Consumer Valuation of Meat Alternatives and Labeling Policies: A Comparative Perspective

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates and compares US consumer perceptions and the impact of environmental, human health, and animal welfare information related to conventional meat on preferences for meat alternatives and labeling policies. Using the best–worst scaling method across 10 different burger alternatives, our results show that the meat burger is

Does modeling causal relationships improve the accuracy of predicting lactation milk yields?

JDS Communications, 2023
This study compared 3 correlational (best prediction, linear regression, and feed-forward neural networks) and 2 causal models (recursive structural equation model and recurrent neural networks) for estimating lactation milk yields.

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'

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Daily milk yield correction factors: What are they?

JDS Communications, 2023
Cows are typically milked 2 or more times on a test-day, but not all these milkings are sampled and weighed. The initial approach estimated a test-day yield with doubled morning (AM) or evening (PM) yield in the AM-PM milking plans, assuming equal AM and
