Oregon State University's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics conducted a winegrape acreage survey in Oregon for the 1986 production year. Winegrape acreage has been increasing dramatically and the Wine Advisory Board (WAB) is interested in keeping track of these changes. In 1981, 1982, and 1984 the Department made surveys...
In 1984, Oregon State University's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics was again asked to make a winegrape acreage survey in Oregon. Winegrape acreage is currently increasing dramatically and the Wine Advisory Board is interested in keeping track of these changes. In 1981 and 1982, the Department made surveys of...
This research examines how marketing strategies of produce managers affect consumer expenditures for fresh apples and pears. The objective of this study is to determine how display size, point-of-purchase material, product origin, product information and display placement impact consumer expenditures for fresh apples and pears. These variables were incorporated into...
This study provides an empirical test of the Bockstael-McConnell
(1980) household production function (HPF) framework for evaluating wildlife recreation. This is perhaps the first study in which
both taste and technology parameters have been estimated with a
theoretical model specification. The results suggest that for
steelhead sport fishing in Oregon,...
Land-use change around protected areas can reduce their effective size and limit their ability to conserve biodiversity
because land-use change alters ecological processes and the ability of organisms to move freely among protected areas.
The goal of our analysis was to inform conservation planning efforts for a nationwide network of...
In 1982, Oregon State University Extension Service was again asked to make a winegrape acreage survey in Oregon. Winegrape acreage is currently increasing dramatically and the Table Wine Research Advisory Board (TWRAB) is interested in keeping track of these changes.
In 1981 Extension made a survey of acreages by county...
This study develops an improved method for understanding
economic production relationships in small scale
fisheries. This method postulates that gross revenue is a
function of physical input quantities, and is based upon
the transcendental logarithmic function to derive factor
share equations for each of the five inputs in the model....
The basic objective of this investigation was to identify and to
examine factors determining the volume of imports of inshell and shelled
Brazil nuts in major importing countries: the United States, the
Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom.
The approach followed involved the construction and analysis of
an...
Wheat is a major agricultural product in the
Pacific Northwest (PNW). The market class primarily
grown in the region is Western White (WW) wheat. An
important export market for PNW wheat producers is the
Asian Pacific Rim (APR), due to its proximity and
economic growth.
Agronomic research has been conducted...
This study analyzes the impact of the Poultry Extension and
Training Subproject (PETS) on the village household in North Yemen.
The subproject was funded by the U.S. Agency for International
Development and implemented by Oregon State University
The primary goal of this study was to determine the impact of
the...
