2008 AAEA & ACCI Joint Annual Meeting • Orlando, Florida • July 27-29

Expanding Horizons

I want to welcome you to the 2008 Joint Annual Meeting. We are holding it jointly with the American Council on Consumer Interests. You will find an expansion of session topics and attend-ees as a result of this collaboration. We are also pleased to have outstanding speakers for our featured presenta-tions. Our keynote speaker’s energy impacts topic has been made even more timely by recent events. The new format, starting earlier on Sunday and going through Tuesday night, should

encourage more intense and continued participation throughout the meetings. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this is the result.

There will be more than enough to stretch your interests between con-current sessions, posters, the President’s, Fellows’, and Galbraith lec-tures, student competitions, and the special sessions sponsored by ACCI. You will find the program intense and you will be forced to make many opportunity cost trade-offs. If ever there were an opportunity to expand your horizons, this is it. We have also allowed plenty of time to visit with friends and colleagues. I know this is one of the most important reasons for attending the meetings.

Almost everything is under one roof in our conference complex. This should make the logistics of the conference easy for you. Our great AAEA staff from Milwaukee that planned the meeting is here to assist you. Do not hesitate to visit with them if you need assistance or just to get to know them.

These meetings reflect some of the changes that have been taking place in AAEA over the last several years—from our change in administrative arrangements, to the new outreach program, and to the new name and logo that will be rolled out at the business meeting.

Attend the sessions, visit with your friends and colleagues, make per-sonal connections, and be stimulated by new and interesting ideas which you can capitalize on when you return home.

Otto DoeringAAEA President

Welcome to the 2008 AAEA & ACCI Joint Annual Meeting. The conference theme, Expanding Horizons, points to two key ideas that shape this year’s meeting. First, it underscores the multidisciplinary roots and increas-ing diversity of our community of researchers, educators, and practitio-ners who are dedicated to enhancing consumer well-being. The plenary sessions, papers, showcases, and workshops embrace many disciplin-ary perspectives on key consumer decisions. Second, although ACCI has

co-sponsored a session at the AAEA Annual Meeting for several years, this joint meeting offers new opportunities for our members including a joint keynote speaker, more co-sponsored sessions, an expanded venue for poster presentations, and pre and post-conference workshops.

My sincere thanks to conference co-chairs Jeanne Hogarth and Jane Kolodinsky who have shaped an excellent conference program that dem-onstrates the relevance of consumer research, education, and outreach in today’s policy arenas, the workplace, and in households across the globe.

This page outlines general information regarding the organization and content of the Concurrent Sessions and the Poster Sessions. If you have any further questions, AAEA Staff members are available on-site to help.

Organization of Sessions

All sessions are first organized by date and time. Within each time block, sessions are sorted by their affiliation with each association (AAEA or ACCI). For AAEA sessions, Principal Papers are listed first, followed by the Track sessions. After the Tracks, the Organized Symposia and Selected Papers are listed together, and sorted by Subject Code. Subject Code headings are noted after the paper’s title in the description.

Subject Codes

Upon submission, each session is classified within one of 27 subject codes. The subject codes are intended to represent all the different areas of focus covered by sessions at the Joint Annual Meeting. They also allow all of the sessions to be sorted by topic. For a listing of sessions by subject code, please see the Topical Index on page ##

AAEA Session Types

AAEA Principal Papers

Principal Papers are the most selective submission type at the AAEA An-nual Meetings, as a maximum of seven are accepted each year. The pro-posals for Principal Paper sessions are approved by the AAEA Executive Board and are the foundation around which the rest of the Joint Annual Meeting is based. Principal Paper sessions have between two and four formal presentations and up to two discussants. Papers and discussions in Principal Paper sessions are published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics.

AAEA Track Sessions

Track Sessions are groups of sessions (ranging between three and six sessions) that appeal to a common audience. Tracks are proposed and sponsored by official AAEA Sections. Each Section is allotted a certain number of sessions at the Joint Annual Meeting based on the size of that Section’s membership. The sessions within a Track are designed for the members of the sponsoring AAEA Section, however anyone may attend any Track session. Certain Track sessions may be sponsored by more than one Section, or by ACCI, if the content appeals to both groups.

AAEA Organized Symposia

Organized Symposia are sessions that focus on a particular topic of interest. These sessions are usually discussion based, often having panelists or discussants. Symposia may also contain presentations that are meant to highlight works in progress or new data, as opposed to the completed form of a Selected Paper. These sessions are organized completely by individuals, and then reviewed by the AAEA President.

