Economic Issues Of Groundwater Management, B. Gardner Delworth
Economic Issues Of Groundwater Management, B. Gardner Delworth
Faculty Publications
This is a coaceptual rather than an empirical paper with the primary focus on raising a set of economic issues faced by any authority charged with managing a groundwater aquifer. I will utilize the technique of making simplifying, albeit unrealistic, assumptions in order to establish easily and clearly the relevant economic principles. Some of the assumptions will be relaxed later to achieve greater realism. It is assumed that the hydrologic dimensions of the groundwater system are known and that the management authority has the power to enforce whatever rules it deems appropriate. There are a host of problems associated with …

Some Issues In Teaching Agricultural Economics To Foreign Graduate Students, B. Gardner Delworth
Some Issues In Teaching Agricultural Economics To Foreign Graduate Students, B. Gardner Delworth
Faculty Publications
Several words in the title help set the scope of the paper. My concern is with the training of students from foreign countries, generally those best characterized as less developed countries (LCD's). These students come to the United States to be trained as professional economists and I assume will spend a career researching problems related to agriculture.
A Theoretical Framework For Analyzing Residence Shifts Of Farm Families, B. Delworth Gardner
A Theoretical Framework For Analyzing Residence Shifts Of Farm Families, B. Delworth Gardner
Faculty Publications
The ever-changing composition of the American rural population is an established fact and has been the subject of much research. Urban families are moving o the ''country" to escape the noise and congestion of the city, While the migration of people from the farm to urban centers continues . The net result is a decrease in rural population relative to that classified as urban, although in absolute terms the rural population is increasing also. In 1969 less than 30 per cent of all American were classed as rural residents compared to 60 percent in 1900 and 95 percent in 1790.

A Proposal To Reduce Misallocation Of Livestock Grazing Permits, B. Gardner Delworth
A Proposal To Reduce Misallocation Of Livestock Grazing Permits, B. Gardner Delworth
Faculty Publications
The federal government owns about 400 million acres of land in the eleven western states. Almost 350 million acres are administered by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. In times past most of this land has been used for grazing by domestic livestock. Only approximately 60 million acres of forest range are presently grazed by livestock, while about 160 million acres of "district" land, administered by the BLM, are grazed.
