South Dakota Beef Cow-Calf Producer Management Practices, Donald Taylor, Dillon M. Feuz
Economics Research Reports
This research report is based on the results of a mail survey of randomly selected South Dakota beef cow-calf operators undertaken during late 1991. The purpose of the survey was to determine the nature of management practices followed by the state's cow-calf producers and whether those practices differ by size and/or location of herd. Attention was given to producers' overall cowcalf, breeding, feeding, and health management practices.

Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor
Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor
Economics Staff Paper Series
This article focuses on personal values and beliefs that critically underlie the "sustainable development" controversy and on the implications of those values and beliefs to personal and professional decision-making. The issues are presented through two contrasting paradigms: a "modern scientific worldview" (MSW) and a "sustainable development worldview" (SDW). MSW is intended to characterize the perspectives of most current-day academics, development practitioners, businessmen, and everyday citizens. SDW characterizes those disenchanted with MSW. Their disenchantment arises from concerns over possible adverse long-term implications of decisions arising from MSW which tend to be dominated by relatively immediate, narrowly based, and self-interested considerations. The …

Differences In Longitudinal Union Relative Wage Effects Across Gender And Race, Dwight Adamnson
Differences In Longitudinal Union Relative Wage Effects Across Gender And Race, Dwight Adamnson
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper utilizes longitudinal union variables to examine the gender differences in the wage change from entering and leaving the union sector, as well as gender differences from remaining with a union employer and advancing up the seniority ladder. The union effects are estimated over a time trend from the late 19608 to the early 19808. The empirical results show that the female union joiner effect declines over time while the magnitude of the male union effect remains fairly stable over time. In general, the results show that unions' ability to impact wages for all white workers and black female …
Deregulation And Trade Liberalization: The Indonesian Experience, Scott Fausti, Rony Bishry
Deregulation And Trade Liberalization: The Indonesian Experience, Scott Fausti, Rony Bishry
Economics Staff Paper Series
From 1950 to 1965, Indonesia followed an import substitution industrialization development strategy. From 1966 to the present, Indonesia has moved toward an export oriented development strategy. This paper tests the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson(HOS) model of international trade by comparing Indonesia's economic performance under two contrasting development strategies. The paper concludes that Indonesia• s economic performance under the opposing development strategies supports the predictions of the HOS model. Furthermore, the Indonesian experience under the two development strategies supports the "trade as an engine of growth" hypothesis.
Divestiture, By-Pass, Entry, Cross Subsidization: Conflicting Forces In The Deregulation Of The South Dakota Telecommunications Market, Dwight Adamnson, Jack Triweiler
Divestiture, By-Pass, Entry, Cross Subsidization: Conflicting Forces In The Deregulation Of The South Dakota Telecommunications Market, Dwight Adamnson, Jack Triweiler
Economics Staff Paper Series
This study reviews the impact the divestiture of AT&T had on the South Dakota telecommunications market, and explains the technological changes that have occurred and how these changes have been translated into lower costs. The South Dakota telecommunications market is examined under the scenarios: 1) fully regulated; 2) partial regulation; and 3) unregulated market. ARIMA procedures are used to forecast changes in revenues under the two different regulatory schemes. The degree of contestability of the South Dakota Telecommunications market is investigated to determine if competitions is suitable for the unregulated scenario. The study argues that the market is competitive.
Retained Ownership Revisited: The Economic Significance Of Genetic Variability, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Larry Held
Retained Ownership Revisited: The Economic Significance Of Genetic Variability, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Larry Held
Economics Staff Paper Series
Genetic and biological variability of calves placed into different retained ownership programs are examined. The genetic ability to grade choice is a critical factor influencing profitability of retaining calves to a slaughter weight. Weaning weight influences the type of retained ownership program for which a calf will be most profitable.
An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti
An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Four alternative marketing methods for slaughter cattle were analyzed and empirically examined for pricing efficiency. Profits per head were found to be significantly different under the various marketing methods. Greater price discrimination occurred as carcass information increased. Increased price discrimination led to greater dispersion of profit from one marketing method to another. Different marketing methods appeared to send different production signals to producers. The desires of the consumer for less fat and a high quality product did not appear to be reaching the producers in the form of profit incentives under the most widely used marketing method.
The Effect Of Uncertainty On A Joint Product Model Of Smuggling, Scott Fausti
The Effect Of Uncertainty On A Joint Product Model Of Smuggling, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Extending the seminal work of Bhagwati and Hansen (1973) on smuggling, Pitt (1981) developed a new approach to investigate the welfare effect of smuggling. This paper develops an extension of Pitt's original model which allows many of the interesting features of the Bhagwati and Hansen model to be revaluated within a joint product model of smuggling framework. The extension is made through the following modifications to Pitt's assumptions: 1) firms that export are free to engage in joint product smuggling or strictly legal trade; and 2) uncertainty is introduced into the model via active government enforcement. The modifications enable the …
Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti
Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Introductory statistics textbooks typically develop the concept of continuous random variables with a discussion of only the variables' probability distribution function and omit any discussion of the cumulative distribution function. The cumulative distribution function, however, is useful in developing the concepts of a normal distribution, the standard normal distribution and the probability of a continuous random variable falls within a specific range of values since the standard normal statistical table is derived from the cumulative distribution function. This paper develops a simple graphical relationship between a continuous random variables' cumulative distribution function and its probability distribution function that can be …

Sunflower Seeds In Dairy Cattle Rations, David J. Schingoethe
Sunflower Seeds In Dairy Cattle Rations, David J. Schingoethe
SDSU Extension Extra Archives
Feeding whole sunflower seeds to dairy cattle as a way to increase the energy content of the diet of high-producing dairy cows may boost milk production by three to eight percent. That is the same kind of increase you can expect from feeding other sources of fat such as soybeans, cottonseed, tallow, or dry fat products. Use as a cattle feed also provides an alternative market outlet for sunflower seeds, especially if you are confronted with low market prices or damaged seeds.

Intergenerational, Farm And Ranch Family Management, Lynette J. Olson
SDSU Extension Extra Archives
Farming and ranching today are complex. Changes in crop and livestock production, an international flavor to marketing, as well as ongoing economic struggles, challenge farm and ranch families to manage ever-increasing stress loads. Now more than ever, it is difficult for young farmers and ranchers to “strike out on their own.” Most farms and ranches are passed from generation to generation. Modern farming and ranching require sucha tremendous investment that young adult children often get started by joining their parents’ operation.

The farm management tools of today appear to be mostly cash-flow sheets, computers, and other high-tech devices that allow South Dakota farmers and ranchers to minimize their risks and operate for one more season. Nevertheless, a farmer faces a greater risk every day, one that he tends to forget about until it happens. It is a risk of a farm accident or an occupational illness. Fortunately, these times are also high-tech times for personal protection. There are safety devices, protective clothing, and much information available to help us avoid or minimize the risk.

Water Institutional Structure In The Upper Midwest, Douglas Franklin, John R. Powers, Ardelle Lundeen
Water Institutional Structure In The Upper Midwest, Douglas Franklin, John R. Powers, Ardelle Lundeen
Economics Research Reports
The upper Great Plains and Mountain States of the United States use a substantial quantity of water. Primary uses are irrigation, domestic, and industrial. The amount of water used is increasing as population grows, as more users exercise water rights, as farmers implement the use of irrigation to reduce risk, and as the states' economies become more diverse. Within the Upper Midwest, there is both geographic and temporal variability of water supply, resulting in various degrees of scarcity relative to the quantities demanded. The allocation method for the available water must be appropriate for these variations.
