Estimating Economic Gains for Landowners Due to Time-Dependent Changes in Biotechnology
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a model for examining the economic value of biotechnological research given time-dependent changes in biotechnology. Previous papers examined this issue assuming a time-neutral change in biotechnology. However, when analyzing the genetic improvements of increasing a tree’s resistance to a pathogen, this assumption is untenable. We derive analytical expressions for the optimal rotation age given non-constant changes in biotechnology. Our model is then implemented using (1) growth and yield simulations, (2) optimal rotation calculations, and (3) survey data on genetic resistance of slash pine (Pinus elliotti/] to fusiform rust. Non-parametric regression models are used to estimate the economic gain functions which, forthe cases considered, averaged about 1% of forestland value per year. FOR. SCI. 45(2):163-170. Additional

The Impact of Effective Corporate Governance on the Relationship between Tax Gap and Future Profit Changes in Iranian Economy
The Iranian economy in recent years is due to the development of economic sanctions, a sharp decline in the price of oil and the deficit resulting from revenue - dependent on oil revenues and the trend towards tax revenues. While comparing the volume of the Iranian economy with the amount of tax income indicates the existence of a relatively significant tax gap. The tax gap is the difference be...
متن کاملInvestigation of Temporal Phenomena of Sediment Rating Curve and comparison of it with the Some Statistical Methods for Estimating Suspended Sediment Load (Case study: Gamasiab Watershed)
The variable and complex nature of the sediment load of rivers has led that the estimation of sediment entering the reservoirs and the production of long term sediment, for determining the lifetime of the structures encounter with the problem. Application of sediment rating curves is one of the most common methods for estimating the suspended sediment load of rivers. Regardless of the accuracy ...
متن کاملAn economic production model for deteriorating items and time dependent demand with rework and multiple production setups
Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and the environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on developing rework model, but few of them have developed model for deteriorating items. Due to t...
متن کاملEconomic Order Quantity for Deteriorating Items with Non Decreasing Demand and Shortages Under Inflation and Time Discounting
Some products like green vegetables, volatile liquids and others deteriorate continuously due to evaporation, spoilage etc. In this study, an inventory model is developed for deteriorating items with linearly time dependent demand rate under inflation and time discounting over a finite planning horizon. Shortages are allowed and linearly time dependent. Mathematical model is presented for the p...

There are various ways for estimating velocity of money in economic literature and each has its own specific weaknesses and strengths. Particularly, since a great deal of financial innovations and changes have recently taken place affecting the velocity of money, many traditional methods can no langer calculate the equilibrium velocity of money, and they are no longer dependable from the econom...
