bae: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called bae.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Economics; Production; Farmers; Policy; Model; Agriculture; Data; Land; Development; Farm; Market; Use; European; Price; Level; Analysis; Bio; Income; Value; Products; Crop; Innovation; Farms; Change; Productivity; Risk; Choice; Time; Trade; Quality; Consumers; Information; Economy; Values; Years; Anania; Browser; April

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Heterogeneity of adaptation strategies to climate shocks: Evidence from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria by Onyenekwe, Chinasa Sylvia; Opata, Patience Ifeyinwa; Ume, Chukwuma Otum; Sarpong, Daniel Bruce; Egyir, Irene Susana (2023) - The impor- tance of mainstreaming climate change adaptation into farming activities for sustainable development is evident, and considerable research has investigated the determi- nants of adoption of climate change adaptation strategies among farmers in the global south, although reviews reveal mixed evidence thus far (Bezner Kerr et al., 2018; Fosu-Mensah et al., 2012; Ume et al., 2021; Zazu & Man- derson, 2020). However, our finding is consistent with the findings of Belay & Fekadu (2021), Diallo et al., (2021) and Al-Amin et al., (2019) who found that social capital negatively influences farm- 29Heterogeneity of adaptation strategies to climate shocks: Evidence from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria Bio-based and Applied Economics 12(1): 17-35, 2023 | e-ISSN 2280-6172 | DOI: 10.36253/bae-13436 ers’ adoption of climate change adaptation strategies such as fertilizer, short duration and drought tolerant varieties.

• Key policy objectives for European agricultural policies: Some reflections on policy coherence and governance issues by Coderoni, Silvia (2023) - Three major challenges arise in achieving between PC: the incurrence of high transaction costs to detect the synergies and trade-offs between policy objectives, the dependence of synergies and trade-offs on the differ- ent instruments chosen, and the need to arrive at value judgments on the different interests involved (OECD, 2021a). If interactions arise between policy objectives, the first distinction to make is among synergies and trade- offs among them.

• Horizontal Price Transmission in Agricultural Markets: Fundamental Concepts and Open Empirical Issues by Listorti, Giulia; Esposti, Roberto (2012) - Moreover, in the present review of the literature, we only consider studies where volatility (GARCH effects) is admitted within price transmission models (VECM) while we disregard those empirical works concentrating only on the analysis of the volatility in agricultural price series (Piot-Lepetit and M’Barek, 2011; Busse et al., 2011). As far as the second aspect is concerned, it is worth noticing that in multivariate stochastic pro- cesses, as in price transmission models, these GARCH effects can also arise across indi- vidual series, consequently allowing the time-varying variance of one series to affect that of another series.

• On perishability and Vertical Price Transmission: empirical evidences from Italy by Santeramo, Fabio Gaetano; von Cramon-Taubadel, Stephan (2016) - Studies on vertical price transmission (VPT) have preeminently addressed four topics (Vavra and Goodwin, 2005): the magni- tude of price shocks transmission along the supply chain, the speed of transmission, the nature of price transmission in term of symmetry and asymmetries, and the direction of transmission (i.e. whether a shock is transmitted upwards or downwards). Introduction The interest in price transmission, and the number of studies focused on these top- ics, have rapidly increased during last decades (e.g.Griffith and Piggott, 1994; Benson et al., 2008; Santeramo, 2010; Cioffi et al., 2011; Santeramo and Cioffi, 2012a; Santeramo and Cioffi, 2012b; Abdelradi and Serra, 2015; Kinnucan and Zhang, 2015; Santeramo, 2015; Garcia-German et al., 2016): the implications they have on agricultural markets, industrial strategies, producer and consumer welfare are strong.

• Export propensity and intensity in the wine industry: a fractional econometric approach by Macedo, Anthony; Rebelo, João; Gouveia, Sofia (2020) - McCallum 1995; Ander- son and van Wincoop 2003; Silva and Tenreyro 2006; Anderson and Yotov 2012; Cirera et al. 2016), the covariates that could influence the wine market share are: geographic distance be- tween countries i and j (distij); GDP per capita of importer j in year t (gdppcjt); wine produced in countries i and j in year t-1 (respectively, prodit-1 and prodjt-1); exporter i being an Old World country (oldi); the annual average exchange rate between the currencies of countries i and j in year t (erijt); importer j’s European Union (EU) membership status in year t (eujt); the existence in year t of regional trade agreements (RTA) between countries i and j (rtaijt); the same official lan- guage in countries i and j (langij); and countries i and j sharing common religion beliefs (religij).2 As regards the expected sign of the explanatory variables, distance should have a negative effect on the probability of wine trade and on market shares as this is a proxy for transport costs. Exporting countries from the Old World may also present some advantage in wine trade due to their experience.

