▼ The evolution of British agriculture policy in
Punjab began with the annexation of Punjab in 1849. After the
annexation of Punjab Governor General Lord Dalhousie taken several
important measures to promote agriculture in Punjab from 1849 to
1853 under the Board headed by Henry Lawrence and from 1853 to 1858
under John Lawrence as Chief Commissioner of Punjab. Punjab was
primarily an agricultural province having considerable natural
resources for agriculture. Punjab had fertile land, rivers for
irrigation and strong hardworking people. The development of
agriculture policy in Punjab was the result of various factors such
as introduction of new techniques, agricultural research and
education, increase in the means of irrigation, use of manure to
increase the productivity of soil, new varieties of seeds, use of
sophisticated implements, better methods of cultivation and the
development of means of transport and trade. It was in the 1860?s
that the problem of rural indebtedness started becoming serious in
Punjab. The main causes of indebtedness of the small holding,
vagaries of weather, cattle mortality, extravagance of the peasant
proprietor. Land revenue policy of the British Government was one
of the important as certained causes of the peasant indebtedness.
The grievances and resentments against the agricultural policies of
the British assumed the shape of an anti-imperial mass movement
with the participation of major political figures and parties. The
agrarian unrest awakened the Punjab, and the Punjabis, particularly
the peasants, from now onwards, were in the main stream of the
freedom movement. The reactions and responses to the agricultural
policies introduced under the political dispensation of the British
is a research area with far reaching implications connected with
the political and social history of the Sikhs in Punjab. The
agricultural system prevailing in India was a legacy of the Mughal
times and suffered from several problems of chronic
nature.

▼ Agricultural production is affected by a range of
policy and climatic variables. This research explored the impacts of cap and trade, climate change and
agricultural policy scenarios on water resource use and allocation in
agricultural production. The research is organized into three separate studies, one for each set of scenarios.The first study focused on cap and trade
policy for controlling greenhouse gas emissions, combining cost of production estimates with output price projections to determine the overall economic impact of cap and trade legislation, as well as its impact on
agricultural water consumption. Price projections that included carbon offsets were higher than projections that did not, due to land being taken out of production and prices being bid up. HR2454 will increase production costs, particularly energy intensive inputs. Output prices increase as producers reduce production in response to cost increases. If
agricultural offsets are allowed, output prices will be bid up further. Offsets allow producers to receive payments for cutting emissions. Producers benefit due to indirect price effects. Since water is quantity limited, total water use is unchanged.The next study looked at the physical impacts of climate change on production, particularly rising temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations. By analyzing the anticipated yield effects, it was found that overall net incomes would decrease and the water constraint would remain binding - meaning total water use is unchanged.The third paper analyzed the effects of
agricultural policy on land and water resource allocation. Cotton is directly subsidized. Corn and grain sorghum are subsidized indirectly through ethanol subsidies. Sugar cane prices are artificially high due to tariff rate quotas on sugar imports. Removal of any of these interventions decreased net profits to producers, but water use remains unchanged. Removing all farm programs significantly decreases acres under cultivation, and reduces water use below the water constraint. It comes at a great cost to producers however, given the small amount of water saved.

▼ Over the past decade, scientific and
policy circles throughout Europe have been debating about how to best create working landscapes that balance
agricultural production and environmental conservation in an economically sustainable fashion. In this regard, multi-functional landscape strategies have been perceived as a powerful instrument to help the European Union achieve its sustainable development goals. In an attempt to put these ideas in place, past reforms to the Common
Agricultural Policy (CAP), and more recently the CAP post-2013 reform, contain a set of environmental standards and objectives that aim to improve overall environmental sustainability of European farms. This study examines the current CAP environmental standards both from conservationist and rural development perspectives, seeking to identify whether such measures can most successfully foster the concept of multi-functionality. Through an analysis of the legislative history of the CAP reform process, as well as a review of the literature on the conceptual frameworks to multifunctional agriculture, and particularly exploring the role of institutions in driving environmentally sustainable farming systems across the EU, the research findings suggest that environmental objectives have only been partially integrated into the CAP, either because of their limited scope or their unsuccessful implementation. At the
policy level, these findings question the effectiveness of EU
policy efforts to use CAP subsidies as an instrument to deliver environmental goals and contribute to the multiple functions of agriculture. CAP environmental objectives have to a considerable degree remained fragmented, which reinforces the need to promote more integrative
policy approaches as a way to explore the potentials of multifunctional agriculture in all its complexity, and to achieve broader sustainability and rural development goals.

Nitrogen leaching reduction in Finnish agriculture: Feasible policies with differentiated land productivity classes.

▼ Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and crop production. However, excessive nitrogen fertilizer application may lead to nitrate leaching from soils to surface and ground waters. Nitrogen is a major cause of eutrophication of freshwater and marine ecosystems, including the Baltic Sea, and agriculture is a major source of nitrogen leaching to waterways in general. Because agriculture is a non-point source of diffuse pollution, measuring and monitoring the emissions is difficult and costly. This affects the design and implementation of non-point pollution policies. However, because reducing non-point pollution emissions has so far been limited, policies that counter non-point pollution emissions could reduce surface water pollution and improve water quality.
The aim of this study was to examine various nitrogen leaching reducing policy instruments and their effects on farmer profits, social welfare, fertilizer use, land use, and to explore the willingness of farmers to accept different instruments.
A theoretical heterogeneous land quality class framework was used to construct and develop an empirical parametric two crop bio-economic model in order to assess the impact and effectiveness of selected policy instruments. Heterogeneity in the model was incorporated by different maximum potential yields with respect to the different land quality classes. Three policy instruments were examined: fertiliser standard, fertiliser tax and emission charge. In addition, the redistribution of the collected fertiliser tax revenue by rebates was also explored and discussed.
The results showed that differentiated policy instruments induced the highest social welfare. However, due to the nature of non-point pollution, differentiated policy instruments cannot be utilised and therefore uniform instruments have to be considered. An uniform fertilizer standard input provided the highest farmer profits. However, when tax rebates were introduced in to the policy instrument mix, private profits were the largest under a lump-sum rebate and rebates that were proportionally awarded according to fertilizer use. These higher profits changed instrument preference and acceptability among the producer.
The uniform input tax and lump-sum rebate scheme stood out from the other tax rebate schemes, as it effectively reduced nitrogen fertilizer use (and therefore nitrogen runoff), and the lump-sum rebate compensated the farmer for the deemed stringent input tax. The model results indicated that a uniform input tax and lump-sum rebate scheme could be a potential policy instrument to reduce nitrogen leaching. However, further studies should be carried out on the willingness of producers to accept an input tax and rebate scheme.