AAEA Selected Presentations

Selected Presentations are completed academic papers that are submit-ted for peer review individually. After being accepted, each presentation is designated as a Selected Paper or Poster. Presentations become Select-ed Papers based on their ability to form a coherent, attractive session. No quality distinction is made between Selected Papers and Posters.

AAEA Selected PapersAccepted Selected Papers are grouped with three other papers, in order to form an attractive session. Each paper presenter is given about 20 minutes to present the findings in their paper and answer any questions from the audience. One moderator is assigned to each Selected Paper session to help keep the presentations on time and facilitate any discus-sion about the research presented.

AAEA Selected PostersPosters are a visual display of research conducted. Posters are on display throughout the meeting in the Exhibit Hall, and can be viewed whenever the hall is open. Poster presenters will be available during one of two designated time slots for Poster presentation, either on Monday or Tuesday, from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm. The board number of the poster indicates which session it will be a part of, with an “M” designating participation in the Monday session and a “T” designating the Tuesday session. AAEA Posters are judged while on display and the top three Posters win a cash prize.

ACCI Session Types

ACCI Special Sessions

ACCI Special Sessions provide an opportunity to focus on specific top-ics of interest and importance to consumer researchers, to showcase creative programs or successful teaching methodologies, or to provide a roundtable discussion of “ideas that work” with your colleagues.

ACCI Competitive Presentations

Competitive Presentations are completed academic papers that are sub-mitted for peer review individually. After being accepted, each presenta-tion is designated as a Selected Paper or Poster.

ACCI Selected PapersAccepted Selected Papers are grouped with other papers on a similar topic, in order to form an attractive session. One presider is assigned to each Selected Paper session to help keep the presentations on time and facilitate any discussion about the research presented.

ACCI Selected PostersPosters are a visual display of research conducted. Posters are on display throughout the meeting in the Exhibit Hall, and can be viewed whenever the hall is open. Poster presenters will be available during one of two designated time slots for Poster presentation, either on Monday or Tuesday, from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm. The board number of the poster indicates which session it will be a part of, with an “M” designating participation in the Monday session and a “T” designating the Tuesday session. AAEA Posters are judged while on display and the top three Posters win a cash prize.

AAEA Principal Paper

This session addresses one of America’s most hotly debated topics—international immigration. In a short order of time, the share of foreign-born residing in the U.S. has gone from nearly an all-time low in 1970 to nearly the historic all-time record high that was previously reached in the late 1800s. One key pattern is that the impacts of immigration greatly vary across the landscape. The three papers assess this issue by 1) appraising the broad impacts of immigration on the overall economic health of America’s rural communities; 2) asking where immigrants choose to live; and 3) examining how rural communities and agribusiness are adapting to a rapidly growing Hispanic population.

There is a rapidly growing set of empirical studies on the effect of globalization and public and private standards on growth and equity in developing countries. This includes studies on the impact of modern retail companies and global supply chains on poor farmers. However, the theoretical basis and the conceptual frameworks used for these studies is often weak. This session attempts to address this weakness. The session brings together three papers which attempt to provide a theory and conceptual analyses of these effects.

AERE Session

The economics of land use presents numerous conceptual and empirical challenges. This session brings together two conceptual and two empirical papers that explore important linkages between land use and amenity values. In conceptual studies, features of the landscape drive land use and landowner decisions, and these decisions in turn feed back on landscape features. The empirical papers use property value data to isolate the value of environmental attributes, including a meta-analysis of hedonic studies that value marginal changes and a sorting model that values non-marginal changes.

Antimicrobial resistance may be an important contributor to the risks from food-borne and other illnesses. The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance—including in food-borne pathogens—has raised concern about the long term effectiveness of antibiotics to treat human illness. Serotypes of E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter are important food-borne pathogens that may be reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance, and which cause thousands of illnesses each year. Presentations from this track session include a quantitative description of the evidence of antimicrobial resistance, a risk analysis method to estimate the additional costs of illnesses caused by resistance in important food-borne pathogens, a description of an economic

framework for managing resistance by addressing the externality associated with the use of antibiotics, and survey findings of consumers’ rankings of the risks from antibiotic use in food animal production.

The impacts of conservation programs on the welfare of local populations in tropical forest zones are hotly contested but rarely quantified. In this session, we use tools from program evaluation to obtain rigorous estimates of the causal impacts of three different conservation initiatives in Brazil and Costa Rica. These tools—including matching and difference in difference outcomes—allow us to construct the counterfactual: what would have been the outcome if a household had not participated in or been affected by the initiative? Across the three applications, we find positive or no impact of conservation on the well-being of local populations.

