Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of 6‐Sulfo Sialyl Lewisx Containing Glycans to Probe the Receptor Specificity of MERS Coronavirus

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A chemoenzymatic methodology is described that provided a panel of 6‐sulfo sialyl Lewisx‐containing glycans that were probed for receptor specificity of MERS‐CoV. Although the fucoside of 6‐sulfo‐SLex does not directly interact with the spike, it pre‐organizes the molecule into a conformation to allow a salt bridge between the sulfate and the ...

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

Income sharing for common pool resources with uncertain productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the interconnected issues of externalities in the use of a natural common‐pool resource system and adverse effects of environmental uncertainty on risk‐averse resource users. We set up a simple analytical model and derive conditions such that insurance by means of an income sharing mechanism mitigates externalities and hence ...

Using pre‐ and post‐entry data to identify the effect of ethanol plant entry on the spatial pattern of corn prices: A study in Indiana

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the long‐run effect of ethanol plant entry on local corn prices using a long‐horizon difference‐in‐differences framework that combines matching with fixed effects while explicitly accounting for treatment intensity and spatial heterogeneity.
