasive species. Quarantines restrict the movement of material that could spread invasive species. Their requirements impose costs on businesses within the quarantine zone by creating barriers to trade and increasing production costs, which...

An evaluation of input purchasing behavior at farm supply cooperatives

Creator:: Hartley, Marcus L.
Abstract:: This study uses an econometric model to explain patronage of farm inputs at cooperatives in a highly diversified agricultural region. The model jointly addresses farmer purchases of six input categories: petroleum, pesticides, fertilizers, services, feed, and seed. Explanatory variables include farm size, farm experience, farm type, membership status farm location,...

Applying random utility modeling to recreational fishing in Oregon : effects of forest management alternatives on steelhead production in the Elk River watershed

Creator:: Alexander, Susan J.
Abstract:: A random utility model of trip demand for steelhead fishing is constructed by using a logit regression technique and data from the 1990 Oregon Angler Survey, conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The model is formulated to estimate demand when only the regional destination is known. Results...

The value of public open space : an hedonic price approach

Creator:: Knoder, Erik
Abstract:: Public open spaces provide many benefits to individuals and society. Many of the services they provide; such as recreation, enjoyment of nature, and improving water quality; are non-exclusive and nonrival in consumption. The "public good" nature of open space services inhibits the formation of a market for open space areas....
