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

open access: yesApplied 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.

Technological change, capital deepening, and agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth: Cross‐country comparison of 18 OECD countries

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper employs the data envelope analysis (DEA) to assess technological progress and its impact on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) across 18 the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries from 1973 to 2015.

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

open access: yesApplied 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.

Toward Energy Justice Principles for Sustainable Lithium‐Ion Battery Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Prefeasibility life cycle assessment is used to evaluate the environmental, social, and supply chain impacts of lithium‐ion battery technologies, and the concept of distributional energy justice is discussed. By comparing chemistries and use cases, it reveals inequities in material sourcing and technology access.

A Guideline to Evaluate Sorbent Performance for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Reporting guidelines for atmospheric water harvesting sorbents allow benchmarking between research groups across seven key performance indicators (KPIs). Beyond simple equilibrium values (such as capacity or maximum water uptake), these KPIs validate sensitivity, reversibility, regeneration conditions, chemical stability, kinetics, and water quality ...