An expansion of ethanol production and ethanol by-products has significant effects on food, feeds, and livestock in the United States and global agricultural markets. Understanding of these linkages and interactions is paramount for economists, particularly government economists who potentially will contribute to an economic analysis of renewable energy policy impacts. This symposium is designed to seek input, feedback, and exchange on this important subject. This session will discuss four studies currently in progress and will present material that has not been presented elsewhere to shed some light on the impacts of biofuels on food, feeds, and land and water use. Each of the four presenters will have about 10 minutes to introduce their topic and main issues and there will be about 40 minutes of general discussion.

Imports increase the availability and diversity of product offerings but also introduce risks associated with security, narcotics, and pests (“Thugs, Drugs, and Bugs”) along with the endangerment of biological resources and copyright violation. Yet, the complicated resource allocation problem of inspection targeting across multiple sources of risk is sparsely addressed in the economics literature. Our panelists discuss their research on the distribution of agricultural and food inspections across different commodity and origin pathways, optimal risk profiling with learning, port shopping by importers, and alternatives regulatory mechanisms to inspection. Discussion of the future direction of inspections will be based on the 2007 Report of the Interagency Working Group on Import Safety.

resource & Environmental Policy Analysis


Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 establishing a government mandate for renewable fuels. Since then, ethanol production has increased dramatically augmented by incentives provided through federal commodity price support, tax, and trade policies. Ethanol subsidies have been enthusiastically supported by consumers, farmer groups, environmentalists, and politicians as a way to reduce fuel prices, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions relative to gasoline, support farm income, and reduce dependence on foreign oil. This symposium provides a forum for agricultural economic professionals and students to have dialogue and debate on economic and welfare effects of ethanol subsidies. Three agricultural economic scholars (Lihong Lu McPhail, Wallace Tyner, and Christine Lasco) will present their respective research studies: 1) ethanol, mandates, drought and welfare effects, () impact of ethanol policies on agricultural markets, and 3) biofuels trade policy with environmental externalities. The result of this symposium will inform and stimulate interest and encourage further research to strengthen knowledge about the impact of the U.S. ethanol policy.

With the shift from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans, annuities are likely to be a more significant part of investment portfolios in retirement as individuals seek to assure that they will not outlive their assets. The complexity of the products and the factors that must be considered in determining their appropriate use can pose problems for consumers. Experience with unsuitable sales of annuities indicates the need for greater attention to this issue by both companies and regulators as the market grows. AARP’s Public Policy Institute (PPI) has commissioned a paper to review remedies to address consumer problems in the annuities market. Moderated by Alison Shelton, Strategic Policy Advisor on the AARP PPI Consumer and State Affairs Team, the session will be a panel that includes a presentation of the paper’s finding and reactions by consumer groups, industry, and regulators.

In this session we propose to discuss issues pertaining to food scare events and their consequences on agricultural markets. Specifically, we will discuss policies for preparedness and response to agricultural and biological terrorism using the tools of financial risk analysis and game theory in the context of dairy industry. We will also examine the effects of food safety scares on resiliency of demand for spinach and other leafy greens. Lastly, we will examine the relationship between frequency and severity of food safety scares and the size and persistence of impacts on market prices and volatility measured using different maturity contracts for commodity futures and options.

Few economic research studies have focused on the role time use may play in maintaining a healthy weight. These four papers examine the economic factors that either directly or indirectly alter time use and explore the link between time use and the risk of obesity. Three of the papers will focus on the adult risk of obesity while the fourth will focus on child obesity. In two of the papers, time use will be a direct input into the production of energy balance while the other two papers

will examine how features of the local food environments that have implications for time use, in turn, alter the risk of obesity.

Optimal climate change policy requires understanding society’s preferences and the characteristics of the policy environment. Two papers in this session explore the pure rate of time preference and the resulting implications for climate policy; one paper uses numerical methods to examine the implications of non-constant discounting while another considers issues associated with intergenerational equity and impatience. The two remaining papers examine alternative policy options for reducing carbon emissions, a revenue-neutral tax-subsidy policy, and a cap-and-trade policy in an alternating-current model of the power supply system.

Immigration of unskilled labor into the United States has helped to fill one void in the agricultural labor market, but it has failed to meet the growing needs of global agribusiness organizations for future leaders. A relevant question today might be, “Are land grant universities producing the type of graduates that agribusiness firms need?” This symposium will utilize an interdisciplinary approach to examine existing and future human resource needs in agribusiness within a global market. Participants will discuss this question from the global, academic (both teaching and curriculum development), agribusiness needs, and leadership development perspectives.

