A major pillar of the field of agricultural and resource economics (referred to hereafter as agricultural economics) is its tradition of interdisciplinarity, especially in linking socioeconomic and biophysical processes. In contrast to economic analysis in other fields, agricultural economists are more likely to broaden their experimental perspective to include interaction or feedback between humans and the natural world. This orientation has led in large part to increased interest in studies of economic processes over both time and space, using both dynamic optimization and spatial analysis (Kennedy 1986; Miranda and Fackler 2002; Nelson 2002).
