Efficiencies of Agricultural Credit Associations of the US Farm Credit System are measured quarterly from 2005 through 2020. A slacks-based measure based on the directional distance function is used with non-performing loans included as an undesirable output. This permitted efficiency scores to be measured by type of defined input or output. Generally, most Associations were highly efficient, but there was deterioration in mean efficiency over the years 2008–2018, a period of financial difficulties in the US agriculture. Efficiencies of Associations that merged or consolidated were tracked before and after these activities. Mergers and consolidations often led to increased efficiencies.
从2005年到2020年,美国农业信贷体系的农业信贷协会的效率每季度进行一次评估。在不良贷款作为不良输出的情况下,采用基于方向距离函数的松弛度量。这样就可以根据定义的输入或输出类型来衡量效率得分。总体而言,大多数协会都是高效的,但在2008-2018年美国农业财政困难时期,平均效率有所下降。在这些活动之前和之后跟踪合并或合并的协会的效率。兼并和合并通常会提高效率。

Effective irrigation management is critical for future food supplies and the prosperity of producers engaged in irrigation production. Through a deficit irrigation field experiment, we determine the financial impact on producers caused by changing irrigation costs, corn prices, extreme weather events, and restricting irrigation levels. Results suggest that the optimal economic strategy within our constrained optimization model is to fully irrigate, with the economic impact highly dependent on commodity prices, restriction level, and irrigation costs. The greatest economic losses caused by irrigation restrictions come from decreases in yield. Some simulations resulted in negative profits, indicating that a switch to alternative crops requiring less irrigation may be warranted.
有效的灌溉管理对未来的粮食供应和从事灌溉生产的生产者的繁荣至关重要。通过赤字灌溉田间试验,我们确定了灌溉成本、玉米价格、极端天气事件和限制灌溉水平对生产者造成的财务影响。结果表明,在我们的约束优化模型中,最优经济策略是充分灌溉,其经济影响高度依赖于商品价格、限制水平和灌溉成本。灌溉限制造成的最大经济损失来自产量的下降。一些模拟结果是负利润,这表明可能有必要转向需要较少灌溉的替代作物。

The H-2A temporary agricultural workers visa program is a federal program allowing agricultural employers to bring in foreign workers on a seasonal basis. The extent to which H-2A workers earn more compared to their domestic unauthorized counterparts is of interest for both producers and workers. Using novel data on citrus harvest workers in the state of Florida, we estimate hourly earnings differentials by legal status using Classical and Bayesian inference. Findings suggest that participation in the H-2A program is associated with 18–23% higher hourly earnings for migrant harvesters in Florida after controlling for observable demographic and work-related variables.
H-2A临时农业工人签证计划是一项联邦计划,允许农业雇主按季节性引进外国工人。生产商和工人都感兴趣的是,H-2A工人比国内未经授权的同行挣得多到什么程度。利用佛罗里达州柑橘收获工人的新数据,我们使用经典和贝叶斯推理估计法律地位的小时收入差异。研究结果表明,在控制了可观察到的人口统计和工作相关变量后,参加H-2A计划与佛罗里达州移民收割机的小时收入增加18-23%有关。

We estimate the relationship between farm animal welfare (FAW) efforts taken by beef farmers and the economic performance of beef farms by using farm accounting data from the Swedish Farm Economic Survey matched with survey data on farm management practices. To this end, we perform a two-step analysis. First, an item response theory (IRT) model estimates the latent FAW effort on farms. FAW effort likely depends on a host of complementary FAW-improving strategies, and the IRT model combines the considered strategies into a unidimensional scale. We take this to represent on-farm FAW effort. Second, we use instrumental variable regressions to estimate the relationship between FAW effort and multiple measures of farm economic performance. We find that higher FAW effort scores have no effect on margins and costs. However, higher FAW effort scores are associated with lower farm sales. Findings suggest that policies (such as targeted label for high FAW) that increase farm revenue as well as incentivize the uptake of FAW-improvement practices may be able to compensate farmers for their FAW effort.
我们使用瑞典农场经济调查的农场会计数据与农场管理实践的调查数据相匹配,估计了牛肉养殖户所做的农场动物福利(FAW)努力与牛肉养殖场经济绩效之间的关系。为此,我们进行了两步分析。首先,项目反应理论(IRT)模型估计了一汽在农场的潜在努力。一汽的努力可能取决于一系列互补的一汽改进战略,而IRT模型将所考虑的战略组合成一维规模。我们认为这代表了一汽在农场上的努力。其次,我们使用工具变量回归来估计一汽努力与多种农业经济绩效指标之间的关系。我们发现,一汽努力得分越高,对利润和成本没有影响。然而,一汽努力得分越高,农场销售额越低。研究结果表明,增加农业收入并激励采用一汽改进做法的政策(如针对高一汽的标签)可能能够补偿农民的一汽努力。

Incentivizing the production of ecosystem services on working lands: The opportunities and challenges of funding “nature’s contributions to people” in the U.S. Northeast 激励工作土地上生态系统服务的生产:资助美国东北部“自然对人类的贡献”的机遇和挑战

