Do Tax Incentives for Farmland Leases Increase Farm Supply? Evidence From Iowa's Beginning Farmer Tax Credit

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...

Compensated compactness for homogenization and reduction of dimension : The case of elastic laminates

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of this paper is to extend, to the linear elasticity system, the asymptotic analysis by compensated compactness previously developed by the authors for the linear diffusion equation. For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to stratified media.

A Skills Gap Analysis of Farmer Directors of US Farmer Cooperatives

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boards of directors are vital to firm performance and are an integral part of the decision‐making process of any business. Several studies have been conducted that observe corporate or nonprofit board characteristics, skills, and the board's connection to firm performance.

Uniform asymptotic approximations of integrals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this thesis uniform asymptotic approximations of integrals are discussed. In order to derive these approximations, two well-known methods are used i.e., the saddle point method and the Bleistein method.

Consumer Preferences for Craft Beer: The Interplay of Localness and Advertising Language

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the influence of the language of the label, origin of production, and origin of brewing ingredients on Croatian consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for organic craft beer. Employing an online survey and a choice experiment among 223 Croatian alcohol consumers, we find that while there's a willingness to pay a ...

Monte Carlo Simulation with Asymptotic Method (Published in "Journal of Japan Statistical Society", Vol.35-2, 171-203, 2005. ) [PDF]

open access: yes
We shall propose a new computational scheme with the asymptotic method to achieve variance reduction of Monte Carlo simulation for numerical analysis especially in finance. We not only provide general scheme of our method, but also show its effectiveness

An asymptotic analysis of the buckling of a highly shear resistant vesicle

open access: yes, 2009
The static compression between two smooth plates of an axisymmetric capsule or vesicle is investigated by means of asymptotic analysis. The governing equations of the vesicle are derived from thin-shell theory and involve a bending stiffness B, a shear ...

Heterogeneity in Food Price Inflation Convergence Across the EU: Evidence From Club Dynamics and Structural Breaks

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines food price inflation rate convergence among EU27 Member States from 2005 to 2024, focusing on structural breaks, external shocks, and regional disparities. Using panel unit root tests and club convergence analysis, the findings reveal no overall convergence but identify multiple convergence clubs.
