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.

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.
