Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Childhood famine exposure and the risk of gastrointestinal diseases in old individuals: a retrospective cohort analysis using the CHARLS database

BMC Public Health
Background The aging of the global population exacerbates the burden of gastrointestinal diseases in elderly individuals. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis suggests that early-life malnutrition may have long-lasting ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Electrochemically Induced Structural Evolution to Generate Optimized High‐Entropy‐Alloy Electrocatalysts for Ethanol Oxidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electrochemical cycling drives spontaneous facet optimization in high‐entropy Pd@PdPtIrRuRh core‐shell nanocrystals, reshaping simple cubes into severely beveled architectures with balanced {100}/{110}/{111} facets. This dynamic restructuring yields active electrocatalysts that favor complete ethanol oxidation via the C1 pathway, suppress strongly ...
