Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Consumer Health Perceptions of Cows' Milk and Plant‐Based Milk Alternatives

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study used a best‐worst scale experiment to reveal consumers' beliefs about the healthiness of selected cows' milk and plant‐based milk products based on their nutrition panels. We find that while there is heterogeneity in health perceptions, consumers overwhelmingly select skim milk as the healthiest milk product. Additionally, the cows'

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Foreign Language Learning in Older Adults Modifies Resting‐State Functional Connectivity Between the Subcortical Structures and the Cortex

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Foreign language learning in older adults reorganizes thalamic and caudate connectivity, in a process topographically overlapping with the expression of receptors and genes related to neuroplasticity. ABSTRACT Objectives Neuroimaging studies suggest that Foreign Language Learning (FLL) influences resting‐state functional connectivity (rs‐FC) within the

Swedish farmers' approval of nudges

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Interest in the use of behavioral policy approaches, such as nudges, has strongly increased over the past years, including in the domains of food, agricultural and environmental policies. While the approval of nudges among the general public has been studied extensively, we know little about the attitude of farmers toward nudging. Farmers may (
