"Thanks to considerable improvements in productivity for corn and other crops, US planted land has decreased by 39 million acres since 1980 from about 356 to 317 million acres, an 11% decrease. Corn’s share increased from 23.6% to 27.8% (88 million acres) displacing 13.4 million acres of other crops (about 5.9% of the other crop total)."
This is a collection of hyperlinks to current news articles that deal with economic concepts (labeled) for my current and former students. The opinions and conclusions are expressly those of the authors, not necessarily mine. I have not commented on these articles because I want my students to have a chance to do so in their homework assignments. I always enjoy hearing what they have to say when they have thought through and provided evidence for their arguments.
