Market regulation and productivity: The case of the Canadian Wheat Board
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Changes to regulatory environments influence firm‐level incentives, which can move the productivity frontier or reposition firms within an existing frontier. Estimating causal effects of policy changes requires a credible counterfactual for productivity in the absence of policy change.

Characteristics and Production Costs of U.S. Hog Farms, 2004 [PDF]
Hog production in 2004 was characterized by wide variation in the types, sizes, and economic performance of operations. Operations specializing in a single production phase generated more than three times the product value, on average, of those using the

Independent Board of Directors Group Faultlines and CSR: Evidence From India
Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study, leveraging group faultline and upper echelons theories, explores how relation and task‐based faultlines among independent board members influence CSR investment under the contingency effect of the financial slack of the firms. This study, leveraging the concept of group faultline and upper echelons, first hypothesizes how the supra‐

Information and affective valence influence judgments of complexity, liking and understanding
British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Visual complexity is a key factor in perceptual and evaluative judgments. People's representation of visual complexity is constructed from quantitative and structural image features, but it is also influenced by familiarity and expertise. We examined how people represent visual complexity and its impact on perception and evaluation, focusing ...

A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

ASSESSMENT OF MARKET RISK IN HOG PRODUCTION USING VALUE-AT-RISK AND EXTREME VALUE THEORY [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of different VaR models in the context of risk assessment in hog production. Potential pitfalls of traditional VaR models are pinpointed and proposals to solve them are analyzed. After a brief
