Remote Sensing, 2018 Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is a central process in the climate system, is a major component in the terrestrial water budget, and is responsible for the distribution of water and energy on land surfaces especially in arid and semiarid areas.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Remote SensingThe hydrological cycle in the Tibetan Plateau is experiencing notable changes in recent decades under a changing climate. The hydrological changes, however, are not well investigated due to the limitations in the availability of ground-based observations.

Geosciences, 2019 Accurately quantifying actual evapotranspiration (ETa) over wetlands is important for the improved management of these ecosystems, since 65% of them are threatened by clearing or drainage in South Africa.

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Application of hydrological models in a snowmelt region of Aksu River Basin
Water Science and Engineering, 2008 This study simulated and predicted the runoff of the Aksu River Basin, a typical river basin supplied by snowmelt in an arid mountain region, with a limited data set and few hydrological and meteorological stations.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural

Possibilities of Using the Direct Runoff Model KINFIL for a Road Network Design
Soil and Water Research, 2006 The paper provides a practical implementation of the hydrological model KINFIL to be used for designing an optimal road density system in areas where agricultural or forestry production does not play an important role.
