Identifying Beneficial Attributes Of Water Management Organizations, Craig Charles Kritsky Jan 2007

Identifying Beneficial Attributes Of Water Management Organizations, Craig Charles Kritsky

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

Water Management Organizations (WMOs) have evolved from their inception in the early 1900s and continue to evolve today. Recently, WMOs have increased their awareness of water-quality and environmental issues. WMOs evolve at different rates due to local social, economic, and political norms. The Red River creates the border for Minnesota and North Dakota. This makes the Red River Basin ideal for WMO and institutional research. The objective of this research is to identify the characteristics of WMOs that are more successful at adopting activities considered positive to local water management as well as basin management. These activities include collaboration and …


A Game Theory Analysis Of Firm Reaction To External Organizational Demands: The Case Of Animal Welfare Standards, Sheril Sherine Tzul Jan 2007

A Game Theory Analysis Of Firm Reaction To External Organizational Demands: The Case Of Animal Welfare Standards, Sheril Sherine Tzul

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

There has been increasing public concern about farm animal welfare regarding transportation, slaughter, and some management practices, especially in systems where animals are confined for most of their existence. Animal welfare organizations (groups) have traditionally focused on forwarding their agendas through legislation, although more recent attempts have focused on convincing large firms that buy agricultural commodities to require particular production process standards to be met. The strategic interactions of players in the egg industry are modeled using a game theory approach. Two scenarios were explored: a principal-agent contract model between food firms and farmers, and a model where two firms …


Offsetting Behavior And The Benefits Of Food Safety Policies In Vegetable Preparation And Consumption, Elvis Mokake Ndembe Jan 2007

Offsetting Behavior And The Benefits Of Food Safety Policies In Vegetable Preparation And Consumption, Elvis Mokake Ndembe

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

Foodbome disease outbreaks have a tremendous impact on society, including foodbome illnesses, hospitalizations, lost work time, and deaths. These food-safety events have a significant influence in shaping consumers' perception of risk. Outbreaks of foodbome illnesses also have an effect on the development of public health policy. Due to these safety-related uncertainties in the food supply chain, various regulatory, safety, and health policies are implemented to decrease harm to potential victims. The total effect of such food-safety policies looked at in terms of reduction of foodbome illness, mortality, and food-related diseases may possibly be smaller than the forecasted effect because of …


Economic Feasibility Of Producing Ethanol From Dry Pea And Corn As Feedstock In North Dakota: A Risk Perspective, Abhishek Goel Jan 2007

Economic Feasibility Of Producing Ethanol From Dry Pea And Corn As Feedstock In North Dakota: A Risk Perspective, Abhishek Goel

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

Dry pea has the potential to be an economical replacement for com in North Dakota ethanol plants. Dry pea costs of production are less than com because fewer purchased inputs are required and because dry pea offers a number of rotational benefits in small grain crop rotations. Dry pea can also thrive in arid regions of western North Dakota where annual rainfall is low. This study develops stochastic economic models to evaluate the replacement potential of dry pea for com as an ethanol feedstock. Results find that plant efficiency increases and input supply risks are reduced when dry pea replaces …


An Econometric Analysis Of Cost Changes In U.S. Trucking And The Implications Of Implementing The Nafta Trucking Provisions, Erica Kay Peterson Jan 2007

An Econometric Analysis Of Cost Changes In U.S. Trucking And The Implications Of Implementing The Nafta Trucking Provisions, Erica Kay Peterson

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

The United States trucking industry underwent deregulation starting in 1980. There was much opposition to the process in fears that trucking companies would be adversely affected by increased competition. There were also many proponents and researchers who proved that the increased competition due to regulatory reform only helped strengthen the industry by forcing firms to become more cost efficient. There has been similar opposition and support for the trucking provisions of NAFTA. Although the provisions have not been fully implemented, the trucking industry is well aware it will only be a matter of time. In early 2002 it was announced …


A Reference Price Model Of Sugar Consumption With Implications On Obesity, Cary Marshall Effertz Jan 2007

A Reference Price Model Of Sugar Consumption With Implications On Obesity, Cary Marshall Effertz

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

Obesity has increased dramatically in the past 25 years. The consumption of added sugar has increased significantly during the same time period. Previous research indicates a direct correlation between the consumption of added sugar and the prevalence of obesity. Sugar has been identified in multiple studies as having addictive or opiate-like qualities. Unquestionably, added sugar consumption has contributed to the current obesity epidemic. Here, we apply a reference price economic model to attempt to describe sugar consumption. Using consumption and price data from the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, we made a reference price estimation …


Going Private At The Intersection Of The Market And The Law, Faith Stevelman Jan 2007

Going Private At The Intersection Of The Market And The Law, Faith Stevelman

Articles & Chapters

Delaware's fiduciary doctrine governing going private transactions by controlling stockholders is presently in disarray. Controllers generally select between single step cash-out mergers and tender offers followed by short-form mergers to do these freezeouts, and they are subject to very different equitable standards depending on the format selected. Further disarray arises because the courts' longstanding commitment to strict scrutiny in freezeouts is in tension with the popular disfavor towards private class-action litigation. This disarray threatens minority investors' interests in freezeouts, and capital market values more broadly. First, the disparities in freezeout doctrine have encouraged controllers to arbitrage the legal standards for …


Stakeholder Preferences For Water Quality Alternatives In The Red River Basin, David Randal Torpen Jan 2007

Stakeholder Preferences For Water Quality Alternatives In The Red River Basin, David Randal Torpen

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

The objective of this research is to estimate stakeholder preferences for management alternatives within the Red River of the North basin. Specifically, this thesis analyzes preferences related to water quality, water-based recreation, water supply, and institution. Results are estimated using choice experiments. Data show that residents are willing to pay approximately $84 per year for wetland restoration, $76 per year for additional bike trails, and $117 for enhanced fishery management. Taken to an aggregate level of all counties with land in the basin, willingness to pay is approximately $24 million for wetlands, $22 million for bike trails, and $34 million …


The Impact Of Multilateral Trade Association Membership On Agricultural And Food Trade, Shahera Diane Mckoy Jan 2007

The Impact Of Multilateral Trade Association Membership On Agricultural And Food Trade, Shahera Diane Mckoy

Agribusiness and Applied Economics

This thesis models trade flows between countries as a function of several variables, including those representing membership in multilateral trade agreements (MTAs). The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of trade policies, trading costs, trade agreements and other demographic characteristics on exports of food and agriculture products. More specifically, the paper uses a gravity model augmented with three sets of dummy variables to estimate the impact of 13 trade arrangements on intra-bloc and extra-bloc trade. Results indicate that several MTAs enhance intra-bloc trading at the expense of non-members while others have been successful at increasing both intra-bloc …
