Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Spatial dependence of extreme rainfall [PDF]

, 2017
This study aims to model the spatial extreme daily rainfall process using the max-stable model. The max-stable model is used to capture the dependence structure of spatial properties of extreme rainfall. Three models from max-stable are considered namely

Spatiotemporal patterns and zonation of typhoon and non-typhoon extreme rainfall hazards in the typical coastal region of southeastern China

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
To enhance extreme rainfall risk assessment in East Asia, it is critical to distinguish typhoon and non-typhoon rainfall, assessing the spatiotemporal patterns of their extreme rainfall hazards and conducting corresponding spatial zonation. Taking Fujian,

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

A Comparative Study of the Magnitude, Frequency and Distribution of Intense Rainfall in the United Kingdom [PDF]

, 2009
During the 1960s, a study was made of the magnitude, frequency and distribution of intense rainfall over the UK, employing data from more than 120 daily-read rain gauges covering the period 1911 to 1960.

Estimating extreme spatial rainfall intensities [PDF]

, 2016
Determining the impact of catchment flooding requires an estimate of extreme spatial rainfall intensity. Current flood design practice typically converts a point estimate of rainfall intensity into a spatial rainfall intensity using an areal reduction ...

Effects of Precipitation Extremes Change on Streamflow and Sediment Load in Weihe River Basin

Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2022
In order to explore the trend of extreme rainfall and its impact on water and sediment regime in the Weihe River Basin, we used nonparametric trend analysis, abrupt change analysis and continuous wavelet transform to diagnose the variation ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...
