Indirect Land Use Effects of Corn Ethanol in the U.S: Implications for the Conservation Reserve Program
Chen, Xiaoguang; Khanna, Madhu - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
We developed an integrated model of U.S agricultural and transportation sectors to examine the impacts of corn ethanol production on the reduction in CRP enrollment and grassland conversion during the period 2007-2012. We also examine the extent to which ethanol production raised the budgetary...

What Drives the Adoption of Clean Agricultural Technologies? An Ex Ante Assessment of Sustainable Biofuel Production in Southwestern Wisconsin
Mooney, Daniel F.; Barham, Bradford L. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
This paper explores the farmer’s general decision to adopt a clean agricultural production technology and the particular role of pro-social behavior. We hypothesize that pro-social behavior may influence farmers’ individual valuation of clean technologies through two channels, their beliefs...