• Italian farms during the COVID-19 pandemic: main problems and future perspectives. A direct analysis through the italian FADN by Cesaro, Luca; Giampaolo, Antonio; Giarè, Francesca; Sardone, Roberta; Scardera, Alfonso; Viganò, Laura (2022) - However, the need to investigate the problems faced by Italian agricultural farms and related solutions has been highlighted by many institutional and non-institu- tional actors, such as government authorities, profession- al organizations, and associations. After the first lockdown in March 2020, some buffer measures at EU and national level, through State Aids and a more extensive use of CAP resources, were acti- vated to mitigate the liquidity crisis faced by the Italian farms during the phase of more severe restrictions and afterwards (CREA, 2020d), also detected through the survey addressed to FADN farms of May 2020.

• Economics of culture and food in evolving agri-food systems and rural areas by Romano, Severino; Vanni, Francesco; Viaggi, Davide (2020) - The current trend is towards the quest for more systemic approaches to agriculture, food and bioeconomy, as embedded in concepts such as value chains and food systems, planet boundaries and ecosystems services, and driven by global and systemic problems, such as climate change, globalisation of markets and population growth. This highlights a very important aspect of culture as relat- ed with food and probably of the future of food systems, which is their growing embedding in social systems that are geographically organised in connection with ecosystems.

• Addressing needs for the diffusion of digital greenhouse farming. Insights from Living Labs in the Mediterranean basin. by Gava, Oriana; Sturiale, Sara; Gallardo, Marisa; Buendía Guerrero, Dolores; Buyuktas, Dursun; Ece Aslan, Gulcin; Laarif, Asma; Bouslama, Thameur; Navarro, Alejandra; Incrocci, Luca; Bartolini, Fabio (2025) - However, while technology-driven solutions can be 61 appealing, resources may be wasted if technologies are not developed responsibly by aligning with 62 the actual needs of actors1 directly involved in technology adoption and diffusion (Rose et al., 2021). It also requires adopting a 71 responsible research and innovation (RRI) approach through the engagement of a variety of actors 72 (e.g., farmers, researchers, policymakers) directly involved in the technology adoption and its 73 diffusion, prioritising their actual needs and considering the diversity of contextual features at the 74 territorial level (Eastwood et al., 2019; Rose et al., 2021).

• Inequality and Concentration in Farmland Production and Size: Regional Analysis for the European Union from 2010 to 2020 by Maranzano, Paolo; Boccaletti, Simone; Viegas, Miguel (2025) - Accordingly, we observed similarities in agricultural land concentration in some cross-border areas: the Portugal–Spain border, a large part of central Europe comprised of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and western Germany, a smaller part of central Europe including eastern Germany, western Poland, and the Czech Republic, and, lastly, Hungary and Slovakia. Extending the notion of spatial autocorrelation within a cluster- based framework, the authors ascertained that European regions can be categorized into three macro- regions (e.g., Germany, Benelux, and the northeastern French regions form a homogeneous cluster) with group-specific determinants of agricultural production concentration.

• Economics of Food Security: Selected Issues by Saravia-Matus, Silvia; Gomez y Paloma, Sergio; Mary, Sebastien (2012) - 67Economics of Food Security: Selected Issues However, the current policy debate on food security is strongly dominated by the issue of food availability and affordability, particularly in high-income societies (although some low-income countries have also taken protective measures such as banning of grain exports to maintain national stocks at times of food price pikes). The emphasis in the academic literature is thus placed on food access (or the capacity of households to fulfil their mini- mum dietary needs) as the main limiting factor of food security.

So in the pharmaceutical sector the level of acceptance for GM animal applications is higher, ranging from 83% in developing coun- tries to 70% in Japan (Devlin et al., 2009), because of the expected advantages and the different array of political actors (Vàzquez-Salat and Houdebine, 2013).

• Income Analysis in South American Domestic Camelid Farms by Ansaloni, Francesco; Pyszny, Francesco; Marquina, Rodolfo; Liendo, Alvaro Claros; Goitia, Alvaro Claros; Huanca, José Luis Quispe; Pineda, Japhet Zapana (2013) - Interest on overall farm capital is in proportion to return on stock capital (animals, equipment and machinery), advanced capital or loans necessary to cover at least a part of costs to purchase production equipment to begin farm production. The choice of this research method arises from the need to collect, elaborate and com- pare detailed data from various productive and cultural situations in a uniform manner; to the capacity of farm groups to reflect the various production systems in a specific terri- tory; to constraints due to limited resources for the survey.

