Second generation biofuels: Economics and policies
TL;DR: In this article, the economic potential and environmental implications of second-generation bio-fuels from a variety of various feedstocks were reviewed, and it was shown that cost is a major barrier to increasing commercial production in the near to medium term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of Carbon Emission Estimates from Indirect Land-Use Change
Jerome Dumortier,Dermot J. Hayes,Miguel Carriquiry,Fengxia Dong,Xiaodong Du,Amani Elobeid,Jacinto F. Fabiosa,Simla Tokgoz +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an agricultural projection and greenhouse gas model are used to assess the impact of global cropland expansion on carbon emissions and the sensitivity of those estimates to modifications in assumptions concerning idle croplands, the degree of refinement in carbon coefficients, market responses, and yield increase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural Land Elasticities in the United States and Brazil
TL;DR: The elasticity of aggregate supply of cropland is one key to understanding the degree to which policy-induced increases in demand for biofuel feedstocks or agricultural CO2 offsets will result in higher prices or expanded crop production as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reputations, Market Structure, and the Choice of Quality Assurance Systems in the Food Industry
TL;DR: This paper developed a repeated purchases model to explore how quality discoverability, market structure, nature of reputations, market premiums, and discount factors drive firm choice about the stringency of quality assurance systems designed to gain consumer trust.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine four scenarios for the evolution of the biofuel sector using a partial equilibrium model of the world agricultural sector, including the new Renewable Fuels Standard in the 2007 energy act, the two-way relationship between fossil energy and biofuel markets, and a new trend toward corn oil extraction in ethanol plants.
