How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Effects of Environmental and Health Information on Willingness to Pay for Local and Organic Foods in Taiwan

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment, we investigate how providing information about food miles and pesticide residue influences willingness to pay (WTP) for potatoes among 407 shoppers in Taiwan, split between a supermarket and a farmers market.

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Trust‐region filter algorithms utilizing Hessian information for gray‐box optimization

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Optimizing industrial processes often involves gray‐box models that couple algebraic glass‐box equations with black‐box components lacking analytic derivatives. Such systems challenge derivative‐based solvers. The classical trust‐region filter (TRF) algorithm provides a robust framework but requires extensive parameter tuning and numerous ...

A trust‐region funnel algorithm for gray‐box optimization

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gray‐box optimization, where parts of optimization problems are represented by algebraic models while others are treated as black‐box models lacking analytic derivatives, remains a challenge. Trust‐region (TR) methods provide a robust framework for gray‐box problems through local reduced models (RMs) for black‐box components, but they are ...
