Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Taste hedonics influence the disposition of fat by modulating gastric emptying in rats.
PLoS ONE, 2014 We investigated how preferred and nonpreferred tastes influence the disposition of fat. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were infused with 5 ml of 20% intralipid through an intragastric catheter and with 0.3 ml of a taste solution through an intraoral ...

Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...

A midbrain circuit for high-fat-food induced conditioned taste aversion
Nature CommunicationsConditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a survival mechanism that prevents consumption of harmful foods. Yet its neural circuits, especially those for solid food aversion, are poorly understood.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012 Taste memory depends on motivational and post-ingestional consequences; thus, it can be aversive (e.g., conditioned taste aversion, CTA) if a novel, palatable taste is paired with visceral malaise, or it can be appetitive if no intoxication appears after

Ghrelin modulates lateral amygdala neuronal firing and blocks acquisition for conditioned taste aversion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ghrelin is an orexigenic brain-gut hormone promoting feeding and regulating energy metabolism in human and rodents. An increasing number of studies have reported that ghrelin and its identified receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS ...

Who Are the Consumers of European Farmers' Markets? A Cross‐Country Analysis
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With substantial growth in the number of farmers' markets (FMs) in developed countries, the number of consumers visiting FMs is also increasing. This study comparatively assesses the consumers of FMs in three European countries where FMs traditionally play a distinctive role in food supply chains.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Both social environment and genetic factors are critical for smoking initiation and nicotine addiction. We reported that rats developed conditioned flavor (i.e., taste and odor) aversion to intravenously self-administered (IVSA) nicotine, and that social
