Comparing risk attitudes of organic and non-organic farmers with a Bayesian random coefficient model

Organic farming is usually considered to be more risky thanconventional farming, but the risk aversion of organic farmerscompared with that of conventional farmers has not been studied.Using a non-structural approach to risk estimation, a Bayesianrandom coefficient model is used to obtain individual Arrow–Prattcoefficients of absolute risk aversion for a sample of Dutchorganic and non-organic arable farmers. The model is estimatedusing Gibbs sampling. The results indicate that organic farmersare significantly less risk averse than their non-organic colleagues.     

由磷肥企业副产氟硅酸制备氟化钠的研究

重点介绍了以磷肥企业副产氟硅酸为原料制备氟化钠的新工艺。首先用氨水氨化脱硅得到氟化铵溶液,再向氟化铵溶液加氯化钠合成氟化钠。对影响反应的温度、时间、物料配比等因素进行了探讨,得出具体工艺为:(1)氨化反应:H2SiF6浓度在12%～14%之间,氨水过量25%,反应温度为60～70℃,反应时间120min。(2)氟化钠合成:氯化钠过量15%～20%,反应温度85～90℃。产物氟化钠纯度大于98%,收率大于80%。     

Consumer Preferences for ‘Localness’ and Organic Food Production

While organic food is based on well-defined production criteria, the criteria for ‘local’ food are less clear. This study investigates the preferences and trade-offs of distinct consumer segments relative to organic production and several dimensions of local food (sales channel, size of company, and geographical location of animals used in the production). The analysis is based on a quantitative survey of 505 Danish consumers and a choice experiment involving beef salami. Data were analyzed in a principal component and a latent class analysis. We identify five consumer segments whose preferences for organic and local product attributes differed substantially. Most respondents considered geographical proximity in the raising of cattle to be the most important attribute and a third of the consumers were willing to pay a premium for organic salami. The segmentation provides more detailed information about stated consumer behavior than what is typically elicited when considering only average consumer behavior.     

Optimal forecast evaluation: fertilizer prices

High fertilizer price volatility makes production planning and inventory management difficult, so accurate fertilizer price forecasts would be beneficial. This article evaluates commercial forecasts for urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP) prices based on forecast accuracy and optimal forecast properties. Most forecasts pass the tests, but forecasts for the US New Orleans urea and the US Gulf DAP markets, in particular, do not and thus show potential to be improved.     

有机硅废水达标处理工艺的探讨与应用

本文介绍了一种处理有机硅废水的新的工艺组合,即铁炭微电解——水解酸化——UASB——MBR联合处理法,第一步铁炭微电解很明显的改善了有机硅原水的可生化性,BOD/COD值可达0.52;进入水解酸化池后,部分大分子降解成小分子物质,可生化性进一步提高;随后进入UASB,在颗粒污泥的作用下,COD去除率达到81%;在曝气池中,设置MBR,进一步去除了COD,去除率为96%;最终出水能达标排放。

论崛起三角向均衡三角的有机扩散——基于“两个大局”战略与大国崛起之路

本文认为从珠三角、长三角和环渤海三大城市群的崛起,到泛珠三角、泛长三角和大环渤海"均衡三角"的有机扩散.这是依照"两个大局"战略并遵循极化与扩散因果关系规律。实现中国这个发展中大国崛起之路:并认为三大城市群崛起主要在于财政分权改革,即实行省级财政承包制与分税制."崛起三角"扩散为"均衡三角"仍需从财政改革再突破.依托"均衡三角"预算平台实行区域财政横向均衡制度.以实现公共服务均等化而又不损坏区域发展竞争的效率机制.并通过剔除常住人口统计中创造财富外溢或享有公共服务外溢等非真实因素后"标准人"的假定与论证.解决了区域内政府间财力均衡公式化分配的难题。
