Rent Gradient Of A College Town, George Langelett, Kuo-Liang Chang, Ekaterina Koromyslova, Charles Appiah Feb 2013

Rent Gradient Of A College Town, George Langelett, Kuo-Liang Chang, Ekaterina Koromyslova, Charles Appiah

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Metropolitan areas exhibit a rent gradient based on the distance from the Central Business District (CBD). By contrast to metropolitan models, Brookings, SD, is a traditional college town and home to South Dakota State University. The city also has a vibrant business district located on Main Avenue. Based on model construction from previous research, data gathered from rental units in Brookings were analyzed and compared. According to the empirical results, a rent gradient exists around campus rather than the traditional CBD.

Energy In The Corn Belt: Is Maize Production Sustainable?, Matthew Bernau Jan 2013

Energy In The Corn Belt: Is Maize Production Sustainable?, Matthew Bernau

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Technological and scientific innovation has transformed agricultural production. Corn production methods changed from a sustainable, nutrient recycling production system to one reliant on imported fossil energy inputs. Located in the Western Corn Belt, Union County, South Dakota was chosen as the study area. Changes in production methods are represented by four technological epochs: 1) The Draft Horse Epoch, 1890-1920; 2) The Tractor Epoch, 1920-1950; 3) The Fertilizer Epoch, 1950-1980; and 4) The Biotechnology and Precision Agriculture Epoch, 1980-2010. The energy budget method was used to measure the energy sustainability of corn production. The findings show that the volume of corn …

Alternative Annual Forage Crop Options For Northern Great Plains Cattle Producers: A South Dakota Case Study, Md Parvez, Scott Fausti, Thandiwe Nleya, Patricia Johnson, Kenneth Olsen, John Rickertsen Aug 2012

Alternative Annual Forage Crop Options For Northern Great Plains Cattle Producers: A South Dakota Case Study, Md Parvez, Scott Fausti, Thandiwe Nleya, Patricia Johnson, Kenneth Olsen, John Rickertsen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

In the Northern Great Plains region, crop and livestock producers view forage crop production as an important component of their farm management system. During periods of increased environmental risk, alternative annual forage crops may provide producers with a risk reducing alternative to traditional forage crops. An alternative forage crop production study (20 varieties) was conducted by South Dakota State University. Production yield data was analyzed using alternative decision making criteria when outcomes are uncertain. Empirical results provide insight on forage crop planting decisions with respect to the importance of optimal harvest timing, and the ranking of alternative forage crops as …


Risk And Marketing Behavior: Pricing Fed Cattle On A Grid, Scott Fausti, Zhiguang Wang, Beshir Qasmi, Matthew A. Diersen Jul 2012

Risk And Marketing Behavior: Pricing Fed Cattle On A Grid, Scott Fausti, Zhiguang Wang, Beshir Qasmi, Matthew A. Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

A seven year comparative study of grid pricing versus average pricing of slaughter cattle was conducted to evaluate carcass quality market signals. The primary objective of the study is to determine if market signals sent through the grid pricing system are encouraging producers to market on a grid and discouraging them to market by the pen. Two secondary objectives investigate: 1) if price risk associated with carcass quality uncertainty affects marketing decisions, and 2) if a change in price risk (volatility) affects producer marketing decisions. An EARCH-ln-Mean modeling procedure was adopted. Empirical results suggest that the grid premium and discount …

Optimizing University Managed Resources For South Dakota Public Universities: A Simulation Approach, Michael Holbeck, David Chicoine Nov 2011

Optimizing University Managed Resources For South Dakota Public Universities: A Simulation Approach, Michael Holbeck, David Chicoine

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

A simulation analysis demonstrates the use of tuition as a policy tool to achieve financial independence among the six South Dakota public universities under University Managed Resources (UMR). The simulation analysis maintains an overall environment of funding stability and is guided by horizontal equity, a concept from the economics of public finance that all entities of the same or similar situation are treated similarly. Financial independence, within the simulation analysis, is defined as an annual budgeting process with no reallocation of financial resources among or between the six universities. For each of the three indicators of horizontal equity simulated, achieving …

Farmland Leasing In South Dakota 2011: Emphasis On Share Lease Arrangements, Nelly Bourlion, Larry Janssen, Burton Pflueger Aug 2011

Farmland Leasing In South Dakota 2011: Emphasis On Share Lease Arrangements, Nelly Bourlion, Larry Janssen, Burton Pflueger

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Farmland leasing is an important source of capital and method of controlling land resources in production agriculture allowing land owners and tenants flexibility to enhance, maintain or expand their income-generating capacity. In this report, we (1) provide information on the importance of farmland leasing in South Dakota, and (2) update information on crop-share leasing and hay-share leasing arrangements in South Dakota, based on a survey conducted in 2011. Farmland leasing is important in South Dakota where over 70% of farm operators are involved in farmland leasing and nearly two-fifths of agricultural land acres are leased. Leased farmland acres comprise even …

Uncertainty And Producer Fed Cattle Marketing Decisions: Theory And Evidence, Scott Fausti, Brent Lange Apr 2011

Uncertainty And Producer Fed Cattle Marketing Decisions: Theory And Evidence, Scott Fausti, Brent Lange

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The effect of carcass quality uncertainty on the structure of the slaughter cattle market is investigated. A theoretical extension of the “Theory of Factor Price Disparity” is provided. It is demonstrated that the coexistence of a risk premium wedge between pricing mechanisms (live wt., dressed wt., and grid) in conjunction with varying degrees of risk aversion across fed cattle producers explains the coexistence of multiple pricing mechanisms. It is also demonstrated that risk and risk preference provides a plausible explanation for the structure of the fed cattle market and for the variability in slaughter volume across marketing channels. Empirical evidence …
