King and Cochrane: The technological treadmill and racial inequity in US agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Between 1920 and 1969, the number of Black farmers in the US decreased from 14% of all operators to 4%. Using Martin Luther King Jr.'s critique of agricultural policy and Willard Cochrane's theory of the technological treadmill, we explore how racial discrimination was linked to policies that led to structural change in US agriculture.

The Financial Status and Local Credit Market Conditions of U.S. Farms Engaged in Multiple Borrowing

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural producers often borrow from multiple lenders, raising concerns about credit risk and monitoring. We construct detailed farm‐level measures of how debt is distributed across lenders and examine how farm financial status and the physical presence of local lenders are linked to this practice.

A Class of Iterative Nonlinear Difference Inequality with Weakly Singularity

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2014
We discuss a class of new nonlinear weakly singular difference inequality, which is solved by change of variable, discrete Hölder inequality, discrete Jensen inequality, the mean-value theorem for integrals and amplification method, and Gamma function ...

On new Simpson’s type ınequalities for trigonometrically convex functions with applications

Cumhuriyet Science Journal, 2020
The aim of this article is to define a special case of h- convex function, namely the notion of a trigonometrically convex function. Using the Hölder, Hölder-İşcan integral inequality and the power-mean, improved power-mean integral inequalities, and ...

Beyond subsistence? The role of rural cooperatives in driving smallholder commercialization in Ethiopia

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from subsistence to market‐oriented agriculture holds the potential to boost rural economic progress and improve the well‐being of the rural poor in developing countries. Despite this potential, there is limited understanding of the key drivers for smallholder commercialization. In this study, we utilize comprehensive three‐wave

Some New Improvements for Fractional Hermite–Hadamard Inequalities by Jensen–Mercer Inequalities

Journal of Function Spaces
This article’s objective is to introduce a new double inequality based on the Jensen–Mercer JM inequality, known as the Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer inequality. We use the JM inequality to build a number of generalized trapezoid-type inequalities.

Are all meats substitutes? A basket‐and‐expenditure‐based approach

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the relationship among animal‐based meat and plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs) using a basket‐and‐expenditure‐based choice experiment. In particular, we examine whether animal‐based meat products are substitutes or complements with PBMAs.

Inequalities for Basic Special Functions Using Hölder Inequality

Mathematics
Let p,q≥1 be two real numbers such that 1p+1q=1, and let a,b∈R be two parameters defined on the domain of a function, for example, f. Based on the well known Hölder inequality, we propose a generic inequality of the form |f(ap+bq)|≤|f(a)|1p|f(b)|1q, and ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.
