Abstract:

This paper is an attempt to analyze the conditions of direct sales in agriculture. The scope of the survey included surveys conducted on 54 agricultural producers in 2016 from the territory of three voivodships: Mazowieckie, Podlaskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie. On the basis of the conducted research, the factors determining direct sales in agricultural enterprises and their influence on the analysed process were identified. Farmers are increasingly looking for alternative forms of sale to sell agricultural products. The main reasons why agricultural producers do not engage in activities in the f

The purpose of this study is to broaden the definition of performance to include extra-role and in-role aspects in the conceptualisation of performance in direct selling. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the authors first report the development of the extra-role performance scale. A model of extra-role performance consisting of five dimensions including individual initiative, helping behaviour, self-development, organisational loyalty and organisational compliance was identified. Nomological validity of the newly developed scale was established by relating the dimensions of

Abstract:

Practitioners and consultants, who have developed much of the theory on the direct mail sales letter, emphasize one point: The reader must be enticed to read the letter. One way to entice the reader is to use an indirect arrangement of support: Invitation, Benefits and Proof, Acceptance, and Teaser. Other reader-directed principles are 1) create the look of a personalized letter and 2) employ strategies to promote readability.

Abstract:

Due to its subjective nature, the concept of value is not one that is easily defined. Marketers often refer to a product's 'value proposition' as an explanation to why an operator should buy a product or use a service. This statement should convince a potential operator that one particular product or service will add more value or better solve a problem than other similar offerings. In the rotorcraft market, this value proposition is often tied to capabilities of the helicopter and is typically defined as a composite metric. This metric is then compared to the acquisition cost to get a sense o

By direct catalytic cracking of “dirty” residue the refiner benefits economically by avoiding a whole intermediate process, namely vacuum distillation.

Using daily retail prices gathered through web scraping in Mexico, we analyze if price changes can be characterized by time-dependent features, like the duration of the price spell, and/or by variables associated with the state of the economy. Through the lens of a duration model, we find evidence of both time- and state-dependency behavior. Favoring time-dependency, on the one hand, estimates indicate that price spells exhibit greater risk of ending every seven days relative to other days in between. Advocating for state-dependency, the probability of price changes seems to be affected by var

Abstract:

The National Park Service (NPS) manages the Nation?s most iconic destinations that attract millions of visitors from across the Nation and around the world. Trip-related spending by NPS visitors generates and supports economic activity within park gateway communities. This report summarizes the annual economic contribution analysis that measures how NPS visitor spending cycles through local economies, generating business sales and supporting jobs and income. In 2023, the National Park System received 325.5 million recreation visits (up 4% from 2022). Visitors to national parks spent an estimat

Abstract:

This project analyzed public willingness to raise transportation revenues, public priorities for transportation spending, and public preferences for transportation revenue types using recent household travel surveys for the small urban areas of Billings and Missoula. The share of the public willing to pay more taxes or fees for transportation improvements was 44% in Billings and 36% in Missoula (including neutral or undecided responses). This level of public support for increased transportation revenues is perhaps higher than generally perceived by leaders reluctant to publicly support a gas t

Abstract:

Initial research on "translatinas" show that while these Latin American firms have invested primarily in their home region, a growing number have begun to invest more heavily in the rest of the world. However, an overall evaluation of their activities and performance in new markets and detailed discussion about their products, processes and future expectations is lacking. This analytic note addresses that gap by examining a group of Mexican firms with direct investments in China. The analysis includes (a) a general description of each firm (its products, processes, main locations, age, size, e

Abstract:

This technical paper documents one approach to incorporating monopolistic competition into the GTAP model. In this framework, consumer preferences are heterogeneous, leading to an apparent "love of variety" in the aggregate utility function for each region. The more heterogeneous are preferences, the smaller the elasticity of substitution in the aggregate utility function, and the greater the value placed on the addition of new varieties. The same is true for firms, which experience lower unit costs for differentiated, intermediate inputs, as the number of varieties on offer increases. In orde
