Food insecurity and unemployment among immigrants in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Immigrants can be more vulnerable to economic downturns and, during periods of economic hardship, more likely to experience food insecurity compared to natives. This study examines the differential effect of the unemployment rate on the probability of being food insecure among diverse groups of immigrant households relative to natives in the ...

Improvements to the calibration of a Geographically Weighted Regression with Parameter-Specific Distance Metrics and Bandwidths

, 2018
In standard geographically weighted regression (GWR), the spatially-varying relationships between the dependent and each independent variable are explored under a constant and fixed scale, but for many processes their variation intensity may differ with ...

The Minkowski approach for choosing the distance metric in geographically weighted regression [PDF]

, 2015
In this study, the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model is adapted to benefit from a broad range of distance metrics, where it is demonstrated that a well-chosen distance metric can improve model performance.

Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

Cohesion Without Consensus: Attitudinal Profiles of Social Cohesion in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Headline indicators of social cohesion in Australia have remained stable in recent years despite rising political polarisation and declining institutional trust worldwide. Yet recent protests and incidents of ethnically and politically motivated violence suggest that cohesion may be under strain. If cohesion is understood not as the pursuit of

Spatial and non spatial approaches to agricultural convergence in Europe [PDF]

The paper starts from the critiques to the Barro-style methodology for convergence analysis with the aim of reviewing the econometric approaches for testing spatial effects in convergence process related to both cross sectional and panel data regressions,
