Tourism: The Cinderella Stepchild Of Economic Development?, Cheryl A. Burkhart-Kriesel

When most people think about the economic engines that drive the state of Nebraska, agriculture and manufacturing almost always come to mind. But did you know that tourism is ranked #3 in dollars generated into the state economy?

2006 Nebraska Water Policy Choices, J. David Aiken
2006 Nebraska Water Policy Choices, J. David Aiken
Cornhusker Economics
Nebraska is blessed with relatively abundant (but not unlimited) ground water supplies. In the tradition of other western states with significant ground water supplies, Nebraska has followed a largely local-control approach to ground water management. This means that local political subdivisions (Natural Resource Districts, or NRDs in Nebraska, other ground water districts in other states) have had the option whether to regulate ground water development and use to extend the life of local ground water supplies. In Nebraska, as well as in Texas, there has traditionally been no effective state role in ground water management – if ground water problems …

The Market Potential Of A New High-Oleic Soybean Developed At Unl, Amalia Yiannaka
Cornhusker Economics
The introduction of genetically modified (GM) products into the food system has been a contentious issue eliciting divergent responses from the major players in the agri-food sector. While farmers have been embracing the agronomic benefits associated with the first generation of producer-oriented GM products, an increasing number of consumers have been raising objections to food containing GM ingredients in major markets around the world. Consumer reaction to GM products is founded on health, environmental, ethical and/or philosophical concerns, and has impaired the potential of agricultural biotechnology.

Crop Insurance Performance In Nebraska In 2005, H. Douglas Jose
Cornhusker Economics
Unfortunately grain prices, particularly corn, have sagged this fall under the weight of a good harvest across most of the country. With the grain mostly harvested, lets look at what has happened with crop insurance this year and how it complemented marketing opportunities.
Ccc Marketing Loans, Tina N. Barrett
Ccc Marketing Loans, Tina N. Barrett
Cornhusker Economics
The current grain market situation has brought about a renewed discussion on Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs) and marketing loans this fall. Understanding the tax situation of each may help in deciding which option is right for you. As you know, producers have the option to take a LDP or receive a marketing loan upon harvesting their crop.

Safety Regulations For New Gmo Crops, Richard K. Perrin
Cornhusker Economics
Starlink. Monarch Butterflies. Frankenfoods. These words conjure foreboding thoughts of potential catastrophe lurking behind the development of genetically modified organisms, or GMO’s. Are they really safe to be released? Are they safe to even experiment with? The purpose here is to describe the federal regulatory system that addresses these issues.

Downturn In Nebraska Net Farm Income Expected For 2005, Bruce B. Johnson
Downturn In Nebraska Net Farm Income Expected For 2005, Bruce B. Johnson
Cornhusker Economics
What is obvious to most observers of the state’s agricultural sector is that this year’s income levels will not match those of a year ago. And in some cases, they won’t even come close. However, we need to remember that 2004 represented a truly unique set of circumstances, where both the crop and the livestock sectors were enjoying phenomenal conditions. So, even though down from 2004, the 2005 net farm income forecast still looks relatively strong in the context of the past 10 years.

Long-Term Care For Farmers And Ranchers, David J. Goeller
Long-Term Care For Farmers And Ranchers, David J. Goeller
Cornhusker Economics
An Aging Population There are more than 36 million Americans over the age of 65. Projections estimate this segment of the population will double to 72 million in the next 25 years. Long-term care for America’s aging population is an important consideration in estate and business transition planning. Many have become increasingly aware how easily the cost of long-term care can wipe out a lifetime of savings or hamper the transfer of a family farm, ranch or business to future generations.

Measuring The Accountability Of Advertising Expenses In The Presence Of Sales Cost Inefficiency And Marketing Spillovers, Konstantinos Giannakas, Giannis Karagiannis, Vangelis Tzouvelekas
Department of Agricultural Economics: Presentations, Working Papers, and Gray Literature
This paper develops a tractable theoretical framework for analyzing the substitutability between different advertising media, the extent of marketing spillovers in the market, the allocative efficiency of advertising spending, and the sources of total advertising productivity and sales growth. Maintaining the separability assumption between sales and production technology, the proposed methodology relies on cost-function decomposition of total factor productivity and the duality between input distance and cost functions. Utilizing a flexible Translog advertising distance function, the methodology is applied to the advertising activity of meat processing firms in Greece during the period 1983-1997. Scale economies in advertising expenses turn out …

De Maíz Vivo” La Siembra De Maíz En La Sierra Norte De Oaxaca, Holly Kingsbury
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Cuando uno se acerca al pueblo de Guelatao de Juárez en la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, México, al pasar el Río Grande se puede ver donde el huracán Stan destruyó muchas milpas. No obstante, es probable que esas milpas, y otras que se ve en el camino, estuvieran abandonadas mucho antes de que el huracán las tocó. En la Sierra Norte y en todo México, esas milpas representaron y todavía representan la vida y alimentación básica de los mexicanos: el maíz. El estadounidense común piensa que el maíz existe en una forma: lo que vemos sembrado en miles de hectáreas …

Análisis Del Desarrollo Sustentable En La Industria Del Salmón En Chile, Theresa Mohin
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The focus of this independent study project is sustainable development, in the context of the Chilean salmon industry. The project centers on the environmental impacts of the salmon business, from its introduction as a fledgling industry in the eighties, to its arrival as one of the most important exporting markets in the Chilean economy. The discussion focuses on the economic history of the salmon industry, its environmental consequences, and the role of the government in environmental regulation, to discover whether or not current environmental programs in place are in fact sustainable. I conclude that while the efforts of the Chilean …
Agroecology Of The Naso-Teribe: The Management And Conservation Of Traditional Agroecological Systems, Maisie Ganz
Agroecology Of The Naso-Teribe: The Management And Conservation Of Traditional Agroecological Systems, Maisie Ganz
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The term “agroecology” is used to describe the sustainable design and management of agricultural systems by the application of ecological concepts and principles. The resulting agroecosystems, often practiced by indigenous or poor farmers in marginal environments without access to external technologies, are systems of food production that integrate cultivated crops into surrounding ecosystems. The Naso-Teribe, an indigenous community of approximately 3,800 individuals living in the forests of western Panama, practice a complex agroecological system. The Naso farmers’ agricultural practices contribute to, and are dependent on, the biodiversity of resources available. The ways in which Naso farmers manage, maintain, and preserve …

La producción de café ha jugado un papel muy importante en la economía y cultura de Ecuador por casi dos siglos. La historia de café Ecuatoriano empiece con su introducción al país en la primera parte de los años 1800, y por la mayor parte del siglo XX, el café fue un principal fuente de exportación de Ecuador, que finalmente fue sustituido por el petróleo, el banano, el camarón (1). Desfortunademente, el renuncio del Acuerdo Internacional de Café, en 1989, afectó la producción de café en Ecuador profundamente. El país sufrió de sobre-producción del producto, mal administración, organizaciones débiles, una …
