Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...

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 ...

Robust Stabilization of Stochastic Markovian Jump Systems with Distributed Delays
Complexity, 2021 This paper addresses the robust stabilization problem for a class of stochastic Markovian jump systems with distributed delays. The systems under consideration involve Brownian motion, Markov chains, distributed delays, and parameter uncertainties. By an

Stability Analysis of Integral Delay Systems with Multiple Delays
, 2015 This note is concerned with stability analysis of integral delay systems with multiple delays. To study this problem, the well-known Jensen inequality is generalized to the case of multiple terms by introducing an individual slack weighting matrix for ...

Robust MPC-Based Fault-Tolerant Control for Trajectory Tracking of Surface Vessel
IEEE Access, 2018 A robust control method, based on a model predictive control, is developed for the trajectory tracking of a surface vessel with sensor failures. The kinematic model of a surface vessel is first obtained.

Distributed Robust Stability Analysis of Interconnected Uncertain Systems
, 2012 This paper considers robust stability analysis of a large network of interconnected uncertain systems. To avoid analyzing the entire network as a single large, lumped system, we model the network interconnections with integral quadratic constraints. This
