Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

Income sharing for common pool resources with uncertain productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the interconnected issues of externalities in the use of a natural common‐pool resource system and adverse effects of environmental uncertainty on risk‐averse resource users. We set up a simple analytical model and derive conditions such that insurance by means of an income sharing mechanism mitigates externalities and hence ...

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel

Policy uncertainty shocks and farm investments in Europe: Evidence from a newspaper‐based index

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...
