Integrating Agri‐Environmental Programs into Regional Production Models: An Extension of Positive Mathematical Programming

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2003
AbstractPositive Mathematical Programming (PMP) has become a popular method for regional production models. The standard approach estimates cost (or production) functions for each land‐use activity separately from each other. This means that the same crop grown under two technologies is treated as if it were two separate crops, which may lead to ...

A bottom-up model of industrial energy system with positive mathematical programming

Energy, 2019
Abstract The bottom-up model of the industrial energy system has hitherto been analyzed using linear programming. However, it has limitations in describing practical technology selection and reproducing base-year technology selection. Positive mathematical programming, which provides an interior solution without any subjective constraints, can be ...

The effect of urbanization on agricultural water consumption and production: the extended positive mathematical programming approach

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2020
One of the most important factors in the agricultural sector is the supply of water. There are numerous factors affecting the supply of water in the agricultural sector. One of these factors is urban development. After the agricultural and industrial revolution, urban revolution is one of the most important issues in the economic development of ...

Positive mathematical programming.

2016
This chapter describes the use of mathematical programming for developing farm-level models that are useful for agricultural policy assessments. It focuses on the technique most frequently used in agricultural policy evaluation in the European Union (EU), positive mathematical programming (PMP).

Theory and Application of Positive Mathematical Programming in Agriculture and the Environment

Annual Review of Resource Economics, 2014
This review critically looks at the theoretical and empirical foundations of positive mathematical programming and its evolution in the past decade or so. We show how the need to model new empirical phenomena has induced the literature to rethink model specifications and to address new questions in the area of calibrated programming.

Quota in Agricultural Positive Mathematical Programming Models

2005
In Belgium, an agricultural sector model for ex ante policy analysis is developed. The model, called SEPALE, uses an adapted version of Positive Mathematical Programming allowing for simultaneous modelling of individual farms. SEPALE applies farm level calibrated cost functions to the sample of the Farm Accountancy Data Network to account for the large

Relative positioning of parts in assemblies using mathematical programming

Computer-Aided Design, 1990
In extending solid modeling technology to the modeling of assemblies of discrete parts, it is important to capture the position of each part in the assembly relative to the positions of its neighbors. By describing each part position in terms of relationships between various features of the part and mating features of its neighboring parts, it is ...
