The Risk Of Public Data Availability On Critical Infrastructure Protection, Roba Abbas
The Risk Of Public Data Availability On Critical Infrastructure Protection, Roba Abbas
Dr Roba Abbas
This paper examines the threat of freely available information on critical infrastructure protection (CIP) efforts. Critical infrastructure are the services required to maintain the stability and security of a country, and comprise both physical and cyber infrastructures. These interdependent entities must be protected from natural disasters, accidental errors, and deliberate attacks. The CIP process typically includes vulnerability assessment, risk assessment and risk management, and has been a global concern for many years; the concern now amplified in Australia due to a number of recent events such the 9/11 attacks, and the Bali bombings. The events have called into question the …

Beyond Risk: Emplacement And The Production Of Environmental Evidence , Joshua Reno
Joshua Reno
I offer a counterpoint to the prevailing risk literature that focuses not on (mis)perceptions of danger but on the production and circulation of different forms of evidence and the environmental claims they promote. Rather than reproduce the epistemic dichotomies associated with risk discourse, I discuss attempts by waste-industry technicians, government inspectors, lawyers, area residents, and activists to generate persuasive accounts of a large, U.S. landfill and its porous boundaries. I argue that the differential influence of their various claims is best understood by examining what it means to know and care for a place.

Fairness And The Willingness To Accept Plea Bargain Offers, Avishalom Tor
Fairness And The Willingness To Accept Plea Bargain Offers, Avishalom Tor
Avishalom Tor
In contrast with the common assumption in the plea bargaining literature, we show fairness-related concerns systematically impact defendants' preferences and judgments. In the domain of preference, innocents are less willing to accept plea offers (WTAP) than guilty defendants and all defendants reject otherwise attractive offers that appear comparatively unfair. We also show that defendants who are uncertain of their culpability exhibit egocentrically biased judgments and reject plea offers as if they were innocent. The article concludes by briefly discussing the normative implications of these findings.

Sharing Financial Risk Through Flexible Farm Lease Agreements, William M. Edwards, Chad E. Hart
Sharing Financial Risk Through Flexible Farm Lease Agreements, William M. Edwards, Chad E. Hart
William Edwards
A simulation model representing a north central U.S. corn and soybean farm was used to estimate the degree of financial risk borne by the tenant and the landlord under 10 different types of flexible cash leases. Probability distributions for yields, prices and production costs were incorporated. Measures of risk included standard deviation of profits, probability of loss, and 10th percentile value at risk. A profit sharing lease that included rent adjustments for all three variables shifted the most risk from the tenant to the landowner, and reduced the tenant's probability of incurring an economic loss from 51 percent to 37 …

Iowa Farmers' Decisions To Enroll In The Average Crop Revenue Election (Acre) Program, William M. Edwards
Iowa Farmers' Decisions To Enroll In The Average Crop Revenue Election (Acre) Program, William M. Edwards
William Edwards
In 2009 Iowa farmers who had at least some land enrolled in the existing DCP program offered by FSA were given the opportunity to switch to an alternative called ACRE. Despite having access to information about the program and utilizing electronic decision aids, only 27.5% of the operators surveyed enrolled at least one farm in ACRE. Those who did enroll cited a desire for more risk protection and a belief that payments from ACRE would exceed the value of the direct payments they had to give up. The primary reasons operators gave for not enrolling were the program was too …
