Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the factors influencing producer adoption of cover cropping and no‐till farming, two key carbon sequestration practices, within the context of voluntary carbon credit programmes (CCPs) in Kansas. Using a mixed‐methods survey that combines discrete choice experiments with farm‐level data from 370 producers, we estimate ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.
