An Illustrated Guide to Research Findings from USDA's Economic Research Service

Economic Research Service

No 58341, Economic Information Bulletin from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: This book contains a sampling of recent ERS research illustrating the breadth of the Agency’s research on current policy issues: from biofuels to food consumption to land conservation to patterns of trade for agricultural products. What you won’t find in this collection is any mention of economists’ favorite analytic tools (regression analyses, for example, and coefficients of variation). We wanted this guide to highlight results, not process. Even so, the findings on display here are all based on rigorous and robust application of such tools as well as use of the latest econometric techniques.
