Assistant Professor Gil DePaula published an article in volume 101 issue 2 of Land Economics. DePaula authored the article "The Trade-Off between Yield and Nitrogen Pollution under Excessive Rainfall: Evidence from On-Farm Field Experiments in Iowa" with Eseul Choi of the Bank of Korea, Peter Kyveryga of Iowa State University, and Suzanne Fey of the Iowa Soybean Association. The article incorporates the effects of excessive rainfall on corn yield and water pollution into a simple economic model for managing nitrogen and finds indications that both optimal nitrogen application rates and environmental damage increase with excessive rainfall.
