Item Evaluating the Effectiveness of Economic Incentives to Enhance Riparian Buffer Adoption and Environmental Benefits for Water Quality and Carbon Sequestration in Maryland(2024-10) Newburn, David; Lichtenberg, Erik; Kim, Youngho; Wietelman, Derek; Wang, HaoluanThis report assesses the effectiveness of economic incentives in encouraging Maryland farmers to adopt riparian buffers for improved water quality and carbon sequestration.

Policy recommendations focus on enhancing program efficiency through strategic incentive design.Item Agricultural Outlook and Policy Conference Agendas: 2014-2017, 2019(2022-11) Department of Agricultural and Resource EconomicsItem Modeling Residential Development in the Baltimore Metro Region(2013-10) Newburn, David A.; Ferris, JeffreyItem Modeling Transaction Costs and Barriers for Household Adoption of Lawn Conversion Practices(2022-02) Newburn, David A.; Wang, Haoluan; Brooks, Kelsey; Johnston, Robert; Ndebele, TomItem Farmland and Forest Conservation: Evaluating Successes and Failures for Smart Growth in Maryland and the United States.(2022-06) Newburn, David A.; Lynch, Lori; Wang, HaoluanItem New Coronavirus Food Assistance Program May Provide Relief to Maryland Growers Due to COVID-19 Losses(2020-05) Goeringer, PaulUSDA recently announced the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), a program of financial assistance for growers impacted by disruptions due to COVID-19, specifically for commodities which have seen a 5 percent loss or greater in price decline or losses due to supply chain disruptions.