With the recent U.S. energy bill mandating a sevenfold increase in biofuels, a discussion of the global market effects is warranted. The first paper investigates the possible reduction of fuel-price volatility (fuel security) from shifting to a diversified portfolio containing petroleum and bio-based vehicle fuels. As addressed in the second paper, such a shift entails possible inflated food prices and volatility, yielding decreased global food security. This fuel/food security tradeoff maybe mitigated by the second generation bioenergy technology. The third paper then addresses the possible global trade impacts of this second generation technology.

Nationally representative data on what people eat—and corresponding health outcomes—contain no explicit information on either the food prices people face or the prices they pay. Hence, basic questions—like, do healthy diets cost more than unhealthy diets—are still up for debate. To address such questions, the studies presented in this session explore different methods and data sets for generating prices to append to dietary intake data. While the research questions differ among these studies, commonalities relating to the reliability of data, methods of imputing prices, and validity of estimates should spark discussion.

This session features on-the-ground analysis by agricultural economists working in Afghanistan. It includes presentations on: 1) implications of policy for rehabilitating Afghan agriculture; 2) saffron production as a potential crop that fits the low labor cost, high transport cost Afghan context; 3) potential for higher value crop and/or livestock enterprises; and 4) the challenges in rebuilding the Afghan agricultural higher education system. Given the problems of instability/government legitimacy in Afghanistan, the evidence suggests strategies to stimulate private sector growth should be balanced by interventions to strengthen subsistence agriculture, food security, rural livelihoods, and government institutions.

The four papers in this session consider emerging methodological challenges in stated preference valuation studies. Three papers use data from field surveys to examine respondent choice difficulty, propose a method of estimating discount factors within a random utility model, and explore the empirical relevance of asymptotically bounded preferences for the willingness to pay-willingness to accept disparity. A final paper applies experimental methods to examine payment and provision uncertainty as potential explanations for hypothetical bias.

The canonical bioeconomic model of the fishery lumps together a myriad of bio-physical and economic processes into a single state equation. The traditional approach provides potent conceptual insights

but has limited practical use in real-world fisheries management. This session presents generalizations to the canonical fishery model that are motivated by contemporary research in marine ecology and biological oceanography as well as an emerging emphasis on marine ecosystem-based management. To that end, the papers address spatial considerations, age structure in population dynamics, interactions of multiple species, and the effects of climate variability on fishery productivity.

Australia and the United States are important trading partners and home to many invasive plants and animals. Some invasive species have damaged the environment, threatened the existence of native plants and animals, or created significant problems in agriculture. Management of invasive species is a critical and perplexing problem, with responses ranging from total eradication and trade bans to more targeted programs at the regional, national, and international levels. Economic analysis is important to clarify and recommend policy responses to invasive species problems.

This symposium will address current and emerging issues related to agriculture and food marketing in India. It will provide a forum to discuss various issues including existing policy parameters from the perspective of academia, the private sector, and government. Audience discussion on changes needed to accelerate the process of market transformation in India’s agri-food marketing system, which is changing, will be encouraged. Traditional Indian agriculture produce chain is characterized by strict regulations, ad hoc sales, and large number of intermediaries leading to inefficiencies and low margins for farmers. In recent years there have been efforts to replace ad hoc sales by coordinated links between farmers and others in the chain and entry of corporate sector into food retailing. India’s fragmented agricultural marketing and processing system and supporting institutions however remain unprepared to compete in the global economy.

An overview of three different institutional approaches to the analysis of environmental problems will be presented. Some fairly neo-classical studies incorporate transaction costs of policies in addition to abatement costs. Others adapt the transaction cost economics framework developed by Williamson for the examination of environmental issues. Traditional institutional analysis examines fundamental sources of conflict in society over resources and environmental quality. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. We suggest that specific approaches are most suited to different issues, levels of analysis, or stages of the problem, rather than one approach being superior.

Mexico reformed its agricultural and rural policies in the late 1980s and 1990s when budgetary discipline was imposed by broader macroeconomic conditions and the failures of existing agricultural and rural policies became self-evident. Now, the final stages of NAFTA are implemented, a new administration is in place, and a very different set of circumstances as regards macroeconomic conditions and international markets prevails. What is next for agricultural and rural policies in Mexico? Will liberalization continue? Will there be a withdrawal from market orientation?

