It is very necessary to research the fluctuation of agricultural products prices as well as the data character. In this paper, the wholesale price of agricultural product is considered. The monofractal analysis and multifractal analysis methods are introduced to study wholesale price. We select the appropriate algorithm to calculate the fractal characteristics of the celery wholesale price. Res...

Much of the world’s gene pool is located in tropical rainforests, which are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Proper management of protected forests is crucial to avoid further loss of biodiversity. Resource extraction by local communities can be a major obstacle in the management of protected forests. This paper develops a two sector dynamic model for agriculture and forest resource extract...

The substantial increase in oil prices over the past few years has been reflected in asphalt prices. Moreover, the maximization of fuel production in refineries has reduced asphalt supply. These conditions have prompted the development of alternative sources of asphalt binders, including bio-oils derived from the fractionated fast pyrolysis of biomass that comes from agricultural and forestry r...

An Agricultural Sector Model is used to determine the economic potential of agricultural greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies within hypothetical emission mitigation markets. For a complete set of agricultural land management decisions, emissions and emission reductions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are accounted for and simultaneously subjected to a wide range of carbon...

(exogenous, tradable) income as a result of structural changes such as technological progress, improvement in export prices, etc.. Thus, a multiplier of 2.0 suggests an addition of $1.00 on extra income for each $1.00 of new agricultural income , through a re-spending on non-tradable consumer items and intermediate inputs. PAST TRENDS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN SUB-SAH...

Biofuel policies (blend mandate or tax credit) have impacts on food and energy prices, and on land-use. The magnitude of these effects depends on the market response to price, and thus on the agricultural supply curve, which, in turn, depends on the land availability (quantity and agronomic quality) and relative prices. To understand these relationships, we develop a theoretical framework with ...

After the war with Iraq which ended in 1988, Iran implemented several agricultural support policies based on Five-Year National Development Plans. The main objective of these plans in the agriculture sector was to make the agricultural economy more market-oriented and to encourage sustainable agriculture. This paper investigates the extent to which Iran's government has been able to achieve thi...

Given the unlimited needs of mankind and the limited resources available, human beings have always been thinking about how to use the available resources and facilities optimally. Energy plays an important role in economic activities and it is of great importance in agriculture. Over the past four decades, energy consumption in the agricultural sector has increased tremendously. In Iran, energy...

In India, electric utilities are owned and operated by the government. This paper explores whether these utilities have functioned to maximize social welfare and whether electricity pricing, through the provision of agricultural subsidies, has been manipulated for political purposes. We first explore the benefits of electricity subsidies to the agricultural sector between 1995 and 2004. A simpl...