• Explaining determinants of the on-farm diversification: empirical evidence from Tuscany region by Bartolini, Fabio; Andreoli, Maria; Brunori, Gianluca (2014) - On-farm diversification towards multifunctional activities is perceived as central in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform and in the Horizon 2020 strategies, because it strengthens territorial and social cohesion of rural areas. Our results confirm the hypothesis proposed by Lange et al. (2013) and Zasada (2011) about the demand- driven effects of diversification, due to closeness to potentially high demand for services provided by farm diversification.

• The italian microbrewing experience: features and perspectives by Fastigi, Matteo; Viganò, Elena; Esposti, Roberto (2018) - Introduction In Italy, craft beer production is a recent and original phenomenon which is not only growing at a fast pace and being appreciated by consumers, but is also outperforming many other sectors of the domestic food and beverage industry, right in the middle of an adverse economic scenario. While there is a wide literature referring to the wine sector (in which Italy has always stood out for its high-quality productions and widespread consumption), stud- ies covering the Italian brewing sector are mainly descriptive or focusing on specific aspects1, showing that more thorough analyses are needed in order to understand the astonishing development of craft beer productions and the adoption of new brewing business models.

• The hedonic contents of italian super premium extra-virgin olive oils by Cacchiarelli, Luca; Carbone, Anna; Laureti, Tiziana; Sorrentino, Alessandro (2019) - Quantile regression (Koenker, 2005) is used for estimating the functional relationship between olive oil price and quality attributes at different points in the condi- tional distribution of y. Moreover, quantile regression is more robust than OLS regression in response to large outliers which may be present in the olive-oil top market segment. Quantile regression has been used for analyzing the functional relation- ship between olive oil price and quality attributes at different points in the conditional dis- tribution of price.

• How did farmers act? Ex-post validation of linear and positive mathematical programming approaches for farm-level models implemented in an agent-based agricultural sector model by Mack, Gabriele; Ferjani, Ali; Möhring, Anke; von Ow, Albert; Mann, Stefan (2020) - The main advantages of PMP models over conventional LP models are that they guarantee exact calibration to the base year and avoid predicting overspecialisation without adding weakly justified constraints to the model formulation (Kanellopoulos et al., 2010). Further *Corresponding author: Gabriele.mack@agroscope.admin.ch 4 G. Mack et alii advantages of PMP models are that they do not require large datasets and can be viewed as a bridge between econometric models, with substantial data requirements, and more limited LP models (Heckelei and Britz, 2005; Howitt et al., 2012).

• Factors influencing land rental market participation: a case study in Northern Ireland by Adenuga, Adewale Henry; Jack, Claire (2025) - The farmers were classified into six strata based on farmland ownership and rental status: 120 those farming solely on owned land, those farming both on owned and rented land, those farming on 121 owned and rented land while also leasing out land, those farming only on owned but also leasing out 122 land, those farming exclusively on rented land and landowners who lease out all their land. While this may be linked to the fact that 472 sustainable agricultural practices often require long-term investment in land, an alternative 473 explanation is that more intensive farming systems, which tend to generate higher profits, 474 create a greater demand for rented land.

• What is going to change in EU rural development policies after 2013? Main implications in different national contexts by Mantino, Francesco (2013) - Future pol- icy scenarios might bring new and heavy constraints to rural development policies and consequently might also reduce the opportunities of institutional innovations. In both cases there is a demand strongly influenced by the past and present ways in which rural development policy has been supplied until now, consequently causing a strong path-dependency mechanism.

• Research and innovation in agriculture: beyond productivity? by Viaggi, Davide (2015) - Besides environmental con- cerns, however, a number of recent concepts have emerged that are shaping the cur- rent research and policy agenda and which could result in a revision of the productiv- ity concepts used to evaluate research impacts. We argue that while the traditional notion of productivity, intended as output/input ratio, maintains (and may be strengthens) its role on the aggregate, a more analytical interpretation of the pathways towards research impacts is needed, as well as a broad- ened view of productivity and its determinants.

• Bioeconomy and the Common Agricultural Policy: will a strategy in search of policies meet a policy in search of strategies? by Viaggi, Davide (2019) - 3.2 Bioeconomy sectors and markets The pragmatic identification of the Bioeconomy as an overarching concept encom- passing or including different sectors, as well as the envisaging of only a (mainly) stra- tegic approach from the point of view of Bioeconomy policy, somehow refocuses atten- tion, including for the Bioeconomy, on the functioning of markets and their dynamics. However, the EU’s Bioeconomy action and most country strategies rely more on strategies than Bioeconomy policies, leaving to specific sector policies the role to implement actions.

