This paper uses a model combining three strands within the bioeconomic literature: spatial management, pest and nuisance management, and enforcement under different ecological dispersal processes (i.e., sink-source versus density-dependent) to illustrate the dual management policy (i.e.,...

We study the influence of agricultural labor intensity on individualism across U.S. counties. To measure historical labor intensity in agriculture we combine data on crop-specific labor requirements and county-specific crop mix around 1900. To address endogeneity we exploit climate-induced...

This paper shows how to remove attenuation bias in regression analyses due to measurement error in historical data for a given variable of interest by using a secondary measure which can be easily generated from digitized newspapers. We provide three methods for using this secondary variable to...

Off-target movement of dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzonic acid) has been one of the most significant and controversial issues to affect the production of non-dicamba-resistant (DR) soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in recent years. Although the yield response of non-DR soybean to off-target...
