Transatlantic Trade And Investment Partnership: Implications To Global Wine Market, Natalia Antosova
Transatlantic Trade And Investment Partnership: Implications To Global Wine Market, Natalia Antosova
LSU Master's Theses
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership was first introduced in 2013, with the goal of liberalization of the trade and investments, better coordination of trade by specific regulations, enhancing intellectual property protection and lifting government’s impediments to trade. This Thesis is concerned on potential implications of the TTIP on the wine industry in the European Union and particular consequences related to EU wine producers. The literature review of this paper is developed with the purpose to bring general knowledge in the matter of the TTIP. In addition, linkages of the TTIP with the political economy are provided in the latter part …
An Assessment Of The Economic Feasibility Of Establishing A Biofuel Industry In The State Of Louisiana, Alessandro Holzapfel
An Assessment Of The Economic Feasibility Of Establishing A Biofuel Industry In The State Of Louisiana, Alessandro Holzapfel
LSU Master's Theses
As national interests continue to encourage the development of advanced cellulosic biofuels, through legislation, research support and other means, a wide range of alternative agricultural crops are being evaluated in various regions of the country as potential feedstock material for biofuel processing facilities. Previous research has shown that both energy cane and sweet sorghum can be successfully grown in Louisiana. This study evaluated the economic feasibility of utilizing energy cane and sweet sorghum as biofuel feedstock crops. Economic analysis focused on two primary factors: estimation of feedstock cost and optimal location of processing facilities. Five cropping sequences were evaluated in …
Private Market Alternatives For Maintaining Wetland Viability In Coastal Louisiana: A Double-Hurdle Approach, Hua Wang
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The coastal zone of Louisiana contains more than three million wetland acres, or about 40 percent of the nation’s total. Since 1930, Louisiana has experienced a net loss of over 1,900 square miles of coastal wetlands. Currently at risk are the remaining coastal wetlands, 80 percent of which are under private ownership. The acceptance of private wetland owners to restoration programs and their participation in these programs are critical if future coastal restoration efforts are to be successful. Gaining the cooperation by the coastal landowners, however, is complicated by the fact that while the public benefits accruing from wetland protection …
The Vulnerability Of Louisiana To Hurricane Damage And The Value Of Wetlands For Hurricane Risk Reduction, James Luke Boutwell
The Vulnerability Of Louisiana To Hurricane Damage And The Value Of Wetlands For Hurricane Risk Reduction, James Luke Boutwell
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Coastal Louisiana is annually threatened by coastal storms. Population grown, wetland loss, and potentially increasing storm frequency are likely to increase coastal vulnerability to these events. Increasingly, coastal management entities are managing land resources to reduce the economic impact of natural disasters with the use of natural infrastructure. This is true in Louisiana where the Louisiana Coastal Master Plan allocates billions of dollars to coastal restoration projects, many of which are intended to mitigate economic damages from tropical storms and hurricanes. Despite this significant proposed investment, the risk reduction value provided by these projects is not well known. This analysis …
An Augmented Gravity Model: Factors That Affect The U.S. Sugar Imports From Western Hemisphere Countries, Katherine Ramirez Hernandez
An Augmented Gravity Model: Factors That Affect The U.S. Sugar Imports From Western Hemisphere Countries, Katherine Ramirez Hernandez
LSU Master's Theses
This study analyzes the main factors that affect sugar imports to the United States from western hemisphere producing countries. Important variables such as Free Trade Agreements, production capacity levels and the quota imposed by the United States to the imported sugar will be analyzed under the scope of the gravity model. The estimation of the model is carried out using an OLS analysis. The variables used to create a reliable single-commodity gravity model are: sugar production indicators, distances between the involved countries, population, import quotas, and a set of dummy variables such as FTA (Free Trade Agreements) and border, that …
A Review Of The Dominican Cocoa Industry: Determining Advantages And Factors To Improve, Glorianni Viviana Estrella
A Review Of The Dominican Cocoa Industry: Determining Advantages And Factors To Improve, Glorianni Viviana Estrella
LSU Master's Theses
Cocoa is one of the commodities with great tradition and consumption around the world. The cocoa industry produces billions of dollars at the global level and contributes significantly to the employment of thousands of people in the countries that have acquired relevant consumption habits as well as in developing countries that produce cocoa. The Dominican Republic has been blessed and belongs to the latter group. It is the top ninth producing country worldwide and the second of the Americas. The DR has been exporting over 50,000 metric tons of cocoa per year for the past twelve years, which is destined …
Potential Impacts Of The Tpp On Agricultural Trade In The Asia-Pacific Region Utilizing A Gravity Model Framework, Chloe Michelle Worley
Potential Impacts Of The Tpp On Agricultural Trade In The Asia-Pacific Region Utilizing A Gravity Model Framework, Chloe Michelle Worley
LSU Master's Theses
This study examines the impacts RTAs have had in the Asia-Pacific region regarding agricultural trade flows in order to make a prediction on how the proposed TPP agreement will affect the region. The estimation was carried out using a Gravity Model framework to observe the trade creation and trade diversion effects of five existing RTAs in the Asia-Pacific region. These agreements include NAFTA, AFTA, MERCOSUR, APEC, and CER. It is expected that RTAs were to have a positive effect for trade creation and a negative trade diversion effect. The gravity model included export flows of agricultural commodities (defined as food …
