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

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

Information framing and the impact of nutrition label serving size change
Abstract The framing of information can significantly influence how consumers interpret and respond to it. This paper investigates how the change in serving sizes in Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) affects consumer choices for carbonated soft drinks (CSD). We first estimate a reduced form difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model to document causal effects on ...

Are dairy cows replaced too early? Evidence from a structural model and cow‐level data
Abstract In past analyses of animal replacement decisions, studies have claimed that dairy farms often replace dairy cows too early to be maximizing profits. I estimate a structural model of asset replacement to determine the motives behind early replacement of dairy cows.

Policy uncertainty shocks and farm investments in Europe: Evidence from a newspaper‐based index
Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...

Abstract Premise Cuscuta (dodders) consists of ~200 species circumscribed into four subgenera (Monogynella, Cuscuta, Pachystigma, and Grammica) and is the only parasitic genus in Convolvulaceae (the morning‐glory family). This group shows a significant diversity in plastid functionality and represents a rare mixotrophic system among parasitic plants ...
