Item Dam removals: an agricultural analysis(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2024) Bush, Nathan Alexander; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Melissa C. LoPaloDam removals are occurring with increased frequency throughout the United States. 77% of all dam removal projects in U.S. history have occurred in the 21st century and the number of dams being removed each year is rising. Dams often play a key role in agricultural production, making it important for agricultural producers and policymakers to understand the effects of these removals as they become more common. This paper explores the causal effects of dam removal on agricultural productivity in the United States using a two-way fixed effects event study and an instrumental variable framework. Primary results of the analysis are mixed and differ based on exact specifications used but show initial evidence of per acre crop productivity increases and cash receipt declines following a removal. Further research is needed to explore the fine-scale effects of dam removals on individual agricultural producers and to expand on the preliminary causal relationships observed in this paper.Item Resources and income levels of farm and nonfarm rural residents in three western Montana counties(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1960) Holmes, Oliver WendellItem Land use taxation policy and agricultural land use(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1976) Pryputniewicz, Gary ThomasItem Productivity of resources used in grade A milk production in Ravalli County, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1960) Rixe, Lloyd C.Item Inducing shifts from crop production to beef on dryland farms in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1957) Carpy, Charles A.Item Agricultural productivity change and wealth distribution in Hampshire County, Massachusetts (1700-1779)(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1979) Fritz, Richard GerardItem Estimating the aggregate U.S. agricultural supply function(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1979) LaFrance, Jeffrey ThomasItem Economic opportunities for on-the-farm feed processing in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1964) Degn, Arne M.Item Agricultural implications of weather control(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1954) Pavelis, George A.Item Economic analysis of farm firm growth in a semi-arid area of Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1972) Larson, Donald Keith
