The cosmic production of helium (2003)
Jimenez, Raul, Flynn, Chris, MacDonald, James, Gibson, Brad K.
We estimate the cosmic production rate of helium relative to metals (ΔY/ΔZ) using K dwarf stars in the Hipparcos catalog with accurate spectroscopic metallicities. The best fitting value is ΔY/ΔZ...

This paper uses a unique data set provided by the Census Bureau to empirically examine technological change and economies of scale in the chicken and turkey slaughter industries. Results reveal...
The Minimum Wage, Restaurant Prices, and Labor Market Structure
Daniel Aaronson, Eric French, James MacDonald
Using store-level and aggregated Consumer Price Index data, we show that restaurant prices rise in response to minimum wage increases under several sources of identifying variation. We introduce a...
At What Rate Do Farmers Substitute Manure For Commercial Fertilizers?
O'Donoghue, Erik, MacDonald, James, Nehring, Richard
Water quality has implications for the health of our ecosystem and the welfare of our population. Agriculture is one of the major contributors of non-point source pollution that contaminates our...
Local Monopsony Power in the Market for Broilers - Evidence from a Farm Survey
The exercise of monopsony power by broiler processing firms is plausible because production occurs within localized complexes, which limits the number of integrators with whom growers can contract....
Duration in Production Contracts
We use 2003 and 2004 ARMS data to analyze variations in contract duration among growers of broilers who hold production contracts. Most contracts cover just a single flock, but many extend for 1-2...