Abstract In the coming decades, promoting the production of ecosystem service provisioning will become increasingly important in the U.S. Northeast, which is expected to experience a number of impacts as a result of climate change, including rising temperatures, changes in precipitation and seasonality, and sea-level rise, among others (U.S. Global Change Research Program 2020). Incentives have been shown to motivate the adoption of sustainable production practices that provision ecosystem services across different types of working landscapes. Using data from a recent landscape assessment in the Northeast, this paper finds an incredible breadth of programs available to producers across a variety of working landscapes (e.g., agricultural lands and working forests) and for different production practices. These data also point to critical gaps in current programming and also highlight important opportunities for programmatic synergy and more holistic program design going forward. This paper concludes by discussing the results in the context of four main themes of particular relevance to the U.S. Northeast which include (1) working landbase and infrastructure, (2) livelihood provisioning, (3) scale, and (4) resilience.
在未来几十年,促进生态系统服务供给的生产在美国东北部将变得越来越重要,该地区预计将受到气候变化的一系列影响,包括气温上升、降水和季节性变化以及海平面上升等(美国全球变化研究计划2020)。已经证明,激励措施可以激励采用可持续生产实践,从而在不同类型的工作景观中提供生态系统服务。本文利用最近在美国东北部进行的景观评估的数据发现,在各种工作景观(如农业用地和工作森林)和不同的生产实践中,生产者可获得的项目范围之广令人难以置信。这些数据还指出了当前节目设计中的关键差距,并强调了节目协同和更全面的节目设计的重要机会。本文最后讨论了与美国东北部特别相关的四个主题的结果,包括:(1)工作的陆地基地和基础设施,(2)生计供应,(3)规模,(4)弹性。

This paper shows how econometric identification can be improved in studies making use of crop insurance participation as either an independent or dependent variable. The paper provides the reader with a succinct overview of how crop insurance contracts are priced and how to use publicly available data to derive a novel composite crop insurance design parameter that emulates existing crop insurance rating parameters using a procedure that is based on current actuarial practices. The derived design parameter performs well at predicting historic crop insurance loss-cost ratios and satisfies the requirements for an instrumental variable for a variety of empirical applications related to crop insurance. Representative empirical examples are presented where it is shown that the proposed instrument has favorable two-staged least squares diagnostic tests and is effective at eliminating endogeneity bias.
本文展示了如何在利用作物保险参与作为自变量或因变量的研究中改进计量经济识别。本文为读者提供了农作物保险合同如何定价的简要概述,以及如何使用公开可用的数据推导出一种新的复合作物保险设计参数,该参数使用基于当前精算实践的程序模拟现有的作物保险评级参数。导出的设计参数在预测历史作物保险损失成本比方面表现良好,并满足与作物保险相关的各种经验应用对工具变量的要求。代表性的经验例子提出,其中表明,提出的仪器有有利的两阶段最小二乘诊断检验,并有效地消除内生性偏差。

This study examines the factors influencing women farmers’ choice of adaptation strategies to reduce the negative impacts of climate change and the effects of these strategies on household income and food insecurity. A field survey was conducted among 426 women farmers in the Center-North region, which covers 7% of Burkina Faso territory. Descriptive statistics, a multinomial logit model, and a propensity score matching model were used to analyze the data collected. The results of the econometric analysis show that high domestic tasks, type of climate shocks experienced, membership in women’s group, and financial constraints are important determinants of adaptation decisions. Adaptation strategies are also found to have a positive impact on income and a negative impact on household food insecurity. These different findings highlight the need to prioritize flexible adaptation options to improve women farmers’ resilience to climate change, rather than generic solutions.
本研究考察了影响女农民选择适应战略以减少气候变化的负面影响的因素,以及这些战略对家庭收入和粮食不安全的影响。对覆盖布基纳法索7%领土的中北部地区426名女农民进行了实地调查。描述性统计、多项logit模型和倾向得分匹配模型用于分析收集的数据。计量经济学分析的结果表明,繁重的家务劳动、经历的气候冲击类型、妇女团体的成员资格和财政限制是适应决策的重要决定因素。适应战略也对收入产生积极影响,对家庭粮食不安全产生消极影响。这些不同的发现突出表明,需要优先考虑灵活的适应选择,以提高女农民对气候变化的抵御能力,而不是通用的解决方案。

Residential mobility and the value of water quality improvements in the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern 密尔沃基河口关注区居民流动性和水质改善的价值

