Pesticide susceptibility is a depletable biological resource, but resistance management rarely quantifies marginal, forward‐looking economic costs to users of depletion. To facilitate the development of such costs, we use a generic stochastic bioeconomic model of resistance evolution in a crop pest population, stochastic dynamic programming, and global sensitivity analysis to analyze the “marginal user costs” of resistance. The most impactful parameters are population density dependence and pesticide prices. The least impactful is the fitness cost of resistance, which is noteworthy because of prior emphasis on this parameter in the resistance management literature.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Cho, Chanheung and Brown, Zachary and Gross, Kevin and Tregeagle, Daniel}, year={2024}, month={Feb}, pages={212–227} } @article{siegle_astill_plakias_tregeagle_2024, title={Estimating perennial crop supply response: A methodology literature review}, volume={1}, ISSN={["1574-0862"]}, DOI={10.1111/agec.12812}, abstractNote={AbstractPerennial crops are important both economically and as a component of a healthy and nutritious diet (e.g., many fruits and nuts). However, the study of perennial crop production and farmer response to output price changes (i.e., supply response) is complex thanks to the dynamic nature of investment and decision making in these industries. The body of literature relevant to perennial crop supply response is also small relative to that of annual commodity crops. In this article, we contribute the first literature review on perennial crop supply response modeling in more than 30 years. We catalog advancements in estimating perennial crop supply response and discuss the application of these methods and trade‐offs economists should be aware of when using them. In addition, we highlight future modeling developments that may be valuable to the field, with the hope this research will encourage additional economic research on this interesting and important topic and in turn provide new insights for perennial crop producers and policymakers.}, journal={AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={Siegle, Jonathon and Astill, Gregory and Plakias, Zoe and Tregeagle, Daniel}, year={2024}, month={Jan} } @article{tregeagle_zilberman_2023, title={Minimizing the Costs of Biorefinery Feedstock by Managing Perennial Crop Age: The Case of Brazilian Sugarcane}, volume={6}, ISSN={["2056-7405"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1017/aae.2023.21}, DOI={10.1017/aae.2023.21}, abstractNote={AbstractWe develop and analyze an unexplored mechanism to reduce biorefinery supply chain costs when the feedstock is a perennial crop: adjusting the age structure, and hence yield, of the perennial feedstock. The non-monotonicity of the age-yield function introduces a non-convexity to the cost minimization problem. We show that, despite this, the problem has a solution and present analytic and numeric comparative statics, finding that larger refineries are most likely to benefit from optimizing age structure. The model is calibrated to the sugarcane industry in Brazil. The cost reductions from optimizing age, compared to the observed regional average age, are less than 1%.}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND APPLIED ECONOMICS}, author={Tregeagle, Daniel and Zilberman, David}, year={2023}, month={Jun} } @article{kilduff_tregeagle_2022, title={Willingness-to-Pay for Produce: A Meta-Regression Analysis Comparing the Stated Preferences of Producers and Consumers}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2311-7524"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae8040290}, DOI={10.3390/horticulturae8040290}, abstractNote={Willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates help agribusinesses estimate whether a new product is likely to be profitable. For produce, new products, such as new fruit varieties, need to be adopted by producers before they can be sold to consumers. The study of ex ante fruit and vegetable producer preferences is relatively new. This study uses meta-regression analysis to compare the estimated WTP premium between U.S. producers and consumers to determine whether they differ. After controlling for differences in study methods, product attributes, and potential publication bias, the producer WTP was between 14.16 and 27.73 percentage points higher. Subject to several caveats and limitations, this suggests that consumer WTP can be a sufficient metric for the profitability of new produce products.}, number={4}, journal={HORTICULTURAE}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Kilduff, Alice and Tregeagle, Daniel}, year={2022}, month={Apr} } @article{mace_rudder_goodhue_tolhurst_tregeagle_wei_grafton-cardwell_grettenberger_wilson_van steenwyk_et al._2022, title={Balancing Bees and Pest Management: Projected Costs of Proposed Bee-Protective Neonicotinoid Regulation in California}, volume={115}, ISSN={["1938-291X"]}, url={https://publons.com/wos-op/publon/45127735/}, DOI={10.1093/jee/toab231}, abstractNote={AbstractNeonicotinoid insecticides are widely used in agriculture, including in many California specialty crops. With mounting evidence that these insecticides are harmful to bees, state and national governments have increasingly regulated their use. The European Union, Canada, and United States have imposed use restrictions on several neonicotinoids, such as on the timing of applications. In 2020, California proposed a draft regulation to mitigate harm to managed pollinators from four nitroguanidine-substituted neonicotinoids (NGNs): clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam. We use data on California pesticide use from 2015 to 2017 to analyze the economic and pest management implications of the 2020 draft proposed regulation for seven crops: almond, cherry, citrus, cotton, grape, strawberry, and tomato. From 2015 to 2017, these crops accounted for approximately 85% of total hectares treated with NGNs and 87% of NGN use by kilograms of active ingredient applied in treatments that would have been affected by the proposed regulation. These insecticides often primarily target Hemipteran insect pests. In most cases there are alternatives; however, these are often more expensive per hectare and do not have the same residual effectiveness as the NGNs, which are systemic insecticides. Overall, we estimate that pest management costs for these crops would have increased an estimated $13.6 million in 2015, $12.8 million in 2016, and $11.1 million in 2017 if the 2020 draft proposed regulation had been in effect, representing a 61% to 72% increase in the cost of managing the target pests.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={Mace, Kevi and Rudder,
