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 ...

Potential for rabies control through dog vaccination in wildlife-abundant communities of Tanzania [PDF]
, 2012 Canine vaccination has been successful in controlling rabies in diverse settings worldwide. However, concerns remain that coverage levels which have previously been sufficient might be insufficient in systems where transmission occurs both between and ...

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 ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the financial literacy (FL) of Swedish farmers, its linkages to farmer characteristics, management accounting practices and farm outcomes by surveying Swedish Farm Accountancy Data Network farmers. Using item response theory, we expand the existing FL measurement specifically to the farming context, assess measurement ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Oxidation state controls microsolvation in the polyoxometalate {MnV}n−$\{{\rm MnV}\}^{n-}$ water‐oxidation catalyst in acetonitrile/water mixtures. The reduced species {MnV}3− attracts a highly structured hydration layer even at low water content, preferentially binding terminal V═O sites and excluding acetonitrile, while oxidized species show weaker ...

Uncovering the Temporal Dynamics of Diffusion Networks
, 2011 Time plays an essential role in the diffusion of information, influence and disease over networks. In many cases we only observe when a node copies information, makes a decision or becomes infected -- but the connectivity, transmission rates between ...

On the usefulness of Meyer wavelets for deconvolution and density estimation
, 2009 The aim of this paper is to show the usefulness of Meyer wavelets for the classical problem of density estimation and for density deconvolution from noisy observations. By using such wavelets, the computation of the empirical wavelet coefficients relies on the fast Fourier transform of the data and on the fact that Meyer wavelets are band-limited ...