Abstract This paper presents research on the benefits of removing legacy pollutants in Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs). AOCs are heavily polluted coastal locations identified as priorities for restoration under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) between the United States and Canada. Legacy pollutants pose a human and environmental health risk that can limit opportunities for redevelopment, recreation, and wildlife habitats. The AOC program improves water quality through remediation and restoration projects, which may increase the desirability of living in proximity to AOCs. In this paper, we estimate the economic benefit of cleaning up part of the Milwaukee Estuary AOC with a two-part sorting model using panel data on neighborhood populations and moving decisions before and after a series of remediation actions. Our results provide evidence that residents value remediation, though estimates are sensitive to the definition of the cleanup area. The average annual benefit for a household living near the AOC just downstream of cleanup is $268, with a range of $28-$499 depending on their race and tenure group; the aggregate benefit is $350 million. Results indicate a large difference in benefits between renters and owners but statistically insignificant differences between race groups.
摘要本文介绍了在关注的大湖区(AOCs)去除遗留污染物的效益研究。AOC是受严重污染的沿海地区,根据美国和加拿大之间的《大湖区水质协定》(GLWQA),被确定为恢复的优先事项。遗留污染物对人类和环境健康构成风险,可能会限制重新开发、娱乐和野生动物栖息地的机会。AOC计划通过修复和恢复项目改善水质,这可能会增加在AOC附近生活的可取性。在本文中,我们使用一个由两部分组成的排序模型,利用社区人口的面板数据和一系列补救行动前后的搬迁决策,估计了清理密尔沃基河口AOC部分的经济效益。我们的研究结果提供了证据,表明居民重视修复,尽管估计对清理区域的定义很敏感。居住在清理下游AOC附近的家庭的平均年福利为268美元,根据他们的种族和保有权群体,福利在28-499美元之间;总收益为3.5亿美元。结果表明,租房者和业主之间的福利差异很大,但种族群体之间的差异在统计上不显著。

How reliable – and (net) beneficial – is the green in green infrastructure 绿色基础设施中的绿色有多可靠和(净)效益

The idea of green infrastructure (GI) has generated great interest and creativity in addressing a range of challenging and expensive environmental problems, from coastal resilience to control of combined sewer overflows (CSOs). The appeal of GI stems from its cost savings compared to traditional “gray” infrastructure and the multiple benefits it provides, including biodiversity, aesthetics, and carbon sequestration. For example, a “green” approach to controlling CSOs in New York City saved $1.5 billion compared to a “gray” approach. Despite these advantages, GI still does not have detailed design and reliability specifications as compared to engineered gray infrastructure, potentially hindering its adoption. In this paper, we review some of the potential applications of GI in modern environmental science and discuss how reliability and associated (un)certainty in net benefits need to be addressed to realize the potential of this new approach.
绿色基础设施(GI)的理念在解决一系列具有挑战性和昂贵的环境问题方面产生了极大的兴趣和创造力,从海岸恢复力到控制下水道联合溢流(CSO)。GI的吸引力源于它与传统的“灰色”基础设施相比节省的成本,以及它提供的多种好处,包括生物多样性、美学和碳封存。例如,与“灰色”方法相比,纽约市控制民间社会组织的“绿色”方法节省了15亿美元。尽管有这些优势,但与工程灰色基础设施相比,GI仍然没有详细的设计和可靠性规范,这可能会阻碍其采用。在本文中,我们回顾了GI在现代环境科学中的一些潜在应用,并讨论了如何解决净效益的可靠性和相关(不)确定性问题,以实现这种新方法的潜力。

In this paper, we review some of the potential applications of GI in modern environmental science and discuss how reliability and associated (un)certainty in net benefits need to be addressed to realize the potential of this new approach.","PeriodicalId":44443,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural and Resource Economics Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"189 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46840360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Climate change is one of the largest threats for biodiversity as changing climatic conditions often make existing habitat sites less suitable. This poses new challenges for species conservation, in particular in agricultural landscapes, where climate change may also induce modifications in agricultural land use. To conserve species in agricultural landscapes, agri-environment schemes (AES) which compensate farmers for implementing conservation measures are commonly used. However, current research on the cost-effective design of AES largely ignores necessary adaptations of conservation measures given climate change. We develop a climate-ecological-economic (CEE) model to examine how the cost-effective design of AES has to be modified under climate change. We apply the model to the conservation of eight meadow bird species in Northern Germany and determine the cost-effective conservation measures under recent and future climatic conditions. We find that the timing of conservation measures in the AES needs to be changed in the RCP8.5 scenario given the species’ phenological adaptations and the impact of extreme events (inundations) on costs. The novelty of the research lies in the development of a CEE model which considers both spatial and temporal changes in costs and benefits to develop recommendations for the cost-effective design of AES under climate change.
摘要气候变化是生物多样性面临的最大威胁之一,因为不断变化的气候条件往往使现有的栖息地变得不太合适。这对物种保护提出了新的挑战,特别是在农业景观方面,气候变化也可能导致农业土地利用的改变。为了保护农业景观中的物种,通常使用农业环境计划(AES)来补偿实施保护措施的农民。然而,目前对AES成本效益设计的研究在很大程度上忽略了在气候变化的情况下对保护措施的必要调整。我们开发了一个气候生态经济(CEE)模型,以研究在气候变化下如何修改AES的成本效益设计。我们将该模型应用于德国北部八种草地鸟类的保护,并确定了在近期和未来气候条件下具有成本效益的保护措施。我们发现,考虑到物种的酚学适应以及极端事件(洪水)对成本的影响,在RCP8.5场景中,AES中保护措施的时间需要改变。该研究的新颖之处在于开发了一个CEE模型,该模型考虑了成本和效益的空间和时间变化,为气候变化下AES的成本效益设计提出了建议。
