Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coffee producers deal with uncertainty due to high volatility in coffee prices. To navigate these challenges, producers must balance the tradeoff between higher yield and better quality utilising heterogeneous technologies, such as intensive production methods and environmental management practices.

Landowners' Willingness to Participate in Temporary and Permanent Agri‐Environmental Schemes

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the EU and beyond, voluntary agri‐environmental and climate schemes (AES) are used to curtail externalities from agricultural production including nitrate leaching, biodiversity degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper investigates and compares Danish landowners' preferences for temporary and permanent AES using a choice ...

Sustainability and the Reallocation of Production Across Grazing Regimes in Livestock Systems: Evidence From Mexico

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes towards more sustainable livestock production are often evaluated in terms of whether farms abandon environmentally harmful practices. Less attention has been paid to how farms reallocate production across alternative grazing systems and how the composition of production evolves over time.

How much are you willing to pay to avoid lockdowns? Evidence from the real estate market

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, numerous countries implemented lockdowns. In Victoria, Australia, a unique two‐tier system was employed, segregating areas with a Ring of Steel boundary and imposing additional restrictions within. This study focuses on the impact of lockdowns on housing prices and rents, exploring whether people are ...

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Bound by blood and bloodshed: Sibling ties and participation in genocidal violence

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Focusing on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, we examine how sibling relationships—one of the most salient familial bonds—influence individual engagement in violence during mass atrocity. Drawing on an adaptation of differential association and social learning theories for contexts of mass atrocity, we analyze a novel dataset linking over 300,000 ...

A High-dimensional Multinomial Logit Model

Journal of Applied Econometrics
The number of parameters in a standard multinomial logit model increases linearly with the number of choice alternatives and number of explanatory variables. Since many modern applications involve large choice sets with categorical explanatory variables, which enter the model as large sets of binary dummies, the number of parameters in a multinomial ...

Computationally efficient Bayesian capture–mark–recapture models with transients, applied to survival of hand‐reared African Penguins

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Mark–recapture models are the primary framework for estimating demographic parameters in wild organisms. Complex life histories and sampling processes demand complex model formulations, yet these are vulnerable to errors in implementation and unanticipated biases.
