Growth of Omnichannel Grocery Retailing and Food Prices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of the growth of omnichannel grocery retailing on food prices. We first develop a conceptual model of consumer choice and retailer pricing that allows us to evaluate changes in equilibrium prices, quantities, and profits with online channel growth and alternative pricing strategies.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Scalable ω‐Substituted α‐Olefins via Living Chain Transfer Telomerization: A Platform for Next Generation Polyolefins

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly versatile and general strategy is presented for the scalable production of practical quantities of ω‐substituted α‐olefins using tris(ω‐substituted alkyl)aluminum telogens that are readily available through a “green” synthesis from commodity triisobutylaluminum and ethene as the taxogen. These new α‐olefins can be designed and used as monomers

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.
