Estimating Causal Effects With Observational Data: Guidelines for Agricultural and Applied Economists

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most research questions in agricultural and applied economics are causal in nature: they study how changes in one or more variables (such as policies, prices or weather) affect one or more other variables (e.g., income, crop yields or pollution).

Promoting Methane Reductions Through Behavioural Nudges and Informational Boosts: A Field Choice Experiment in Japanese Rice Farming

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural methane emissions represent a significant contributor to global climate change, with irrigated rice cultivation being one of the primary sources. Despite the availability of effective mitigation technologies, their adoption often remains limited due to behavioural and institutional constraints.

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Green Endoscopy: Can Filtered Water Use in Endoscopy Be a Safe, Economical Alternative Which Promotes Sustainable Healthcare?

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sustainable healthcare is an evolving paradigm of growing importance that focuses on reducing environmental impact whilst maintaining quality patient care. Currently, evidence is lacking to support the use of sterile water in diagnostic colonoscopy resulting in a growing shift towards use of tap water and appropriate recycling of ...

Climate shocks, coping strategies, and household resilience: Evidence from a three‐wave panel in Malawi

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate shocks threaten rural livelihoods in Malawi, yet households adopt diverse coping strategies to mitigate welfare losses. Using three‐wave Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture panel data (2013–2019) and household fixed‐effects models, this study examines how climate shocks affect food security and ...

Economic and Biological Evaluation of Pheromone Trap Types for Western Bean Cutworm, Striacosta albicosta, Monitoring in Dry Edible Bean Fields

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone trap use for monitoring Striacosta albicosta in dry edible beans was evaluated across multiple trap designs, lure replacement intervals, and insecticide timings. Bucket traps captured the most moths, yet trap counts poorly predicted crop damage.

Challenges to artificial intelligence‐enabled digital technology adoption in farms: a multi‐method approach

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)‐enabled digital technologies have the potential to transform agriculture by supporting decision‐making and automating operations. However, their limited adoptions and scholars’ atheoretical explorations constrain our understanding.

Acute freshwater CO2 exposure does not impair seawater transfer in three different sizes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) subjected to different photoperiod manipulations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a growing interest in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture to extend the time fish are reared in freshwater (FW) recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), producing larger FW salmon that can then be induced to undergo smoltification before transfer into marine net pens for grow‐out and harvest.

Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop breeding technologies are vital for global food security. While traditional methods have improved yield, stress tolerance, and nutrition, rising challenges such as climate instability, land loss, and pest pressure now demand new solutions.
