Funding-Economics of
Markets for Agricultural Greenhouse Gases; June 14,

Description
The
Economic Research Service (ERS) of USDA is accepting proposals for fiscal year 2010
for economic research in three broad areas related to U.S. agricultural
participation in proposed greenhouse gas markets. The research should focus on
the economics of agricultural activities and practices, including agricultural
land use, that increase carbon sequestration or reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, together referred to as “greenhouse gas reductions.” Proposals must
focus on U.S. agriculture. Of particular interest is research on (1) estimates
of supply curves of greenhouse gas reductions from U.S. agriculture, (2) the
integrity of agricultural greenhouse gas reductions procured through markets,
including provisions designed to enhance this integrity; and (3) the role of
non-neoclassical behavior in the provision of agricultural greenhouse gas
reductions through markets. ERS will accept proposals under this program for
funding levels of up to $150,000 for a period not to exceed 3 years. Total
funding available for this research is approximately $500,000. The deadline for
proposal submission is June 14, 2010.
