Economics of Agriculture: Reports and Publications Issued or Sponsored by USDA's Economic Research Service, October 1967-June 1969
Full text linkExcerpts from the Preface: Supplement No 1 to ERS-368 lists research publications produced or sponsored by the Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in the field of agricultural economics and related socioeconomic studies during the period October 1967 through June 1969. It updates ERS-368 and includes citations for the five ERS domestic research divisions and both ERS foreign research divisions. Prior related listings are ERS-343 and ERS-430 (formerly ERS-350 and ERS-Foreign 167). Additional Marketing Economics Division publications are listed in ERS-205. The listing is intended to include citations for all published material of more than temporary interest regardless of the form in which published or the current availability. Publications cited consist principally of those issued as parts of Department and ERS series, periodic reports, articles in periodicals of the Department, and State experiment station bulletins which report results of State-Federal cooperative studies in agricultural economics. Articles in technical and professional journals, both within and outside the Department, are cited as well as proceedings of symposia and conferences which report important ERS research results. Publications are grouped by subject-matter areas and by ERS divisions responsible for research in such areas. Within each subject area, bibliographic entries are arranged alphabetically by author; entries without author are arranged alphabetically by title after the author listings. Articles by the same author are entered chronologically by date of publication
Publishing@ERS: Procedures for Review, Clearance, and Release at USDA’s Economic Research Service
Full text linkPublication in Economic Research Service reports, in scientific and academic journals, and in other data and information products is central to the ERS mission.

An Illustrated Guide to Research Findings from USDA's Economic Research Service
Full text linkThis book contains a sampling of recent ERS research illustrating the breadth of the Agency’s research on current policy issues: from biofuels to food consumption to land conservation to patterns of trade for agricultural products. What you won’t find in this collection is any mention of economists’ favorite analytic tools (regression analyses, for example, and coefficients of variation). We wanted this guide to highlight results, not process. Even so, the findings on display here are all based on rigorous and robust application of such tools as well as use of the latest econometric techniques.Farm Policy, Risk Management, Food Consumption, Food Nutrition Assistance, Conservation Policy, Food Assistance and Nutrition Programs, Food Security, Agricultural Productivity in the U.S., Farm Structure, Rural Population, Environmental Interactions, Invasive Species Management, Bioenergy, Global Food Markets, NAFTA, Organic Agriculture, Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries, Farm Management, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, Food Security and Poverty,

This Is ERS... Marketing Economics, Foreign Regional Analysis, Farm Production Economics, Foreign Development and Trade, Economic Development, Economic and Statistical Analysis, Natural Resource Economics
Full text linkThe ifs in American agriculture are many; this nation and many others are deeply concerned that the right decisions are made at the right times to supply a continuing abundance of food and fiber. What would be the effect on farm income, on food supplies and costs, on costs of government programs, on foreign aid if farmers used more land and more fertilizer, if food marketers automated more, if other countries produced more? Providing reasoned answers to such questions, based on economic analysis of the many factors involved, is the responsibility of USDA's Economic Research Service. With this issue, the Farm Index presents a series of articles on the seven divisions that make up the Economic Research Service, their goals, their work, their research findings and the contribution they make toward answering the perennial ifs in agriculture
Perspectives for ERS; The First Year • Appraisal • Outlook (Washington-Field Staff Conference, Airlie House, near Warrenton, Va., June 10-13, 1962)
Full text linkExcerpts from the Foreword: These are the proceedings of the first national conference of the Economic Research Service. They have been carefully reviewed and edited. It has not been practical nor feasible to include everything that was said. Our purpose in making them available within the Service is not only to refresh the recollections of those of us who were present at Airlie in June 1962, it is also to provide the members of the Service who were not present a sense of the content and direction of the discussions and of the excellence and range of the several presentations. Perhaps most important to the critical reader, however, is the impression that comes through of a more unified research enterprise which has begun anew in the Economic Research Service

Technological changes in the transportation sector : effects on U.S. food and agricultural trade : a proceedings
Full text linkThe purpose of the workshop was to raise awareness within the Economic Research Service (ERS) about the role and importance of transportation in U.S. food and agricultural trade and to discuss the need of an agency research agenda in this area. Subjects discussed were: the role of transportation in the global food system and the importance of integrating geography and transportation in analysis of international trade; transportation technology, past and future; the changing policy environment for ocean shipping; and logistical and technological developments aiding exports of specific commodities, including the use of supply chain management. Also discussed were: the availability of transportation cost data, and the availability of other shipping data; and, the applicability of the gravity model to estimate the extent to which distance is less of an inhibiting factor in exporting certain U.S. agricultural products
