A quarterly, partial-equilibrium vector-autoregression model of the U.S. durum wheat and pasta markets was estimated and simulated under three trade-barrier changes that are of potential relevance for the current round of WTO agricultural negotiations: a rise in the U.S. market-clearing durum wheat quantity from increased imports; a policy- or tariff- reduction-induced decline in U.S. durum wheat price; and a tariff-induced rise in U.S. pasta product prices. In response to each shock, an array of quarterly dynamic response characteristics are examined: response reaction times, direction and pattern of quarterly responses, response durations, response multipliers, and strength of durum/pasta market interrelationships.Industrial Organization,

Summary: The objective of the report is to serve as a vehicle for the accumulation and dissemination of information concerning the application and operation of radioisotopic power generators (RPGs) within the Navy. It will be noted that all RPGs presently listed are radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). Unless specifically identified as an engineering evaluation, items contained in this report are presented as an impartial collection of facts, observations and other information. The East Coast RPG Surveillance Facility (SURFAC) located at the Naval Nuclear Power Unit, Fort Belvoir, was placed operational on 1 June 1973. Three Sentinel 25-D's were placed operational on a tower operated by the Naval Coastal Systems Laboratory of the coast of Panama City, Florida. Three Sentinel 25-E's were recovered from the Amchitka Island, Alaska area and turned over to the U.S. Navy by the AEC. The AEC turned over the development SNAP-23A to the U.S. Navy. Eight Gulf one-watt RPG's were procured by the U.S. Navy. (Author)
Synopsis:More than 20 years since the United States launched its invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the origins of the war remain highly contested, both among scholars and policy practitioners alike. As tensions continue to flare in the region and thousands of U.S. troops continue to deploy to military bases within Iraq, understanding the history of U.S. involvement in this country is critical for understanding the United States’s role in the modern Middle East. Joining This episode of The Debrief analyzes the causes and consequences of the Iraq War with Dr. Joseph Stieb, assistant professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College and author of The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990 to 2003.About the Speaker: Joseph Stieb joined the U.S. Naval War College in 2022 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at The Ohio State University’s Mershon Center for International Security Studies. He received a Ph.D. in U.S. history from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2019. He studies U.S. foreign policy, politics, and ideas in the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly the Iraq War and the War on Terrorism. He is the author of The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Cambridge, 2021) and has also published in Diplomatic History, Modern American History, The International History Review, The Washington Post, War on the Rocks, Foreign Policy, American Purpose, and Arc Digital.The views presented by the faculty or other guest speakers do not reflect official positions of the Naval War College, DON or DOD.

Studies of early U.S. growth traditionally have emphasized real-sector explanations for an acceleration that by many accounts became detectable between 1815 and 1840. Interestingly, the establishment of the nation's basic financial structure predated by three decades the canals, railroads, and widespread use of water and steam-powered machinery that are thought to have triggered modernization. We argue that this innovative and expanding financial system, by providing debt and equity financing to businesses and governments as new technologies emerged, was central to the nation's early growth and modernization. The analysis includes a set of multivariate time series models that relate measures of banking and equity market activity to measures of investment, imports and business incorporations from 1790 to 1850. The findings offer support for our hypothesis of "finance-led" growth in the U.S. case. By implication, the interest today in improving financial systems as a means of fostering sustainable growth is not misplaced.

This paper uses results from simulations of the FAIRMODEL, USAGMKTS, and MEXAGMKTS models to analyze the effects of changes in U.S. agricultural policy on Mexican agricultural markets. The author concludes that under a scenario of trade liberalization for Mexico, Mexican agricultural production, prices, and trade are quite sensitive to agricultural policy changes in the U.S. The genesis of the research project was the perception that agricultural policies in Mexico (and many other countries) are often second best responses to the negative side effects of broad economic policies aimed primarily at macroeconomic and international trade objectives. The paper also discusses the role of agriculture in Mexican economic policy, and MEXAGMKTS, FAIR and USAGMKTS models. The paper includes an analysis of the sensitivity of Mexican agricultural markets to U.S. agricultural policy and a brief summary of the implications of the results.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Agricultural Research,Access to Markets,Markets and Market Access

Wildlife watching is one of the most popular types of outdoor recreation in the United States. Nearly a third of the U.S. population, 71 million people, enjoyed closely observing, feeding, and photographing wildlife in 2006. Wildlife watching around the home and on trips is an important and growing form of recreation. Eight percent more people participated in 2006 than in 2001.
In addition to contributing significantly to people’s enjoyment of the outdoors, wildlife watching has a substantial impact on the nation’s and states’ economies.

These direct expenditures are only part of the total picture. Businesses and industries that supply the local retailers where the purchases are made also benefit from wildlife-watching expenditures. For example, a family may decide to purchase a pair of binoculars to use primarily for birdwatching on an upcoming vacation. Part of the total purchase price will go to the local retailer such as a sporting goods store. The sporting goods store in turn pays a wholesaler that in turn pays the manufacturer of the binoculars. The manufacturer then spends a portion of this income to pay businesses supplying the manufacturer.
In this fashion, each dollar of local retail expenditures can affect a variety of businesses at the local, regional, and national level. Consequently, consumer

With respect to employment, major industrial sectors affected include trade with over 358 thousand jobs (34 percent); accommodation and food services with 116 thousand jobs (11 percent); real estate and rental with 71 thousand jobs (7 percent) and arts, entertainment, and recreation with 61 thousand jobs (6 percent).
The retail trade sector accounted for the largest portion of income at 10.6billion(28percent);manufacturingaccountedfor3.5 billion (9 percent); transportation and warehousing with 2.6billion(7percent)andaccommodationandfoodservicesat2.4 billion (6 percent). Table 3 summarizes economic impacts by major business sector.
Federal and State Taxes
Wildlife-watching expenditures generate taxes at both the state and federal level in a number of ways. Direct and indirect expenditures generate state sales tax (except in those states without sales tax). Second, employment income is taxed at both the state (with the exception of states which do not tax income) and federal levels. Additionally, tax revenue is generated through taxes on corporate profits and excise taxes such as fuel taxes. Based on total industrial output and associated employment that result from wildlife-watching, 2006 tax revenue at the federal level was 9.3billion,andtaxrevenueatthestateandlocallevelswas8.9 billion.

State Impacts
Table 5 shows the economic impacts of wildlife-watching expenditures by state for 2006. U.S. totals are shown at the bottom of Table 4. State totals do not add up to U.S. totals because state impact figures show only those impacts which occur within the state. For example, a Bozeman, Montana sporting goods store may carry a brand of fishing tackle that is manufactured in Burlington, Vermont. When an angler purchases the fishing tackle, only a portion of the money is kept by the retailer in Montana. Part of the total selling price goes to the Vermont manufacturer. This transaction between the sporting goods store and the manufacturer (or wholesaler, depending on the situation) will not appear in the Montana state totals. However, the U.S. totals capture these interstate impacts.