▼ Agricultural policy affects the
agricultural industry in its entirety. It affects everything from the type of food that is grown to how it is processed and distributed.
Agricultural policy influencers impact the development of the
policy and ultimately impact the future of agriculture. Understanding how these
policy influencers impact
policy is important to understanding
policy development. Knowing where
agricultural policy influencers get information, how they prefer to have it presented and how they prefer to communicate with other
agricultural policy influencers is vital to understanding and impacting the
agricultural policy process. The purpose of this study was to describe
agricultural policy influencers’ preference for three aspects of the communication process; (1) sources of information, (2) formats of information, and (3) methods of communication with other
agricultural policy influencers. Two Delphi studies were administered to distinctly separate but intersecting expert groups: Congressional
agricultural aides, and
agricultural lobbyists. These Delphi studies determined each group’s preference for sources of information on
agricultural policy, their preference for formats of information, and their preference for methods of communication while communicating with other
policy influencers. Since communication is relational, the study broke communication into three sections; (1) communication with peers, (2) communication with members of the opposite expert group with whom there is a close relationship, and (3) communication with members of the opposite expert group with whom there is not a close relationship. Consensus was developed separately for each question and for each group of experts. Data are presented separately throughout this study. In discussing the findings, this study looks at preferences from both sides of the communication interaction. In this way, the study takes two separate Delphi processes and develops them into one clear picture of communication during the
policy process. Both groups of experts preferred to have written communication in the form of email and verbal communication in the form of face-to-face and telephone conversations. In addition, both groups preferred to have information presented in the most concise and least time consuming fashion. The data points to the importance of interpersonal relationships, and the need concise and efficient communication methods throughout the
policy process. Recommendations for future research and for practitioners are included at the end of the study.

▼ Tribal colleges were established by Native Americans on Indian reservations beginning in 1968 to provide for a culturally-attuned higher education. They offer native-based language and social studies, as well as courses in their food and agricultural sciences competencies of their local rural communities as a part of their curricula. Significant new endowment, grant, and academic program support was provided to tribal colleges and universities through the Equity in Education Land-Grant Status Act of 1994. This study examined the effect of this support in terms of the impact on food and agricultural science course offerings in relation to their native-knowledge-based curricula. A prior cross-sectional study detailing land-grant courses and native-knowledge-based courses of five tribal colleges before the 1994 Land-Grant Act was expanded to a longitudinal 10-year study. The original study was replicated, and course frequency data taken from college catalogs for 1994 was compared to observed 2004 data to determine if changes in the course counts were significant and related to the legislative policy change. The relative frequency proportion of the land-grant courses was nearly equal to the native-knowledge-based courses – a 49:51 ratio in 1994. The ratio changed to 54:46 favoring the land-grant courses in 2004, while the total count of courses in both categories grew by 25% at the five colleges combined. Chi-square tests for relationship between land-grant and native-knowledge-based category frequencies over the 1995 and 2004 independent variable levels resulted in two statistically significant (p < .05) differences. Chief Dull Knife College and Oglala Lakota College had observed data in 2004 significantly greater than expected. Diné College, Little Big Horn College, and Salish-Kootenai College course frequencies were as expected, as were those for various groups of the colleges. Thus, no generalizable inference of a causal policy effect could be attributed to the 1994 Land-Grant Act.

▼ The U.S. tung oil industry began as a government experiment in plant diversification but businessmen mistakenly interpreted this interest as an endorsement of domestic production and began growing tung trees in the Gulf South states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. The new crop quickly caught the attention of paint, varnish, and ink companies in the northern and Midwestern states and created a buzz among chemurgists like Henry Ford and other industrialists who eagerly expanded tung acreage. With the erection of the first crushing mill in 1928, the tung oil industry began but it did not acquire any semblance of maturity until World War II.
The war thrust the nascent tung oil industry into strategic status. Used as a varnish on military airplanes and naval vessels, a brake lining, a machinery lubricant, a liner for tin cans, and as electrical insulation, demand exceeded supply. Traditional consumers had such a difficult time purchasing tung oil during the war that they turned to other oilseeds or new synthetic oils. The war both aided and crippled tung oil by highlighting its chemurgic uses and deterring consumers given that shortages encouraged the quest for alternatives. Despite a barrage of synthetic competitors and imports, domestic tung
growers continued production in the hopes that the discovery of new industrial markets would increase demand and attract government support in the form of parity, tariffs, and quotas.
Between 1949 and 1969, a series of
agricultural policies granted protection but from the outset federal support proved reluctant and tenuous because production remained miniscule, quotas threatened to heighten diplomatic tensions, and wealthy, part-time growers comprised the bulk of parity recipients. Hurricane Camille has often received credit for bringing a swift end to the industry but imports, competitive oilseeds, synthetics, and freezes had delivered powerful blows to the extent that many farmers stopped growing tung long before 1969. Indeed, Camille proved nothing more than a death knell to a waning industry that had become dependent on government largesse.

▼ This paper utilizes survey data to compare several non-survey methods of modeling the economic impacts of biofuels plants. It examines differences in the input coefficients derived from the survey versus the trade coefficients generated through the non-survey methods. It finds that of the three non-survey methods examined, the Swenson (2006) scenario input coefficients most closely represent those found in the survey based on the performance of the non-survey scenario input coefficients in a variety of statistical tests. Further, it examines the economic impacts (multipliers) generated by these scenarios compared to those generated from the survey. Based upon statistical tests of the multipliers, the Swenson scenario’s estimated impacts most closely represent the impacts derived from the survey.

▼ South Australian agriculture has been production and export orientated since soon after European settlement. The associated cultural implications have influenced, and been influenced by, the neoliberal capitalist form that has framed Australian and South Australian governance since the 1980s. An extreme wave of neoliberal productivism has been encouraged that has led to numerous critiques of this pathway, especially in regard to the sustainability of socio-environmental outcomes of
agricultural land use. The social and environmental consequences of
agricultural land use are rarely explicitly valued or supported by
policy in South Australia, however a multifunctional shift is occurring in other wealthy nations, which involves the increased valuation of the multiple functions of
agricultural systems. This thesis examines the implications of liberal governance on
agricultural stakeholders in South Australia in an effort to understand and address specific criticisms to help plan for a more multifunctional future. South Australian farmers and
agricultural governance stakeholders were asked to describe their opinions on current
policy and outline their perceptions of what framework was required to facilitate a multifunctional
agricultural industry. Four key research questions are addressed concerning: the self-perceived priorities of South Australian farmers; farmer perceptions of
agricultural governance institutions; South Australian
agricultural governance stakeholders’ perceptions of their roles; and, whether there are other, more appropriate
policy mechanisms available to increase the sustainability of South Australian agriculture. The original contribution to knowledge includes a survey of South Australian farmers’ perceptions of current
policy settings, with a spatial focus around the rural Riverland town of Loxton and the peri-urban Barossa Valley. Three
policy recommendations, which are deduced from primary and secondary data analysis, form the main conclusions. Firstly, farmers themselves, and future
policy, must recognise the importance of education to generate resilient agri-businesses, as education level is shown to alter respondents’ priorities, increase the multifunctionality of land use, and reduce dependence upon government assistance. Secondly, to maximise the benefits of any
policy implemented it must be flexible, community-focused to encourage cooperation, and avoid regulatory complexity to ensure farmer support. For example, a highly bureaucratic system, such as the European Union’s Common
Agricultural Policy, that governs agriculture in the United Kingdom, is unlikely to be popular in the South Australian context. Finally, if the first two recommendations are combined into
policy settings that encourage public-private partnerships in the
agricultural sector, and increase explicit support mechanisms for social and environmental outcomes from farming, there will be beneficial implications for the long-term sustainability of agriculture in South Australia.

