Rare‐Earth Yttrium Doping Advances High‐Performance AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Y‐doped AgSbTe2 achieves band and microstructure co‐optimization, with coherent Y‐Ag2Te interfaces enhancing phonon scattering and reducing lattice thermal conductivity to 0.26 W m−1 K−1. Combined with valence‐band broadening and increased carrier concentration, this yields ZT ≈ 2 at 623 K, average ZT = 1.5, and 7.3 % conversion efficiency of a single ...

Applied 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 ...

Measuring Nutrition Security Using the Consumer Food Data System Datasets
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nutrition security is an emerging concept lacking a consensus definition, conceptualization, or standardized measure. This perspectives manuscript synthesizes findings from two previously published analyses to assess the feasibility of using available measures of key dimensions of nutrition security from two Consumer Food Data System (CFDS ...

Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

Crop Insurance Design and On‐Farm Risk Adaptation
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The United States spends billions annually on crop insurance premium subsidies, yet the prevailing distance‐based guarantee design unintentionally rewards risk‐taking by linking subsidies to yield variability. We consider a simple redesign: define guarantees in terms of probability so that coverage reflects a consistent likelihood of indemnity.

On the Economics of US Agricultural Policy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of US agricultural policy, building on a modified version of Gardner's efficient redistribution. We argue that agricultural policy is motivated as an attempt to implement an efficient redistribution scheme that redistributes income toward farmers who, as a group, have been adversely affected by ...

Business Process Modeling: Blueprinting
CoRR, 2017 This paper presents a flow-based methodology for capturing processes specified in business process modeling. The proposed methodology is demonstrated through re-modeling of an IBM Blueworks case study. While the Blueworks approach offers a well-proven tool in the field, this should not discourage workers from exploring other ways of thinking about ...

Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...
