Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

open access: yesApplied 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

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States

open access: yesApplied 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.

FLAX VARIETIES COMPARED [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1940
The introduction of a crop involves the question of quality as well as the environmental conditions under which profitable production may be undertaken. Varieties enter into the quality of the crop. In order to solve this problem in the case of flax, a comparative study of the available samples of seed was made, following the routine methods for "oil ...

Characterisation of the transverse thermoelastic properties of natural fibres used in composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To predict the properties of a composite, it is necessary to identify the properties of the constituent materials, especially those of the fibre. Mechanical properties of natural fibres (NF) are anisotropic and cannot be characterised in the same way as ...
