We investigate differences in profitability of three Aberdeen-influenced breeds, Angus, Red Angus, and American Aberdeen. Using data from North Dakota, we measure differences in birth weights, calving intervals, weaning weights, cow weights, and profitability. Weaning weights differ between...

This paper proposes a new method for ex ante analysis of the poverty impacts arising from policy reforms. Three innovations underlie this approach. The first is the estimation of a global demand system using a combination of micro-data from household surveys and macro-data from the International...

Anecdotal evidence suggests that agricultural land values are influenced by recreational demands, in particular hunting. This study estimated that the impact that hunting pressure, beef prices, and lagged land values had on county-level pasture values in North Dakota. Using panel data from...
