Comparison of Variety Performance Trials and Farm Level Yield Gains of Wheat Varieties Adopted in Saskatchewan
… farming or heterogeneity in yield across risk zones. Limited research has compared relative yield gains observed in variety performance trials to on-farm experiences. In this study, we use fixed-effects panel data analysis to compare on-farm relative yield gains to variety performance …

Key Drivers of Coastal Relocation in Spatial Clusters Along the US East Coast
… consider relocation as a more efficient disaster risk reduction strategy. This study focuses on the flood-prone urban areas along the US East Coast where residents are more willing to relocate due to coastal flooding. Using the survey data, it evaluates the flood experiences, considerations toward …