• The use of latent variable models in policy: A road fraught with peril? by Campbell, Danny; Sandorf, Erlend Dancke (2020) - This insight suggests that if the main interest is on describing the means of the posterior MWTP distributions at the sample level, model choice is perhaps only consequential when the MWTP distribution 7 For this, we subtract the actual individual-specific MWTP from the mean of the predicted individual-specific posterior MWTP and take the arithmetic mean for each data generation setting and model and, again, apply the LOESS method with a smoothing parameter of 0.4.

• The role of group-time treatment effect heterogeneity in long standing European agricultural policies. An application to the European geographical indication policy by Cei, Leonardo; Stefani, Gianluca; Defrancesco, Edi (2020) - This suggests that treatment effect heterogeneity is likely a concern when assessing the impact of GI-type policies. Technical literature warns about the possibility that this eventuality may occur in contexts characterized by a differed administration of the treatment and by the continuation of the treatment over multiple periods, and attrib- utes this fact to the possible occurrence of negative weights in the construction of the TWFE estimate (Abraham and Sun, 2018; Borusyak and Jaravel, 2017; de Chaisemar- tin and D’Haultfoeuille, 2019) when treatment effect heterogeneity is at stake.

• Human capital and rural development policy: evidence from European FADN regions by Maietta, Ornella Wanda ; De Devitiis, Biagia; Destefanis, Sergio; Suppa, Domenico (2020) - The evolution of human capital in EU agriculture and the CAP Table 1 reports the percentage of farmers with full agricultural training, our proxy for high human capital, as calculated from Farm Structure Survey (FSS) data, as well as the per- centage of the population aged 15 to 64 years with tertiary education, as calculated from Eurostat data. Switching to the results that include the facet analysis for strongly efficient units, we find that the marginal rate of substitution for family labour with a low level of human capital is basically constant, whereas the marginal rates for the other categories of family labour show a gently rising trend (on average, high human capital is slightly more priced that medium human capital).

• An input-output hydro-economic model to assess the economic pressure on water resources by Rocchi, Benedetto; Viccaro, Mauro; Sturla, Gino (2024) - For a better under- standing of the sectoral and total impacts, three innovations are incorporated with respect to previous literature: i) the development of a methodology for disaggregat- ing the extended water demand (blue water plus grey water) by economic sector, ii) the use of the IO side of the model to reclassify water demand by “extracting” and “demanding” sectors, and iii) the proposition of an improved indicator of pressure on water resources based on a “feasible” measure of water supply. The main innovations of our approach are: i) the development of a methodology for disaggregating the extended water demand (including grey water require- ments) by economic sector, ii) the use of the IO side of the model to reclassify water demand by “extracting” and “demanding” sectors, and iii) the proposition of an improved indicator of pressure on water resources based on a “feasible” measure of water supply.

• Agricultural and oil commodities: price transmission and market integration between US and Italy by Rosa, Franco; Vasciaveo, Michela; Weaver, Robert D. (2014) - With respect to evidence of comovement across oil prices and commodity prices for entire period and sub-periods we find evidence of weak comovement of oil and ag-commodity prices that is weakest dur- ing the sub-period 1999-2004 and stronger in the later sub-periods; correlation is smaller with each of the Italian ag commodities compared to US. The first observation inherent in this period is that US and Italian ag-commodity prices move together and US commodity prices are not in general cointegrated with Ital- ian ag-commodity prices.

• Entry deterring effects of contractual relations in the dairy processing sector by Zavelberg, Yvonne; Heckelei, Thomas; Wieck, Christine (2016) - The objective of this paper is to set up a game theoretic model to analyze imperfect competition on the raw milk market that may result from entry deterring effects of exclusive contracts between dairy producers and processors. Howev- er, in terms of number of processing facilities, only approximately 40% of the 137 active processing facilities in 2012 were cooperatives, the remaining ones are investor owned firms (AMI, 2014).2 The frequent use of contracts on the milk market may be explained by their ability to reduce price risks and to secure delivery quantities for dairy producers and input quanti- ties for processors.

• The contribution of different off-farm income sources and government payments to regional income inequality among farm households in Italy by Severini, Simone; Tantari, Antonella (2014) - Introduction Raising farm income and changing its distribution are still among the main goals of government intervention in the farm sector, even if new perspectives regarding the “farm problem” have been developed (Gardner, 1992). Furthermore, due to the ever increasing contribution of off-farm incomes (OFI), it seems more appropriate to move the attention from farm income (FI) to farm household income (FHI).

