ASSISTING THE FORMER SOVIET EMPIRE: AN EXAMPLE OF THE FOREIGN AID CRISIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeuli,
Kimberly A.; Ruttan,
Vernon W.
In 1989 the revolutions in several Eastern European countries brought an end to The Soviet European empire and ultimately the
Cold War. This paper examines the effect the end of the Soviet threat had on America's foreign assistance programs in general,
and specifically on US attempts to aid the New Independent States (NIS) and the Central and Eastern European Countries
(CEECs). Over the course of the years, America's foreign assistance programs have been motivated by a combination of national
security considerations, economic self- interest, and humanitarian concerns. However, the US desire to stem Soviet expansion,
first in Europe, then in South East Asia, and then in other Third World countries, came to dominate assistance policy. When the
Soviet...

Challenging the Goldschmidt Theory of Rural Purchasing Patterns
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Foltz,
Jeremy D.; Zeuli,
Kimberly A.
This work uses unique data from three dairy dependent communities in rural Wisconsin to test established theory and empirical
studies that link farm structure to local purchasing patterns and community economic development. A theoretical model of
purchasing choices is developed to derive the determinants of local purchasing by dairy farms. This model is tested empirically
using a double bounded Tobit model. The empirical estimations find little support for any linkage between farm size and local
purchasing patterns across eleven major dairy farm inputs. The results do suggest that different community business
characteristics (the supply side) and community attachment provide some explanations for diverse purchasing patterns.

Cooperative and Area Yield Insurance: A Theoretical Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pincheira,
Pablo; Zeuli,
Kimberly A.
The purpose of this paper it to theoretically investigate the potential benefits that arise from a cooperative selling a government
subsidized area-yield contract (i.e., the Group Risk Plan).
The indemnities in area-yield contracts are triggered by a
geographically determined yield (e.g, a country-wide yield average) instead of the more conventional individual actual production
history. Therefore, an area-yield contract would be appropriate for managing the cooperative's systemic throughput risk. The
cooperative would also capture some of the substantial government subsidies that are normally given to a private insurance
company. Our primary finding is that farmers should be indifferent when considering the decisions to purchase area-yield
insurance...

Managerial Incentives, Moral Hazard, and Structural Change in Agricultural Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeuli,
Kimberly A.; Foltz,
Jeremy D.
The federated business structure exists in many sectors of the economy, but we know little about its comparative advantage. This
paper explores theoretically and empirically the current dynamics of the federated cooperative system. Two hypotheses are tested:
growth at the local co-op level has made the structure redundant and managerial incentives create disloyalty. We use a unique data
set from a survey of local farm supply and grain marketing cooperatives in the Midwest.

MANAGING YIELD RISK THROUGH A COOPERATIVE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeuli,
Kimberly A.; Skees,
Jerry R.
Developing new risk management products for all agricultural commodities has increased in importance given recent legislation.
Vegetables have been difficult to insure. This paper investigates the use of index contracts for growers belonging to a Kentucky
vegetable cooperative. Index contracts should be significantly more efficient than current crop insurance alternatives.

Measuring the Local Economic Impact of Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeuli,
Kimberly A.; Deller,
Steven C.
The ability to measure the economic importance of cooperatives to communities is not purely an academic question. Policy
makers, cooperative organizations, and community development practitioners are increasingly asking for such information. The
most commonly used methodology is input-output analysis. The limitations of input-output analysis when applied to cooperatives
have not yet been comprehensively explained in the literature, although they significantly affect the application of the model as
well as the interpretation of results. We discuss five issues that need to be addressed when using input-output models and suggest
additional analysis that should be completed to gain an accurate assessment of the local economic impact of cooperatives.

THE POTENTIAL FOR RECALL INSURANCE TO IMPROVE FOOD SAFETY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Skees,
Jerry R.; Botts,
Aleta; Zeuli,
Kimberly A.
This paper explores the food safety implications of insurance products that compensate for business losses when food
contamination causes a processing firm to initiate a recall. Discoveries of meat and poultry product contamination, in particular
life-threatening pathogens, are increasing. The financial losses that follow a recall can be substantial as illustrated by several
recent U.S. cases – Hudson Foods, Bill Mar, and Thorn Apple Valley Inc. Additionally, contaminated food product that escapes
the current recall system poses a threat to consumer safety. The conceptual analysis presented here suggests that insurance
underwriters could motivate earlier recalls and more diligent implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP)....

THE REVENUE RISK OF VALUE-BASED PRICING FOR FED CATTLE: A SIMULATION OF
GRID VS. AVERAGE PRICING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,
John D.; Zeuli,
Kimberly A.
The reluctance to adopt value-based pricing stems from a fundamental problem created by the system: increased revenue
uncertainty and variability. The literature suggests that inconsistent carcass characteristics cause revenue variability under grid
pricing. The possibility that the grid pricing structure, regardless of cattle quality variations, also causes revenue variability has
been recognized but not fully analyzed. This study quantifies the impact of grid variability over time, pen quality differentials,
and quality grade price discounts on average revenue per head for a pen of fed cattle. Grid pricing revenue results are compared
to average pricing results.

WILL SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE PLAY A ROLE IN A CARBON MARKET?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeuli,
Kimberly A.; Skees,
Jerry R.
While a carbon market offers substantial opportunities for US agriculture, regional differences in such a market are often ignored.
This paper focuses on the advantages and challenges for agriculture in the South. The potential of two promising options are
analyzed: conversion from cropland to forests and greater use of conversation tillage. It is argued that the right institutional
arrangements can overcome three fundamental challenges to an efficient carbon market: transaction costs, risk, and perverse
incentives. Some examples are given, such as the use of a farmer-owned organization and the provision of land use and carbon
information by the government.