Accentuated by changing demographics and geographical population densities, the migration to developed nations and the emigration of talent from developing countries poses questions as to the true value of existing immigration policies. The United States, France, Great Britain, and Australia, to name a few, have all seen immigration and immigration reform pushed to the forefront of the political agenda, all while relying on foreign labor to maintain existing levels of GDP. While much of the attention to migration patterns focuses on industries like textiles, light manufacturing, construction, and services (hotels, restaurants, etc.), agriculture is especially vulnerable to the impacts of immigration restrictions, both domestically and abroad. Elimination or a severe reduction in the availability of migrant labor would dramatically impact agriculture in the United States, especially the fruit and vegetable industries, which rely on large amounts of hand labor. However, migration also negatively impacts countries, such as Mexico, that have seen their workforce abandon their own country for more profitable opportunities in the U.S. This symposium will utilize an interdisciplinary approach to examine the complex issues surrounding global migration, including: 1) migration and globalization, 2) the effects of illegal immigration, 3) changes in global population dynamics driving migration, 4) integration of immigrants into society, and 5) immigration policies. A special emphasis will be placed on the impact of immigration on U.S. agriculture.

The building blocks of the agricultural economic data systems are the units of observations. Two of the most basic units of observations are farms and rural spaces. How we define these terms identifies the populations for which we report descriptive statistics and on which we conduct complex analyses. Consequently, these definitions play a large role in how we characterize the agricultural sector and rural places, and how the public perceives them. In particular, the definitions play a pivotal role in our ability to capture transformations occurring in agriculture and rural areas in a timely manner.

natural resource Modeling & Valuation


Water allocation and reliability are increasingly pressing issues for policymakers around the world. Water problems are complex and influenced by a variety of factors, including economics, politics, infrastructure, and hydrology. Uncertainty regarding supply confounds the task of predicting future outcomes. This session highlights the power of numerical analysis in addressing such problems. Numerical methods allow researchers to develop far more realistic representations of real world systems than is possible with analytical modeling alone. The session presents one application regarding supply reliability in California and another regarding political groundwater allocation in Spain.

ACCI/AEM Section Track Session

Resources are exchanged between the business and the family. As shocks occur in the family and business systems, the systems are forced to work together to adapt, thereby causing a reallocation of resources. Several empirical studies have focused on the reciprocal nature of the family business system as it exchanges human resources and financial resources between systems. This is especially important for farm businesses of which the majority can be defined as family businesses. The symposium will discuss the success factors of family businesses as they experience shocks to the family and business systems.

Trends and issues with global demand for commodity protein products (e.g., pork, beef, poultry, dairy) have been well researched. Also, the income-demand relationship for these low to intermediate-level protein sources is well understood. However, as income levels continue to climb the demand for higher-value protein sources is on the rise. Presentations in this session focus on emerging high-value protein source issues and trends.

The 2003 Biofuels Directive, including a 10% binding minimum target for the share of biofuels in overall EU transport petrol and diesel consumption by 2020, prompted EU member states to introduce differing policies to meet their national targets for biofuel consumption. Clearly this policy will be a major driver on EU and world markets in the years ahead. In this session, a variety of modeling analyses will be presented to explore the many dimensions of policy impacts and enhance future modeling efforts, while also informing a broader audience on forces driving the evolution of the biofuel sector within the EU.

AERE Session

Concerns about climate change and energy security have sparked considerable interest in developing renewable energy sources. This session explores the economic and environmental consequences of policies that affect the renewable energy sector. The papers reveal that generating environmental benefits from renewable energy is not as simple as it may seem. The authors illustrate this point by incorporating price feedbacks into a traditional life cycle model, showing how conservation-driven limits to oil drilling impacts the market for biofuels, and measuring how growth in biofuels will affect regional water quality.

Participants will compare and contrast the predictions of financial options reasoning with that of organization theory in exploring the value of members’ equity in cooperatives. Panel discussions will address theory and empirical issues, including: 1) options on permanent equity; 2) options on allocated equity/revolving fund, controlled by the board; and 3) options on exit/restructuring, a put option held by management and exercised on behalf of members. The value of these options depends on time horizon, volatility of the existing or prospective businesses, and size of the cooperative. Discussions will touch on incentives for action (or inaction) and will lead to further applied research on decision rules that managers, boards, and members will be able to use in strategic decision-making.

Across the United States, skyrocketing energy costs have elevated energy conservation to a high priority for many agricultural producers. Reducing and substituting cheaper inputs without sacrificing production is key. Maintaining or growing production is critical as high energy prices and scarce fuel resources increase the demand for biofuels and feedstocks to provide U.S. energy security. Currently, federally funded programs exist that assist agricultural producers in becoming more energy efficient. As there is greater emphasis on energy issues, understanding energy conservation will be critical to developing energy policies that best serve U.S. agricultural industry and society at large.