▼ For centuries the Loess Plateau of northwest China has been suffering from pressing environmental, social and economic challenges. The interlinked problems of extensive soil erosion, food deficiency and chronic poverty on the Plateau have posed a devastating threat to local sustainability and an imperilled menace to life and property safety to downstream waterways alongside the Yellow River. In order to understanding and tackling this trilemma, a small catchment basin, Gaoquan Watershed in hinterland of Loess Plateau's gullied hilly region, was chosen as a research site. Long-term multidisciplinary researches and demonstrations have been carried out with focusing on utilising agricultural resources in a holistic manner. Successful practice of integrated resource management strategy has led this marginal semiarid catchment basin to a way towards sustainable development. By reviewing main technological and managerial aspects of Gaoquan Watershed experiences, this study analyses the matrix of incentives and interests of different stake holders, and provides recommendations of coping with the problems of land degradation, food security and related social consequences in the Loess Plateau from a wider and more integrated perspective.

Production
efficiency and policy impact of heterogeneous farm households in

▼ Agricultural development is an essential factor in the
economic development of much of the developing world and comprises
a significant element of foreign assistance portfolios. Over the
last decade, there has seen a renewed interest in more credible
estimates of the economic impacts of development programs, such as
assistance to extension programs. We compare the estimation of
technical efficiency to farm output and income as an outcome
variable to evaluate the impact of development programs such as
farm education and extension programs. We develop a simple
theoretical model which shows that using technical efficiency as an
outcome variable could be a viable alternative to more
traditionally used outcome variables such as farm output and farm
profit. We note that when farmers are capital constrained,
extension programs can theoretically have a large efficiency effect
despite a small or zero change in farm profits.
If farm
technical efficiency is used as an outcome variable, then it must
be estimated correctly. Mismeasurement of farm technical efficiency
leads to misleading extension program evaluations. Farm households
face heterogeneous infrastructural constraints (Suri 2011; Ojiem et
al. 2006), credit constraints, information barriers and other input
market constraints (Duflo, Kremer and Robinson 2011; Jack 201; Suri
2011and Stifel and Minten 2008), labor markets constraints (Henning
and Henningsen 2007), socio-economical (Ojiem et al. 2006) and
non-farm income opportunities (Chang et al. 2012) and thus have
different access to
agricultural inputs and outputs. These
constraints have a substantial impact on
agricultural production
decisions of farm households. A key production decision of farm
households is the allocation of resource to cash and food crops.
Production of cash crops requires relatively higher market
involvement in both the purchase of inputs and the selling of
output than home-consumed food crops. The heterogeneous constraints
across farm households leads to a substantial imbalance in the
transaction costs associated with the production of each crop.
Moreover, home-consumed crops may have quality attributes (e.g.
color, taste, softness of dough, and suitability for certain
dishes) not reflected in market prices. Factors such as transaction
costs, crop quality attributes, and other factors such as household
characteristics are farmer specific and drive a heterogeneous price
wedge between the market prices for household’s crop production and
the economic value of these crops for the household. These
distinctions have important implication for farm productivity
analysis, such as technical efficiency measurement.
The standard
approach to productivity analysis, such as efficiency estimation,
assume that farm households face homogenous price wedges that leads
to homogenous set of production and profit functions. However, the
price gap created by transaction costs, crop quality attributes,
and other factors such as household characteristics generally vary
among subsistence, semi-subsistence and…

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays answering questions with implications for our understanding of how policy decisions affect economic outcomes of people in developing countries. The first essay examines the local effects of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in Cambodia, large tracts of land governments in the global South lease to private companies for development into agribusiness projects. I find that LSLAs cause a shift away from independent agricultural production towards employment in agricultural labor in a narrow adjacent region to the LSLAs. Additionally, I find that LSLAs result in a decline in household spending, and little evidence that LSLAs result in local agricultural technology adoption. The second essay examines the effects of refugee camps on host populations in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). My coauthor and I find being within 10 kilometers of a camp decreases children’s weight-for-age z-scores by 10 percent of the sample mean. Children with married household heads experience improved nutrition outcomes relative to children with non-married household heads near camps, and camps cause an increase in local employment. The third essay returns to the subject of the first, LSLAs, but examines the phenomenon of LSLAs at a broader level, and analyzes several of the determinants of global flows of LSLA-based investment. I find that a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) between countries is associated with a 55 to 125 percent increase in land deals and that a ten-point increase in a recipient country’s environmental protection index is associated with a 30 percent decrease in the number of LSLA deals in that country. Most estimates of whether BITs act as complements or substitutes for local institutions are statistically insignificant and inconclusive, although difference-in-differences estimates provide limited evidence that BITs act as complements for strong rule of law and government effectiveness in recipient countries.

▼ The Farm Crisis of the 1980s occurred during the Reagan Presidency. To date virtually nothing has been written concerning the approach taken by the Reagan administration to combat the crisis. To fill that gap, this study makes extensive use of the Ronald Reagan Presidedential Library to provide insight into the conflict between the administration and Congress over the method to ameliorate the economic crisis in agriculture. The study concludes that while the administration tried to extract the government from the
agricultural ecomny, that goal was impossible to reach.