• A systematic approach to understanding and quantifying the EU’s bioeconomy by Ronzon, Tévécia; Piotrowski, Stephan; M’Barek, Robert; Carus, Michael (2017) - Bioeconomy sectors have developed differently according to Member State biomass endowment or Member States access to biomass (e.g. commercial harbours), and also according to prior sectorial development (e.g. maturity of bio-based manufactur- ing sectors). Those sectors, together with the manufacture of food, beverages and tobacco, are also those displaying the largest labour productivity gap (in terms of turnover per person employed) with groups A and B. Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden and Finland have reached very high levels of bioeconomy turnover per person compared with other group C Member States.

• Is the one of the “active farmer” a false problem? by Pupo D'Andrea, Maria Rosaria; Romeo Lironcurti, Simona (2018) - However, the high administrative costs in respect to the benefit of excluding a very limited number of non-active farmers were recognized by the Commission which, for this reason, has pro- posed, as part of the Omnibus Regulation (COM(2016)605), to give Member States the pos- sibility to make optional the application of the rules on “active farmer”, starting from 2018. The analysis carried out highlights the heterogeneity in the national implementation of the rules on “active farmer” and the importance of the national leg- islation of some Member States in limiting the access to direct payments, regardless of EU rules.

• Innovation, productivity and growth: towards sustainable agri-food production by Scoppola, Margherita (2016) - The Conference included about 50 papers addressing a range of research and policy issues such as: long-term patterns of worldwide food production and consumption; measur- ing and explaining agricultural productivity growth and gaps; the impact of agricultural productivity growth and innovation on income growth and poverty; sustainable knowl- edge intensification and innovation in agricultural production; design, implementation and evaluation of policies fostering sustainable agricultural innovation; the assessment of social, economic and environmental impacts of new bio-economic production and pro- cesses. The aim of the fourth Conference of the Italian Association of Agricultural and Applied Economics (AIEAA), held in Ancona, June 11-12, 2015, was to provide a sci- entific contribution to these issues by expanding the knowledge base on the fundamen- tals of agricultural productivity growth and innovation, and also by promoting a critical debate on the underlying theoretical and methodological issues and policy implications.

• Geographical indications, food safety, and sustainability: conflicts and synergies by Wirth, David (2016) - The paper consequently examines the potential for conflict or reinforcement amongst GIs, food safety standards, and other claims of quality or safety. An SPS measure that is based on international standards, where they exist – in the case of food safety standards, as identified in the Codex Alimentarius – is entitled to a presumption of validity.

• Consumers’ Awareness and Attitudinal Determinants of European Union Quality Label Use on Traditional Foods by Verbeke, Wim; Pieniak, Zuzanna; Guerrero, Luis; Hersleth, Margrethe (2012) - The assumption is that quality labels fail to have an impact on behaviour and food choice unless they are used by consumers (Verbeke, 2005; Grunert and Wills, 2007), which makes it relevant to gain more insight in determinants of quality label use. Dif- ferences in the role of determinants are small between the three labelling schemes and between countries with versus without a strong tradition of quality labels in their agri- cultural and food quality policies.

• Can menu labeling affect away-from-home-dietary choices? by Castellari, Elena; Marette, Stéphan; Moro, Daniele; Sckokai, Paolo (2019) - In a systematic review, Mazzocchi and Trail (2005) evaluated the effect of food label in portion size consumption and they found varying impacts, from increasing, to decreas- ing or no effect. Bonanno et al. (2018), using a quantile regression approach, have shown that the rela- tionship between reading food labels and BMI highly differs among demographics groups.

• The changing role of regulation in the bio-based economy: an introduction by Sckokai, Paolo (2017) - There is no doubt that, in these areas, the role of EU policies has increased dramatically and questions have been raised on the effec- tiveness, efficiency and equity of such regulations. In recent years, firms working in agri- cultural and food production, bioenergy and biotechnology have often protested against the supposed “invasive” role of EU regulations in their activities. Keywords: economy; food; regulation

• An addendum to: a meta-analysis of hypothethical bias in stated preference valuation by Stefani, Gianluca; Scarpa, Riccardo; Lombardi, Ginevra V. (2014) - However, there are important differences in the distribu- tion of the IRSF depending on which type of WTP distribution is considered: marginal WTP distribution, WTP model error distribution and WTP estimate distribution consid- ered as non linear function of model parameters distribution. Studies based on experimental auctions and open-ended elicitation formats generally provide data on standard deviations of WTP values distributions.
