Ramped calibration strips have been suggested as a way for grain producers to determine nitrogen needs more accurately …. The strips use incrementally increasing levels of nitrogen and enable producers to conduct an experiment in each field to … determine nitrogen needs. This study determines whether predictions from the program Ramp Analyzer 1.2 are replicable in …

Previous empirical works on municipal efficiency have mostly used cross-sectional data which makes it impossible to … results. We present one of the first longitudinal parametric studies that analyze municipal efficiency and its determinants … using a one step procedure. Furthermore, we are the first of this kind that analize overall efficiency as well as efficiency …