▼ Property rights can transform individuals’ incentives
and facilitate economic prosperity, especially in agriculture. For
women, these opportunities are invaluable, but often constraints
from overlapping legitimizing systems prevent women from realizing
the same property rights as their male counterparts. Many
governments have implemented land reforms to counteract this issue,
yet other invisible infrastructures exert influence over the
practice of women’s rights, preventing progress. If there is an
external change in statutory rights for women, can change
subsequently occur in their realized rights, impacting their
economic opportunities? To examine this question, I analyze women’s
land rights in the context of Uganda’s National Land
Policy (NLP),
a set of comprehensive land reforms reinforcing gender equality in
statutory property rights, and its accompanying Implementation
Action Plan, which initiates programs to enforce the
policy,
including gender sensitivity programs. If the programs were enacted
and legal gender equality was enforced, I would expect women gained
additional realized property rights. Using data from the World
Bank’s Living Standards Measurement Survey in Uganda, I explore
this relationship with two different identification strategies. The
difference-in-difference model discovers if the treatment had an
effect on women’s ownership, control, and decision-making rights
over
agricultural land holdings, while a modified
difference-in-difference model examines how these rights changed as
the time from
policy implementation increased. The results show the
treatment had no impact on women’s land rights, and increased
exposure to treatment had no effect on outcomes as well. Therefore,
these findings imply the
policy implementation did not make
progress towards gender equality in land rights, or the timeline is
not long enough to capture the impact from these
programs.

▼ The Canadian government has been holding an inconsistent position in the agricultural trade negotiations of both the Uruguay and Doha rounds. It has been advocating for freer agricultural trade while defending its supply management system, a protectionist policy that governs dairy, poultry and eggs in the country. The thesis attempts to answer the question: What domestic factors explain the inconsistent position, advocating for both liberalization and protectionism, that Canada has been advocating in the Uruguay and Doha rounds of negotiations on agriculture since 1985? The thesis starts with the assumption that the Canadian government has had a preference for free trade and market-based economic policies since the 1980s. The question is therefore less about explaining Canada’s dual position, but rather about explaining why Canada continues to defend supply management, a system that appears to be in contradiction with its policy preferences. The thesis explores two arguments. First, it analyses the lobbying power of the farmers’ organizations from the supply-managed sectors and from the export-dependent sectors. Second, the thesis evaluates the impact of the concentration of supply-managed farms in Quebec and Ontario. It looks at the effect of support by these two provincial governments, at electoral motivations behind the maintenance of supply management as well as at Quebec separatism and nationalism. Finally, the thesis presents the importance of corporatism in the continued governmental support to supply management.

▼ This dissertation consists of three papers on
agricultural risk management and producer decision making. The first paper estimates the potential for federal crop insurance subsidies to crowd-out participation in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Using an instrumental variables (IV) regression technique, I find that crop insurance removes a small amount of land from CRP and that crowding-out effects vary by land use heterogeneity. The second paper explores the effects of crop insurance agent market structure on the insurance decisions of producers. The paper uses a comprehensive insurance
policy-level dataset to estimate the relationship between agent market power and insurance coverage. Results indicate that agent market power matters for insurance decisions, though effects vary by region. Generally, insurance agents use market power to influence producers in ways that improve actuarial profitability. The third chapter analyzes the determinants of calving intervals in Western Kenya and explores how improvements in herd fertility affect household milk production, consumption, and nutrition.

▼ Esta dissertação tem como objetivo realizar um estudo da evolução da indústria de máquinas agrícolas em dois mercados diferentes: o mercado norte-americano e o brasileiro. Deseja-se analisar como esta indústria se desenvolveu levando em consideração fatores da estrutura industrial, como também questões relacionadas à política econômica e agrícola. Utilizou-se uma metodologia analítica descritiva, iniciando o trabalho com uma revisão teórica dos fatores industriais e de política agrícola que podem influenciar a indústria e o mercado de máquinas agrícolas. Após tal revisão teórica iniciam-se os estudos das indústrias nos países citados. Primeiramente analisou-se o caso dos Estados Unidos, desde a formação do setor até o atual estágio de desenvolvimento daquele mercado. Os capítulos subsequentes fazem a mesma análise, mas com vistas ao caso brasileiro, dando ênfase na importância que o Estado teve na formação da indústria de máquinas agrícolas e o papel por ele desempenhado para estimular as vendas de tratores e demais máquinas através do crédito agrícola para investimento. Analisou-se a evolução da indústria brasileira desde seu nascimento, seu auge ocorrido durante o período 1960-1980, a crise que enfrentou entre 1980 e 1990, bem como sua posterior recuperação com o início dos anos 2000. As principais conclusões que este trabalho chegou foram que, a evolução desta indústria nos países estudados se deu de forma diferenciada. Enquanto no caso norte-americano o setor se desenvolveu de forma mais autônoma, isto é, sem tanta interferência estatal, no caso brasileiro somente pode-se pensar o desenvolvimento desta indústria levando em consideração a intervenção estatal, tanto por meio de incentivos para a criação da indústria quanto por meio do crédito subsidiado que fomentou as vendas. No caso norte-americano a indústria se desenvolveu através da capacidade inovadora de seus empresários, sem a intervenção direta do governo. Quando esta ocorreu deu-se em termos de políticas agrícolas que, ao sustentar o preço dos produtos agrícolas via política de preços mínimos, induziu os produtores rurais a se tornarem mais produtivos, adotando as novas máquinas existentes. Outra conclusão foi que durante as décadas de 1980-1990 tanto no Brasil quanto nos Estados Unidos o Estado se manteve ausente, tanto em termos setoriais quanto em termos de política agrícola, mesmo período no qual ambos os mercados de máquinas enfrentaram graves crises Tal indústria somente voltaria a se recuperar em 1990, no caso americano, e nos anos 2000 no caso brasileiro. Nos Estados Unidos a recuperação foi acompanhada por uma nova onda de inovações, principalmente com o surgimento da eletrônica embarcada e com a agricultura de precisão. Tal tecnologia chegaria no Brasil por volta dos anos 2000, dando novo ânimo ao setor, juntamente com o novo programa de financiamento lançado pelo governo brasileiro para modernização da frota agrícola, o MODERFROTA, que impulsionou as vendas de máquinas. Em termos mundiais os Estados Unidos consolidaram-se como difusores de…

▼ American farmers agree that the current 2014 Farm Bill Title I safety net programs are effective and have worked as they were designed. However, due to steadily declining crop prices and difficult
agricultural economic times, there is a growing need for improvement of the timing of Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and
Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) payments. In the current state of the American
agricultural economy, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for farmers to cash flow and to obtain operating loans from lenders. For this reason, Congress is working to find a solution in the upcoming 2018 Farm Bill so farmers can be paid sooner than they are under the current farm bill. This research was conducted at the request of the Chief Economist of the House
Agricultural Committee, Bart Fischer.
The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative payment timing options by calculating a new marketing year average (MYA) price series for determining PLC and ARC payments. A stochastic simulation model was used to estimate the probability of triggering commodity program payments for the baseline and four alternative formulas for calculating MYA prices. Several outcomes were examined with attention primarily focused on the forecasted 2017 MYA prices for the baseline and alternatives, the 2017 forecasted ARC government payments, and the 2017 forecasted PLC government payments.
Stochastic Efficiency with Respect to a Function (SERF) analysis results indicated that most farmers prefer the Last Twelve First Five (L12F5) alternative because it has the overall highest program payments, but overall farmers are undecided on which alternative price series they prefer. Additionally, the results for the 12-month baseline price series is preferred by taxpayers because it has the lowest amount of government payments. It is important to note that there is not a single alternative that both producers and taxpayers agree upon, therefore, no assumptions may be drawn at this point and farther analysis is needed.

