Clearing the Air: How Fine Particulate Matter Regulations Reshape Farmland Values in U.S. Corn and Soybean Regions

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of air quality regulations targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on farmland values in corn and soybean producing counties in the United States over the period 1997–2022. Using self‐reported farmland value data from the Agricultural Census and county‐level pollution classifications provided by the Environmental ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Economic activity during extreme events

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data

Two Regimes of Waste and Value: ‘Post‐Disaster’ Landscapes in a New India

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this age of ‘disaster capitalism’, catastrophes are neither ‘natural’ nor ‘external’. They are political events mediating and vitally shaping the unequal and exploitative use of environmental resources. India's ‘post‐disaster’ landscapes at the turn of the new millennium powerfully demonstrate how visions of the new‐normal can be imposed in

Tropical Cyclone Losses in the USA and the Impact of Climate Change: A Trend Analysis Based on a New Dataset [PDF]

Economic losses caused by tropical cyclones have increased dramatically. It can be assumed that most losses are due to increased prosperity and a greater tendency for people to settle in exposed areas, but also that the growing incidence of severe ...

Changes in Monsoon and Tropical Cyclone Extreme Precipitation in Southeast China from 1960 to 2012

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2015
: Using daily precipitation data from 110 stations in Southeast China from 1960 to 2012, the extreme precipitation (EP) events associated with monsoon and tropical cyclones were examined using the Objective Synoptic Analysis Technique. In Southeast China,
