“…In this model we define “adopters” as the firms that use daily social‐media marketing and “nonadopters” as the firms using new‐media marketing less than once a day. Binary models have been widely used in the adoption literature including the adoption of agricultural technologies (Ali et al, ; McBride & El‐Osta, ; Nyaupane, Gillespie, & Paudel, ; Paudel, Gauthier, Westra, & Hall, ) and information technologies by farmers (Amponsah, ; Banerjee et al, ; Hoag, Ascough, & Frasier, ). The formal expression of the logistic model follows Greene ().…”

The use of new‐media marketing in the green industry: Analysis of social media use and impact on sales

et al. 2018

During the recession, the decline in home value and home ownership reduced the demand for ornamental plants, lawn and garden products, and related services, which resulted in significantly negative effect on the green industry revenues.Postrecession consolidation in the United States green industry has forced smaller firms to re-evaluate their marketing strategies. New-media marketing has gained attention as a relatively low-cost and high-exposure marketing strategy. This paper utilizes binary logit and interval censored regression to examine the use and the impact of social-media marketing in the green industry. The analysis was based on primary data from a survey of US nurseries and garden centers. The findings reveal that the daily use of social-media marketing is largely driven by the network effect and the managers' attitudes. They also indicate that the small-sized firms receive higher returns from social media use in terms of increased sales compared with larger firms.

Protecting the Breadbasket with Trees? The Effect of the Great Plains Shelterbelt Project on Agriculture

Wind erosion is detrimental to agriculture. Planting shelterbelt trees is a common strategy to protect vulnerable areas. I estimate the impact of shelterbelts on agriculture while instrumenting the endogeneity of planted location with a designated zone under the Great Plains Shelterbelt Project-a massive tree-planting operation implemented in [1935][1936][1937][1938][1939][1940][1941][1942]. I find a shift from cropland to pasture associated with higher shelterbelt coverage due to differential productivity changes in livestock and crop production. The revenue increase from livestock was contributed by cattle, while the decline in crop production mainly occurred in western counties owing to obstacles to adopting new irrigation technology. (JEL Q56, Q15) 1 "3-North" refers to the Northeast, Northwest, and North China regions in mainland China. See the data from the World Bank: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP. PCAP.KD?locations=CN. In 2019, China's per capita GDP was about 75% of the world's average.2 Based on the current NRCS (2011) guidelines, it takes 20 years for shelterbelts to achieve their designed height, but Helmers and Brandle (2005) assume the maturity of windbreak trees to be reached after 40 years.

“…Some landowners will incur a greater portion of the control burden while others on the periphery of the problem will bear little cost. Financial incentives through transfer payments may successfully motivate those most affected by the invasive species to adopt control measures at the socially optimal level instead of satisfying only their own personal interests (Napier and Camboni 1993; Knowler and Bradshaw 2007; Nyaupane, Gillespie, and Paudel 2012). To induce landowners to engage in control efforts at a socially optimal level, Liu and Sims (2016) proposed a corrective mechanism wherein invaded landowners are compensated for their control efforts by neighboring landowners.…”

The Problem of Feral Hogs and the Challenges of Providing a Weak‐Link Public Good

Feral hogs are an invasive species in the United States annually inflicting $1.5 billion in damages. Although interest in mitigating this grows, control spans properties and jurisdictions, creating challenges. Because landowners and local governments cannot capture the benefits of control that accrue beyond their boundaries, they generally underinvest. Worse, the weakest contributors constrain efforts. To offer insights into this problem, we synthesized studies on best management practices, invasive species, and weak‐link public goods. We also provide estimates of farmers' willingness‐to‐pay for control efforts, finding that they require financial assistance. Together, this suggests that more investment is necessary to manage feral hogs.