▼ This dissertation broadly looks at farmers' use of agricultural practices that affect water quality in Iowa. Primary themes across these three studies include (1) farmers' willingness to use conservation practices that can improve soil health and water quality, (2) the effects of agri-environmental policy on adoption of conservation practices, and (3) the effects of land tenure on farmers' use of inputs and conservation practices.
Chapter 2 examines whether cost-share programs – which pay farmers to use a specific conservation practice – have had the desired effect of increasing cover-crop use in Iowa. Using a matching estimator, I conclude that cost-share recipients plant cover crops on an additional 15% of their farmland than they would have in absence of payment.
In chapter 3, I study how landowner characteristics affect the use of conservation practices. The chapter focuses on whether leasing versus operating owned farmland decreases the use of conservation practices. I find that cover crops, buffer strips, and ponds/sediment basins are used at lower rates on rented farmland than on owner-operated farmland. However, no-till is used at a higher rate on rented farmland compared to owner-operated farmland. I also find that non-operator landowners have practices on their farmland at lesser rates than do landowners who currently farm.
Chapter 4 uses data envelopment analysis and a panel of farms to estimate an efficient input-output frontier for corn production and calculate farms' efficiencies. I then evaluate how productivity has changed over time and whether efficiency differs by farm size and land tenure. Technical efficiency increased between the first half of the period (2011-2014) and the second (2015-2018). Additionally, I find that larger farms are more technically efficient than smaller farms, and fully rented farms more technically efficient than fully owner-operated farms.

▼ My dissertation consists of two chapters, which are both centered on the analysis of international economic policy. In the first chapter, ``Relocation Cost, Time Inconsistency, and the Temptation of Protection", I show that important aspects of agricultural support policy across developed economies emerge as features of the optimal policy of a government with a redistribution motive that lacks the ability to commit to its future policies. I document that, in the data, transfers to the agricultural sector are higher and more persistent over time in countries where the gap in productivity between agriculture and the rest of the economy is larger. This evidence is at odds with the benchmark with commitment, which prescribes a decreasing sequence of transfers to the low productivity sector to provide incentives to relocate. Without commitment, the government has a temptation to redistribute ex post, which depends on the gap in productivity between sectors. When the agricultural productivity gap is large, this temptation is strong, and the commitment outcome cannot be sustained. When the gap is small, the policy without commitment mimics the benchmark with commitment. In a quantitative exercise, I show that the policy without commitment can account for roughly 30% of the cross-sectional variance in the persistence of transfers to the agricultural sector over time. The second chapter, ``Migration and the State", joint with Zachary Mahone, studies the interaction between social insurance and migration policy. Governments in many countries help insure citizens against idiosyncratic risk. There is a long recognized tension between the potential gains from opening borders (increasing economic opportunity) and closing them (supporting state insurance). We develop a game-theoretic model of two countries that strategically interact in setting insurance and migration policies. We ask whether limits on mobility are a natural result of insurance provision, how equilibrium policies depend on the characteristics of the two countries and if these policies are efficient.

▼ Given the emphasis placed on the US alliance and engagement with the Asia-Pacific region, Australian foreign policy can appear restricted in its focus. Australia’s approach to relations with the European Union (EU) reflects this situation, as they attracted limited attention and were centred on a number of bilateral disputes up until the early 1990s. This thesis, which examines the period up until the announcement of the opening of free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations in 2017, argues, however, that Australia over the past two decades has forged an increasingly close relationship with the EU. This development has involved an emphasis on substantive cooperation in areas such as foreign and security policy, aid delivery, economic and trade matters, and climate change. Two case studies, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Eurozone crisis, are used to demonstrate the transformation of Australian perceptions of the EU. This has seen the EU transitions from an actor behaving in a manner contrary to Australian interests to now being a politico-economic ally. These case studies also demonstrate how Australia’s past emphasis on bilateral disputes has been largely overcome with the signing of substantive bilateral agreements predicated on shared interests.

▼ Although severe poverty and difficult climatic conditions for crop production created acute food insecurity among many small maize producers in parts of Honduras in the 1980s, this thesis focuses on the widespread phenomenon of chronic and endemic vulnerability found in less critically affected parts of the country. It argues that a major cause of food insecurity among small maize producers in the 1980s lay in the complex nature of social relations of production and exchange for maize. Nevertheless, policy debates and directions in Honduras tended to side-step these complexities. Small maize farmers were vulnerable to food insecurity because of their exchange relations with other farmers, traders and state institutions over land, labour, finance and output. These exchanges combined commoditized, personalized and noncommoditized relations. They also involved inequality and power, reciprocity and assistance, as well as forms of economic coercion. Exchanges of land and labour between commercial and semi-proletarian farmers, as well as loans made by commercial to semi-proletarian farmers, helped to sustain the maize production of both social groups. Although these relations provided some security on an unequal basis for semi-proletarian farmers, indebtedness prevented them from improving their livelihoods from maize. Thus while most commercial farmers interviewed were able to make profits from maize production, semi-proletarian farmers continued in stagnation. Petty commodity maize producers as well as commercial farmers tended to establish relations with state and state-linked institutions for credit, technical assistance, and sometimes for output markets. However, petty commodity producers could also experience difficulties in reproducing maize production. In particular, their incorporation into state-linked projects to increase output and productivity could increase the risk of debt and left many in a position of 'insecure transformation'. Semi-proletarian maize farmers could break the cycle of 'secure stagnation' by organizing collectively to gain land and establish new social relations of production and exchange. However, there were many risks and difficulties for these groups, and struggling groups might still maintain some relations of patronage to survive. A key distinction between maize production and trade was that the latter was driven by profits while the former continued in production even though many farmers had negative net cash incomes. Traders' profits also depended on social differentiation, by wealth and task in trade, as on the differentiation of farmers from whom they purchased maize. Personalized relations also helped to ensure profits from trade. Although maize trade involved many participants and was apparently competitive, local traders (including commercial maize farmers) could establish debt relations with semi-proletarian farmers which put the latter at a disadvantage in output markets, especially with respect to the time of maize sales and hence prices received. Market alternatives for…

