The proportion of land values generated by farm program payments and farm returns are examined using an extended income capitalization model. The extended income capitalization model addresses the identification issue introduced by the counter-cyclical nature of farm program payments and farm...

Restricting the timing and level of nitrogen applications has been proposed as a response to nitrate contamination in Nebraska. Agronomic research indicates that reducing available nitrogen reduces both the yield (quantity) and protein content (quality) of feedgrains. A differential system is...

This paper demonstrates the sensitivity of the linear programming approach in the estimation of productivity measures in the primal framework. Specifically, the sensitivity to the number of constraints (level of dis-aggregation) and imposition of returns to scale constraints is evaluated....
