A Stochastic Simulation of the North Dakota Ethanol Production Incentive
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
The objective of this research is to determine the effect the North Dakota Ethanol Production Incentive has on ethanol plant survivability. This thesis uses a stochastic simulation to show the financial performance of an ...
The Impacts of Expected Structural Changes in Demand for Agricultural Commodities in China and India on World Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes in import and export demand in China and India on the United States and global agriculture in 2018. A spatial equilibrium model is developed to optimize production and ...
Valuing and Pricing of Random and Non-Persistent Genetically Modified Traits (Corn and HRSW)
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
With many genetic traits discovered and many more in progress, it is imperative to the industry that firms (biotechnology companies) decide on the trait valuation and pricing. This includes more than one trait (also referred ...
The Effects of Ethanol Policy on Cattle Production
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
Corn-based ethanol production has increased dramatically in the past ten years, causing an increase in demand for corn by ethanol producers and an increase in production of ethanol by-products such as distillers' grains. ...
The Effect of Lender-Imposed Sweeps on an Ethanol Firm's Ability to Invest in New Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
New federal legislation proposes to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with biofuel production. To comply, existing corn ethanol plants will have to invest in new more carbon efficient production technology ...