▼ Abstract: This thesis analyzes the coherence between the discourse and the actions implemented within the government relating to small family farming in the last decade in Brazil, focusing on two levels: a macro, that of national public policies, and a meso, or institutional, concerning institutional research programmes of EMBRAPA (Brazilian
Agricultural Research Corporation). Despite the fact that these institutional programmes are part of the national public policies, the decision to treat them separately and perform the analysis on two levels was due to the specificities of programmes related to small family farming. More than being another interpretative view of the
subject, this thesis seeks to contribute to the "studies on the prospects of small family farming," stressing the cognitive dimension as a factor supporting the farmers in the current context of intense modernization. Building on two theoretical and methodological approaches (
Policy Analysis and organizational studies) the thesis identifies the characteristics and trends prevalent in these two levels. Through the reconstruction of the trajectory of federal policies and actions of EMBRAPA, focusing mainly on the most recent period (year 2000), it was possible to identify some interesting dynamics. At the level of federal
policy, there was a mismatch with regard to the degree of radicalism of proposals. Allied to this, it was noted the prevalence of a "plural" discourse and a more moderate course of action, based on compromises. At the institutional level, it was observed that the proposed
policy (federal and institutional) was strongly rejected by the hegemonic group. It was noted, also, the prevalence of an inarticulate and conservative discourse. Moreover, the attempt to dampen the conflict between small family farming and agribusiness is clear. The thesis concludes that although the change was very small at the federal level in terms of needs, one would expect it to have induced some significant changes in the research agenda of EMBRAPA, which was not observed

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess planning and delivering
agricultural extension activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq for future program implementation. The study was a descriptive research and used a modified Delphi technique to identify needed improvements and highlight barriers in planning and delivering extension activities by the willingness of extension workers. The population of the study was 50 MOAWR purposely selected government employees consisted of 10 extension experts, 15 extension administrators, and 25 extension agents. The study used three rounds web-based survey questionnaires.
In Round I, the panelists were responded to two open ended questions to identify needed improvements and barriers in planning and delivering extension activities. The gathered information from Round I was examined, organized, and combined to create the second questionnaire for Round II. In Round II, the panelists were indicated their levels of agreement or disagreement about each needed improvement and barrier. The study employed a six-Likert scale with 1=”Strongly Agree”, 2=”Agree”, 3=”Somewhat Agree”, 4=”Somewhat Disagree”, 5=”Disagree”, and 6=”Strongly Disagree”. The needed improvements and barriers that received two-thirds of agreement (numbers 1 and 2 in the six-point Likert scale) were used to create the third questionnaire for Round III. In Round III, panelists were developed consensus by rating the statements that received two-third agreement in Round II. Equally, the same Round II six-point Likert scale was used in Round III.
The result findings of the study were revealed to the demands of extension
policy implementation in the region. The results of the study were summarized in three overall implementation theme areas: community based program development, building capacity program, and institutional structuring and three distinct research areas: leadership in extension, personal traits of extension agents, and external communication. Furthermore, the results of the study provided key points and details for each implementation theme and distinct research area.

▼ In spite of the actual crisis of the Lebanese farming sector, agriculture remains a very important activity for Lebanon. It plays a major role to ensure the food security of the country; it occupies an important place within local and international trade; and it contributes extremely in the stabilization and the strengthening of the socioeconomic situation of the rural areas; without forgetting its impact on the natural environment of the country. In response to the problems and constraints which restrict the productivity and the efficiency of the Lebanese agriculture, and further to the years of war and destruction, and with the absence of a national
agricultural policy; the international community and the Lebanese civil society engaged themselves to revitalize and develop this sector, throughout financing a big number of
agricultural development projects.
Based on several researches which link the concepts of
agricultural marketing and value chain, to the process of
agricultural and rural development, and by taking into consideration the Lebanese postwar context (the reconstruction of the country, the increase of regional disparities, and the importance of agriculture for the Lebanese society), the objective of this thesis, is to study the
agricultural and rural development projects, their evolution, the stakeholders who are involved in this process, and their contribution in the elaboration and implementation of national
agricultural policy. The research concerns particularly the case of the olive oil sector and its links with the different
agricultural development projects.
To answer the initial question of the research: what role play the
agricultural development projects at the level of the
agricultural value chain? And how do they contribute to the elaboration of a national
agricultural policy? Observations, discussions and inquiries were undertaken in Lebanon with the stakeholders of the development system and with farmers who did or did not benefit from development projects.
According to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data collected during the field work period, it has been proved that the
agricultural development projects intervene at several levels of the
agricultural value chain, with a higher integration in the upstream of the chain. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that all the projects are far from contributing to the elaboration and the implementation of a national
agricultural policy, because of the lack of coordination between the different stakeholders of this system, especially regarding activities pooling, results consolidation, in addition to the weaknesses in the projects management system. These projects are implemented with a short term perspective and with the logic of sporadic aids, instead of being integrated in holistic process of long-term economic and territorial development, in coherence with a national
agricultural policy.
As it has already been proved by several authors and in many researches, the development projects are not a magical solution…

▼ Viljakylvösiemensektorin toimintaympäristön muutoksiin on hyvä valmistautua ennalta ja pohtia toimintatapoja, joiden turvin toimia muuttuvassa toimintaympäristössä. Suomen kylvösiemenmarkkinat ovat pienentyneet voimakkaasti 1980-luvun lopulta lähtien. 2000-luvulla sertifioidun siemenen käyttöaste on ollut keskimäärin vain 30 % ja viljojen kohdalla käyttöaste on ollut tätäkin alhaisempi. Tulevaisuudessa yhteisen maatalouspolitiikan uudistukset, kiristyvä kilpailu, ilmastonmuutos, teknologian kehitys, kulutustottumusten muutokset sekä lähivuosina uudistava EU:n siemenlainsäädäntö tulevat muokkaamaan alan toimintaympäristöä.
Jotta tulevaisuuden haasteisiin voidaan vastata, kartoitettiin tutkimuksessa asiantuntijoiden näkemyksiä siitä, mitkä ovat tuotantoketjun ongelmakohdat sekä alan toiminnan edistämismahdollisuudet. Työn teoreettisena viitekehyksenä oli toimialan taloustiede. Teorian rakennetta käytettiin siemenalan ongelmakohtien jäsentämiseen ja toimenpide-ehdotusten kartoittamiseen.
Asiantuntijat näkivät sertifioidun siemenen heikkoon kysyntään vaikuttavan korvaavien tuotteiden, eli tilan oman kylvösiemen ja sertifioimattomana markkinoidun kylvösiemenen ns. harmaan siemenen, yleisyys. Tilan oman siemenen kohdalla suurin epäkohta on sen arvottamisessa. Harmaan siemenen käytön suosioon vaikuttavat sen edullisuuden lisäksi myös kaupan asiakaslähtöisyys. Sertifioidun siemenen kysyntää heikentävät myös puutteelliset markkinointitavat, kausivaihtelu sekä siemenmyyjien tietämättömyys viljelijöiden ostokäyttäytymisestä.
Tarjonnan epäkohdiksi nousivat siemenestä saatava hinta, tuotantotekijäsidonnaisuus sekä hukkakauran leviäminen. Siemenestä saatu hinta ei aina riitä kattamaan paljon tuotantotekijöitä vaativan siementuotannon kustannuksia. Myös hukkakauran leviäminen vaikeuttaa ja rajoittaa tuotannon lisäämistä. Lisäksi siemenketjun kannalta ongelmia aiheuttivat teknologian ja tuotantoprosessien myönteinen mutta hidas kehitys.
Markkinan rakenteen ongelmakohtina olivat markkinoiden oligopolisuisuus sekä tuotteiden tehoton erilaistaminen asiakkaiden tarpeiden mukaisesti. Alan yritysrakenteen todettiin olevan pienyritysvaltainen ja osin tehoton, vaikka rakennekehitystä onkin viime vuosina tapahtunut. Alalle tulon esteet liittyvät siemenviljelijöiden ja -pakkaajien kohdalla läheisesti tuotantotekijäsidonnaisuuteen sekä hukkakauran leviämiseen ja hukkakauralainsäädäntöön. Vastaavasti Suomen syrjäinen sijainti ja ilmasto- olosuhteet ovat pitäneet ulkomaisen kilpailun vähäisenä. Toimialan kustannusten todettiin jakaantuneen epätasaisesti siemenketjun toimijoiden välillä. Kustannusrakenteen todettiin olevan nykyisellään kestämätön ja tilanteen todettiin korjaantuvan ainoastaan tuntuvalla volyymin kasvulla. Lisäksi toimijoiden välinen vertikaalinen integraatio nähtiin vähäiseksi, vaikka sillä olisi merkittävä vaikutus tuotannon kannattavuuteen.
Asiantuntijat näkivät maatalouspolitiikan sekä markkinoiden ja talouden muutosten etenevän eri suuntiin. Suurimpina epäkohtina nousivat siementuotannon tuen loppuminen sekä lainsäädännön…

