Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

On econometric models with rational expectations
, 2008 Abstract This chapter is devoted to the analysis of solutions of linear rational-expectations models. Successively introducing various types of expectations (perfect, naive, adaptive, and rational) in the Muth model, the final reduced forms and the linear stationary solutions are compared.

Econometric Modeling as Information Aggregation [PDF]
A forecast produced by an econometric model is a weighted aggregate of predetermined variables in the model. In many models the number of predetermined variables used is very large, often exceeding the number of observations. A method is proposed in this

Forecasting by econometric models as support to management
, 2011 In the contemporary environment characterized by the dynamic structure of factors and the unpredictability of the relations existing between them, the central problem is the selection of strategic goals.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

A BAYESIAN ALTERNATIVE TO GENERALIZED CROSS ENTROPY SOLUTIONS FOR UNDERDETERMINED ECONOMETRIC MODELS [PDF]
This paper presents a Bayesian alternative to Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) and Generalized Cross Entropy (GCE) methods for deriving solutions to econometric models represented by underdetermined systems of equations. For certain types of econometric

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Estimation and model specification testing in nonparametric and semiparametric econometric models [PDF]
This paper considers two classes of semiparametric nonlinear regression models, in which nonlinear components are introduced to reflect the nonlinear fluctuation in the mean.

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.
