They play important roles in coordinating agricultural producers and migratory beekeepers, who both produce honey and provide pollination for crops. Recent trends in bee disease—including the still poorly understood colony collapse disorder, or CCD—can usefully be viewed in the context of how markets respond to environmental change. We analyze economic indicators of input and output markets related to managed honey bee operations, looking for effects from CCD. We find strong evidence of adaptation in these markets and remarkably little to suggest dramatic and widespread economic effects from CCD.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND RESOURCE ECONOMISTS}, author={Rucker, Randal R. and Thurman, Walter N. and Burgett, Michael}, year={2019}, month={Sep}, pages={927–960} } @article{rucker_thurman_1990, title={THE ECONOMIC-EFFECTS OF SUPPLY CONTROLS - THE SIMPLE ANALYTICS OF THE UNITED-STATES PEANUT PROGRAM}, volume={33}, ISSN={["0022-2186"]}, DOI={10.1086/467215}, abstractNote={A GRICULTURAL commodity programs employ a wide variety of policy tools to regulate U.S. agriculture. Price supports are the most common form of intervention, but rights to sell at the supported price are allocated very differently under different commodity programs. Under recent feed grain programs, for example, the right to sell at the supported price is linked to acreage set-asides: agreements not to produce on certain acres.' In other programs, sales by individual farmers are controlled under marketing orders sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).2 A third method is through permanent maketing quotas that directly limit output. Only two major commodity programs, those for tobacco and peanuts, currently allocate the right to sell in this way. The peanut program is the subject of this article.3}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF LAW & ECONOMICS}, publisher={University of Chicago Press}, author={RUCKER, RR and THURMAN, WN}, year={1990}, month={Oct}, pages={483–515} } @article{rucker_1990, title={THE EFFECTS OF STATE FARM RELIEF LEGISLATION ON PRIVATE LENDERS AND BORROWERS - THE EXPERIENCE OF THE 1930S}, volume={72}, ISSN={["1467-8276"]}, DOI={10.2307/1243142}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={RUCKER, RR}, year={1990}, month={Feb}, pages={24–34} }