▼ Maataloudessa riskit vaikuttavat merkittävästi tulon muodostumiseen ja siten viljelijöiden hyvinvointiin. Säähän liittyvien riskien lisäksi maataloustuottajien altistuminen tuloriskeille on lisääntynyt. Euroopan unionin yhteisen maatalouspolitiikan CAP 2020 -uudistuksen yhteydessä on herännyt kiinnostus riskienhallinnan välineiden hyödyntämiseen. Kiinnostuksen kohteena on ollut Kanadassa käytössä oleva tulovakuuttamiseen perustuva järjestelmä, jossa viljelijän tulot määritellään käyttökatteen avulla.
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten Kanadan tulovakuuttamisen malli toimisi, jos sitä sovellettaisiin Suomen kannattavuuskirjanpitotiloista viljatiloille. Lisäksi tutkimusongelmina oli selvittää, kuinka paljon viljatilojen käyttökatteet ovat tarkasteluajanjaksolla vaihdelleet, kuinka paljon kassaja suoriteperusteisen aineiston käyttökatteet eroavat toisistaan ja miksi, kuinka paljon satovahinkokorvauksia on tarkasteluajanjaksolla maksettu ja ovatko satovahinkokorvaukset tasanneet käyttökatteen vaihtelua sekä mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat viljatilan käyttökatteen muodostumiseen.
Aineistona tutkielmassa käytettiin Maa- ja elintarviketalouden tutkimuskeskuksen (MTT) ylläpitämää maatalouden kannattavuuskirjanpitoaineistoa vuosilta 1998–2009. Tarkasteluun poimittiin viljatilat, joita oli mukana aineistossa yhteensä 403 kappaletta.
Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että tarkastelun kohteena olleiden tilojen keskimääräinen kassaperusteinen ja suoriteperusteinen käyttökate eroavat selvästi toisistaan. Suoriteperusteisessa aineistossa vuosien väliset vaihtelut ovat hyvin merkittäviä. Kassaperusteiseen käyttökatteen vaihtelut ovat sen sijaan maltillisempia. Kassaperusteiseen käyttökatteeseen viljelijät voivat itse vaikuttaa ajoittamalla ostoja ja myyntejä. Tutkimuksen tuloksista onkin selvästi havaittavissa, että viljelijät itse toimivat aktiivisesti tavoitteenaan tasata tuloja ja käyttökatetta.
Tarkastelun kohteena olleille tiloille on maksettu vuosittain satovahinkokorvauksia hyvin vaihtelevasti. Satovahinkokorvauksilla ei ole keskimäärin ollut merkittävää vaikutusta tilojen käyttökatteiden suuruuteen. Korvausten taloudellinen merkitys yksittäisille tiloille voi sitä vastoin olla hyvinkin tärkeä, ja tässä satovahinkojen korvausjärjestelmä osoittaa tarpeellisuutensa. Kun järjestelmän avulla voidaan taloudellisesti auttaa yksittäisiä viljelijöitä, siitä hyötyy lopulta myös koko maatalouselinkeino.
Viljatilojen käyttökatteisiin vaikuttavia tekijöitä tutkittiin ekonometrisen mallinnuksen regressioanalyysin avulla. Mallinnuksen perusteella tilan viljelyala, viljan tuottajahinnat, lannoitteiden ja maanparannusaineiden hinnat sekä maataloustuet ja tehoisa lämpösumma 1.-15. kesäkuuta vaikuttavat viljatilan käyttökatteeseen. Mallilla voidaan selittää noin 56 prosenttia käyttökatteen vaihtelusta.

