  1. Quantifying the uncertainties in estimating the heterogeneous effects of carbon taxes on labor, land, water, and fertilizer use in US agriculture

    17 May 2023 | Contributor(s): Iman Haqiqi

    Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the 2023 Agricultural & Applied Economics Association Annual Meeting, Washington DC; July 23-25, 2023 Potential carbon taxes will have spatially heterogeneous impacts on agriculture. The magnitude of impacts depends on 1) the direct and...

  3. A review of global-local-global linkages in economic land-use/cover change models

    04 May 2019 | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Thales A P West, Jan Börner, Nelson Benjamin Villoria

    Global change drivers of land-use/cover change (LUCC) like population dynamics, economic development, and climate change are increasingly important to local sustainability studies, and can only be properly analyzed at fine-scales that capture local biophysical and socio-economic conditions. When...

  4. Using spatially explicit data to improve our understanding of land supply responses: An application to the cropland effects of global sustainable irrigation in the Americas

    09 Aug 2018 | Contributor(s): Nelson Benjamin Villoria, Jing Liu

    Land supply elasticities determine the rates of land conversion in global policy models. However, they are only available for few countries in the world. Therefore, analysts seeking to improve the spatial resolution of their models are forced to impose regionally homogeneous parameters...

  6. Assessing the Impacts of Climate Mitigation Policies on Poverty in Developing Countries

    01 Aug 2014 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel

    This is the presentation made to the African Agriculture GIS week conference.BioPrepared by Thomas Hertel with assistance from Zekarias Hussein, based on collaboration with Alla Golub, Ben Henderson, Pierre Gerber, Steve Rose and Brent SohngenCreditsFunding from the FAO and the Center for Global...

  7. Energy prices will play an important role in determining global land use in the twenty first century

    31 Jul 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Jevgenijs Steinbuks, Tom Hertel

    Global land use research to date has focused on quantifying uncertainty effects of three major drivers affecting competition for land: the uncertainty in energy and climate policies affecting competition between food and biofuels, the uncertainty of climate impacts on agriculture and forestry,...

  9. A seasonal-scale climatological analysis correlating spring tornadic activity with antecedent fall–winter drought in the southeastern United States

    14 Jun 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Dev Niyogi

    Using rain gauge and satellite-based rainfall climatologies and the NOAA Storm PredictionCenter tornado database (1952–2007), this study found a statistically significant tendency forfall–winter drought conditions to be correlated with below-normal tornado days the followingspring in north...

  10. A copula-based joint deficit index for droughts

    31 Mar 2010 | Publications | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju

    Current drought information is based on indices that do not capture the joint behaviors of hydrologic variables. To address this limitation, the potential of copulas in characterizing droughts from multiplevariables is explored in this study. Starting from the standardized index (SI) algorithm, a...

  11. A spatio-temporal drought analysis for the Midwestern US

    15 Jun 2009 | Publications | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju, Dev Niyogi

    Droughts are prolonged abnormalities of moisture deficits that vary widely across temporal and spatial scales. Many hydrometeorologic variables are used to monitor the status of a drought. However, because of the dependence structure between all affecting variables under various temporal windows,...
