The Skills And Training Needed By Farm Management Researchers In The Future: Discussion, Douglas Franklin May 1993

The Skills And Training Needed By Farm Management Researchers In The Future: Discussion, Douglas Franklin

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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 (1969 - 2017)

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 Feb 1993

Asean-4: Agricultural Diversification In The 1990s, Donald Taylor

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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 Feb 1993

Determining A "Fair" Beef Cow Lease Agreement When Risk Is Considered, Dillon Feuz

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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 Jan 1993

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 …

Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor Dec 1992

Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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 Sep 1992

Differences In Longitudinal Union Relative Wage Effects Across Gender And Race, Dwight Adamnson

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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 …

Divestiture, By-Pass, Entry, Cross Subsidization: Conflicting Forces In The Deregulation Of The South Dakota Telecommunications Market, Dwight Adamnson, Jack Triweiler Sep 1992

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 (1969 - 2017)

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.

An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti Sep 1992

An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

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.

Economic Impact Of Livestock Grazing And Recreation On The Ft. Pierre National Grasslands, Martin Beutler

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

As a result of the Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) effort on the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands (FPNG). I was asked to provide an economic analysis of livestock grazing and recreation and demonstrate the importance of each to the Ft. Pierre region. Data used in this analysis consist of actual Animal Unit Months (AUMs) of grazing on the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands as provided by the Central South Dakota Cooperative Grazing District, and information from reports published by the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the S.D. Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. The model used to determine the …