▼ Koulumaitotuki on maidon tukiohjelma, jonka avulla tuetaan Euroopan unionin lasten ja nuorten maidon ja eräiden maitovalmisteiden käyttöä kouluruokailun yhteydessä. Koulumaitojärjestelmä luotiin 1970-luvulla päätarkoituksenaan maitomarkkinoiden tasapainottaminen ja ylituotannon purkaminen. Sittemmin ohjelman tärkeänä tavoitteena on ollut saada lapset ja nuoret käyttämään maitotuotteita päivittäisessä ruokavaliossa maidon sisältämien hyvien ravitsemuksellisten ominaisuuksien vuoksi. Tukeen oikeutettujen tuotteiden valikoima on vuosien kuluessa muuntunut täysmaidosta vähärasvaisiin ja rasvattomiin maitotuotteisiin.
Tutkielman tavoitteena oli tutkia miten maidon käytölle maksettava tuki Suomessa vaikuttaa maitoa ja maitotuotteita koskeviin hankintapäätöksiin sekä hakijatyypin (kunta vs. yksityinen koulu ja -päiväkoti) ja hakijan kokoluokan ja maantieteellisen sijainnin vaikutusta siihen hankitaanko toimipisteisiin enemmän tukikelpoisia vai tuettomia maitotuotteita. Kuluttajan ostopäätöksiin vaikuttavat tulo- ja hintatekijöiden lisäksi tarpeet, odotukset, asenteet, ryhmäjäsenyydet, esimerkki ja neuvot, vaikuttajayksilöiden suositukset, kulutusarvot ja normit sekä varsinkin markkinointikeinot kuten myynti ja mainonta. Kuluttajan käyttäytyminen vaihtelee lisäksi muun muassa hyödykeryhmittäin, alueittain ja ajoittain. Sosiaaliset tekijät selittävät kuluttajakäyttäytymisen toistuvia säännönmukaisuuksia. Organisaatiossa ryhmän muut jäsenet sekä organisaation rakenne vaikuttavat ostoryhmän päätöksiin. Elintarvikkeiden kulutuksen ohjaukseen vaikutetaan myös mm. informaatio-ohjauksen keinoin.
Suomessa kouluille ja päiväkodeille maksetaan EU:n tukea maidon ja maitovalmisteiden käyttöön. Tuki määräytyy kulutuksen mukaisesti ja enimmillään sitä voi saada 2,5 desilitralle maitoa oppilasta ja koulupäivää kohti. Lukuvuonna 2010–2011 lähes kaksi kolmasosaa kouluissa käytetystä maidosta oli rasvatonta ja maitoa toimitettiin manner-Suomen ja Ahvenanmaan kouluihin yli 16 miljoonaa litraa.
Tutkimusaineisto koostuu Maaseutuviraston keväällä 2010 tekemästä kyselytutkimuksesta kaikille koulumaitotuen kuntahakijoille ja tuen itse hakeville yksityisille kouluille ja päiväkodeille, vastauksia analysoitavaksi oli 89 kpl. Tutkimusote oli kvantitatiivinen. Tulosten mukaan kuntahakijat hankkivat toimipaikkoihinsa enemmän tukikelpoisia tuotteita kuin yksityiset koulut ja päiväkodit. Enemmän tuettomia kuin tukikelpoisia tuotteita hankitaan vain vähän, yhteensä 6,7 prosenttiin kaikista toimipaikoista. Kuntahakijat ovat vaihtaneet kevytmaidon ykkösmaitoon ja rasvattomaan maitoon korkeammalla osuudella kuin yksityiset koulut ja päiväkodit. Myös toimipaikan maantieteellisellä sijainnilla on vaikutusta siihen onko siirrytty käyttämään ykkösmaitoa ja rasvatonta maitoa kevytmaidon sijaan. Tuki on kokonaisuudessaan ohjannut ostovalintoja rasvattomampiin maitotuotteisiin, vaikka koulumaitotuen maksettu kokonaispotti on laskenut n. 15 prosenttia vuoden 2009 määrästä (4,5 milj. euroa) vuoteen 2010 verrattuna rasvaisempien tuotteiden poistuttua tuettujen…

▼ Maailmanlaajuinen biopolttoaineiden tuotanto on kasvanut jatkuvasti tällä vuosituhannella. Biopolttoaineet on nähty keinona ehkäistä ilmastonmuutosta, vähentää liikenteen riippuvuutta fossiilisista öljyvaroista ja edistää maaseudun kehitystä. Kannustavana tekijänä ovat toimineet viralliset edistämistoimenpiteet, jotka ovat luoneet edellytykset sekä kysynnän että tarjonnan kasvamiseen. Positiivisten odotusten vastakaiuksi on muodostunut huoli biomassojen tuotannon kestävyydestä ja vaikutuksesta ruokaturvaan.
Tässä tutkimuksessa käsitellään Yhdysvaltojen, Brasilian ja Euroopan unionin biopolttoainemarkkinoiden hintavaihtelua ja hintaan vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat pellonkäytön kannalta kansainvälisessä kaupassa liikkuvat olennaisimmat bioenergiatuotteet, eli liikennekäyttöön tarkoitetut nestebiopolttoaineet; bioetanoli ja biodiesel. Näihin kysymyksiin vastataan kirjallisuuden ja empiirisen ekonometrisen mallintamisen pohjalta. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys perustuu hintateoriaan ja tutkimusmenetelmänä käytetään ekonometristä estimointia.
Tässä tutkimuksessa estimoitiin Brasilian bioetanolin, Yhdysvaltojen bioetanolin ja biodieselin markkinahintojen kehitys. Aineistot estimoitiin klassisen pienimmän neliösumman menetelmällä. Tutkimuksessa rakennettiin yksinkertaisia ekonometrisia malleja, joilla voidaan kuvata bioetanolin ja biodieselin hintavaihteluita. Mallit rakennettiin kirjallisuuden ja hintateorian perusteella. Yhdysvaltojen bioetanolin selittäviksi tekijöiksi valittiin maissin hinta, raakaöljyn hinta, bensiinin hinta, maakaasu hinta, katetuotto ja politiikan ohjelmakausi dummy-muuttujana. Yhdysvaltojen biodieselin selittäviksi tekijöiksi valittiin soijaöljyn hinta, raakaöljyn hinta, dieselin hinta, metanolin hinta, soijaöljyn nettokustannukset ja politiikan ohjelmakausi dummy-muuttujana. Brasilian bioetanolin selittäviksi muuttujiksi valittiin sokerin hinta, raakaöljyn hinta, bensiinin hinta, nestekaasun hinta ja politiikan ohjelmakausi dummy-muuttujana.
Yhdysvaltojen bioetanolin hintaa kuvaavan log-lineaarisen mallin selittävistä muuttujista kaikki muuttujat olivat tilastollisesti merkitseviä paitsi raakaöljyn hinta. Yhdysvaltojen biodieselin hintaa kuvaavan log-lineaarisen mallin selittävistä muuttujista ainoastaan raakaöljyn hinta oli tilastollisesti merkitsevä. Brasilian bioetanolin hintaa kuvaavan log-lineaarisen mallin selittavistä muuttujista sokerin hinta, bensiinin hinta ja politiikan ohjelmakausi olivat merkitseviä. Kaikissa näissä malleissa autokorrelaatiota pyrittiin vähentämään Cochrane-Orcuttin menetelmää hyödynhtämällä. Heteroskedastisuutta pyrittiin vähentämään käyttämällä apuna Whiten korjattuja keskivirhe-estimaatteja.
Tutkimuksessa saadut joustokertoimet olivat pieniä, mikä kertoo markkinoilla tapahtuvien hinnan muutosten vaikuttavan suhteessa vähemmän biopolttoaineiden hintoihin. Poikkeuksen tekee Brasilian bioetanolin hintaa kuvaavan log-lineaarisen mallin bensiinin joustokerroin (2,62), mikä kertoo bioetanolin hintavaihteluiden olevan melko joustavia…
