  • Addressing the water resource management issue
    Orprecio, Jim L.; Rola, Agnes C.; Deutsch, William G.; Coxhead, Ian; Sumbalan, Antonio (Makati City, Philippines: Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2002)
    The rapid growth in demand for water by the agricultural, industrial and household sectors will place greater pressure on Philippine water supplies in the future. Among the many water management issues, surface water management, watershed management or more precisely, river basin management is prominent in both the local and national scenes.

  • Development and the upland resource base: economic and policy context, and lessons from a Philippine watershed
    Coxhead, Ian (Manila: National Economic and Development Authority, 2002)
    This paper examines the complex, non-linear relationships between economic growth and environmental degradation that are apparent in the variety of experiences in the recent history of many tropical Asian economies. Numerous factors influence the growth-environment interactions, including the composition of production and consumption, new techniques and environmental policies, security of natural resource property rights, and pollution regulation and liability. Furthermore, environmental and economic policies are not distinct; an economic policy on resource allocation is also inherently an environmental policy. The current government trend of decentralizing is increasingly placing the burden of environmental management and policy design on local governments. This is an especially pressing responsibility for communities in Asias uplands, where sustainable natural resource management is urgently needed to reverse the escalating environmental damage resulting from agricultural expansion and intensification.
  • Economic incentives for land use change: evidence from Lantapan
    Coxhead, Ian; Demeke, B. (2004)
    Optimal land use and farm area choices depend on crop prices, input prices, family labor, household characteristics, and agro-ecological characteristics. Location in the watershed (e.g. altitude) is important. We can distinguish separate decision units by location for purposes of linking to environmental analyses. We parameterize the model using Lantapan farm survey data from 1994 - 2002.

    Raspberry plant named ‘Jaclyn’
    (United States Patent and Trademark Office, 2005-03-08)
    The present invention is a new and distinct primocane fruiting red raspberry cultivar named ‘Jaclyn’, which is capable of producing fruit much earlier than that of the standard cultivars. The cultivar is characterized by a vigorous suckering ability and its consistently large, dark, long conic and very symmetrical fruit. Fruit seldom sunscalds in the mid-Atlantic states when grown under standard irrigation and fertilization practices. Fruit aroma is very full, and fruit quality is excellent through even high temperatures. Fruit separation can be difficult in cooler weather.
