Implications Of Tomorrow's Environment For Agricultural Economics Programs In Different-Sized Departments And For Non-Land Grant Universities, Ardelle Lundeen
Implications Of Tomorrow's Environment For Agricultural Economics Programs In Different-Sized Departments And For Non-Land Grant Universities, Ardelle Lundeen
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper focuses on trends in five areas which appear to have significant implications for the future of agricultural economics departments: population changes, changes in the structure of agriculture, the advent of the information society/computer age, work force changes, and changes in higher education. I believe trends in these areas have already affected agricultural economics departments and will continue to do so.

Deregulation And Trade Liberalization: The Indonesia Reform Program, Scott Fausti, Rony Bishry
Deregulation And Trade Liberalization: The Indonesia Reform Program, Scott Fausti, Rony Bishry
Economics Staff Paper Series
Beginning in the early 1980s, Indonesia embarked on the most comprehensive trade liberalization program in its history. The long-term goal of the reform program is to replace Indonesia's industrial development strategy of import substitution industrialization with one of export oriented industrial growth. The issues to be discussed in this paper are: 1) the historical context from which the current liberalization program evolved, 2) the recent reform measures implemented by the Indonesian government, 3) the pattern of liberalization with respect to the sequencing and speed of reforms, and 4) the successes and failures of the new trade regime.

The Effects Of Uncertainty On Market Structure: The South Dakota Slaughter Cattle Market, Scott Fausti, Dillon Feuz
Economics Staff Paper Series
In terms of population and income, South Dakota is a small, rural state relative to the rest of the nation. South Dakota's 1992 Gross State Product (GSP) was roughly 12 billion dollars, which implies South Dakota contributes .2% toward U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The agricultural sector of the South Dakota economy contributed approximately 10% to GSP in 1992. The beef industry is the largest agricultural subsector in the state. In 1992, it generated 1.3 billion dollars in marketing revenue and produced approximately 41% of agriculture's contribution to GSP. The importance of the beef industry to the South Dakota's economy …

The Effect Of Enforcement And Taxes In A Joint Export, Scott Fausti
The Effect Of Enforcement And Taxes In A Joint Export, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper proposes a model of joint product smuggling which explicitly examines the roles of uncertainty, enforcement, taxes, and the magnitude of a real resource cost in determining the firm's decision to smuggle and smuggling's impact on welfare and tax revenue collection. A framework is presented in which: 1) the tax rate, 2) the level of government enforcement, and 3) the real resource cost are analyzed to determine their impact on a firm's decision to smuggle or engage in strictly legal trade. The results derived in the paper indicate that the implied policy solution for the smuggling problem arrived at …

Beef Cattle Producer "Sustainability" And "Organic” Indices, Donald Taylor, Dillon Feuz
Beef Cattle Producer "Sustainability" And "Organic” Indices, Donald Taylor, Dillon Feuz
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper covers one component of a research project aimed at exploring the sustainability of beef cattle production in South Dakota. In this exploratory research, farmers/ranchers who follow alternative "near-organic" production practices are being studied in relation to farmers/ranchers who follow "mainstream" production practices. The study is being accomplished through comparisons of four "matching" pairs of "near-organic" and "mainstream" case study farms/ranches, with the members of each pair being as similar as possible in size-of-operation, types of cattle, natural and economic resources, and overall farm management levels. The comparisons involve both physical and economic measures of production. To determine farmers/ranchers …

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 joint export smuggling model to investigate the welfare effect of illegal transactions. 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 reexamined 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 …

The Skills And Training Needed By Farm Management Researchers In The Future: Discussion, Douglas Franklin
The Skills And Training Needed By Farm Management Researchers In The Future: Discussion, Douglas Franklin
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper discusses Loren Tauer's paper entitled "The Skills and Training Needed by Farm Management researches in the Future. "To discuss the skills and training needed in the future, the priorities identified for the future are to be specified to indicate the direction training may need to be focused. As noted English novelist-playwright and Nobel Prize winner John Galsworthy stated, “If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. "Thus, this paper is a forward looking paper in that regard, thinking about the future so that we can focus on a direction. However, Alan Greenspan has pulled …

Results Of Economics Department Alumni Survey, Ziahong Yu, Ardelle Lundeen
Economics Staff Paper Series
In 1989, the Economics Department conducted a survey of its alumni. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 750 alumni who graduated between the years of 1978 and 1988. The response rate was 44% (329 responses). The objective of the survey was to provide the SDSU Economics Department with information on how well the curriculum had prepared graduates for their careers and subsequent employment experiences. The survey information will be used to modify the curriculum, as needed, to improve the quality of education and career preparation for students graduating with majors from the Economics Department.

Asean-4: Agricultural Diversification In The 1990s, Donald Taylor
Asean-4: Agricultural Diversification In The 1990s, Donald Taylor
Economics Staff Paper Series
Agricultural "diversification" is a prominent theme in ASEAN-4 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand) today. Since formulation of Indonesia's First 5-Year Development Plan in 1969, the four primary concepts guiding the country's development have been intensification, extensification, rehabilitation, and diversification. In the Fifth Plan (1989-94), diversification was shifted up to top priority (Kasryno, et al., 1992, 1; Saroso, 1991, 184). Malaysia's policies for export diversification have resulted in the value added from tin and rubber relative to the total value of primary exports decreasing from 63% in 1970 to 15% in 1990 (Yaacob, 1992, 4). Within agriculture, Malaysia has adopted policies …

Determining A "Fair" Beef Cow Lease Agreement When Risk Is Considered, Dillon Feuz
Determining A "Fair" Beef Cow Lease Agreement When Risk Is Considered, Dillon Feuz
Economics Staff Paper Series
This publication is intended to illustrate a method of determining a fair lease agreement. The budget and coefficients were representative of a particular resource base in 1989. Individual producers may have very different costs and production coefficients for their cow herds. As author, I do not wish to imply that lease agreements should be based on the same proportion of receipts as depicted in this example budget. There also is an example of a written lease agreement in an appendix at the end of the manuscript. This is only an example to illustrate the type of issues the two parties …
Analysis And Forecasting Of Seasonal Changes In Cash Prices For Corn, Wheat, And Oats Grown In South Dakota, Prashobh Karunakaran
Analysis And Forecasting Of Seasonal Changes In Cash Prices For Corn, Wheat, And Oats Grown In South Dakota, Prashobh Karunakaran
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The overall objective of this study is to identify the seasonal patterns in S.D. cash prices (received by farmers) for corn, wheat, and oats. Seasonality in S.D. cash prices may be different from the seasonality in the U.S. cash prices for a commodity. The reasons for this may be differences in the seasonal supply and demand for the commodity and the supply and demand for substitutes. The availability and price of storage and transportation can also have substantial impact on regional commodity price seasonality. Therefore, it is important that the relationship between the seasonal fluctuations in S.D. cash prices and …
