For many resource-based communities throughout Oregon the timber
industry plays an important role. In many of these areas, federal
land holdings comprise a large proportion of the area's land holdings.
Management decisions regarding resource use on the National Forest
lands can have a major influence on the stability of local...
The general objective of this study is to analyze the production
and the consumption of food in Korea for the years 1955 through 1969
and to project them for the years 1970 through 1980. This study has
the following purposes;
(1) To examine the trend in food production and yield....
Lumber drying accounts for about 70 percent of sawmill energy
requirements. Significant recovery of energy used to dry lumber
would result in significant energy recovery for the mill. This is
desirable because of today's high cost of energy. The objective of
this study was to recover some of the energy...
Concern over the need to provide open space in communities
for recreation and other uses and to estimate the public values
involved is apparent to regional planners. This need, particularly
evident in natural resource planning, indicates that more sophisticated
analytical techniques be developed.
The primary thrust of this study is...
There is considerable evidence to support the
hypothesis that seafood, poultry and meat are close
substitutes in consumer demand. Thus the relationships
among prices are important in determining consumption
patterns among these protein sources. In addition, there
are at least two kinds of outlets in which seafood, poultry
and meat...
The vegetation of a 420 square mile area of the
Oregon Coastal Mountain Range was mapped using data from
the multispectral scanner system aboard Landsat.
Advantages of this mapping system include rapid synoptic
coverage of the same geographic area at different
periods in time at a reduced cost compared to...
In order to effectively use foodgrain prices as tools of government policy, it is necessary to know the possible effects of price incentives on different economic variables. The present study
attempts to measure the effects of foodgrain prices, upon various economic variables, including production, consumption, both at the farm and...
Objective of this study was to compare accuracy of
several travel cost methods, by employing Monte Carlo
simulations in the single site framework. Estimates from
five methods were compared to the "true" travel cost
coefficient and "true" consumer surplus. Each method was
ranked, using the root mean squared error (RMSE)...
