Greater historical perspective is needed to enlighten current debate about future human responses to higher temperatures and increased precipitation variation. We analyze the impact of climatic conditions and variability on agricultural production in five semi-arid western states. We assemble county-level data on dams and other major water infrastructure; agricultural crop mixes and yields; precipitation and temperature; soil quality, and topography. Using this extensive data set, we analyze the impact of water infrastructure investments on crop mix and yields in affected counties relative to similarly-endowed counties that lack such infrastructure. We find that water infrastructure smoothes agricultural crop production and increases the likelihood of a successful harvest, especially during times of severe drought or excessive precipitation.

Delays in construction projects are frequently expensive, since there is usually a construction loan involved which charges interest, management staff dedicated to the project whose costs are time dependent, and ongoing inflation in wage and material prices. Many techniques are used to analyze delays. Some of these methods have inherent weaknesses and should be avoided. This book points out the shortcomings of these faulty methods and explains how a delay analysis should be performed. It then describes specifically how the analysis is done with CPM schedules. A explanation of delays and delay

The increased popularity of college grade forgiveness policies, which allow students to substitute grades for repeated courses in their grade-point-average calculations, has been regarded as a consequence of the pressure colleges feel to ensure their "customers" are satisfied. However, this study identifies an important benefit that grade forgiveness confers on students: more risk-taking in the learning process. Using longitudinal administrative data from a four-year public institution that alternated between two grading schemes over a short period of seven years, we find that the adoption of the grade forgiveness policy, over the traditional practice of grade averaging, nudges students to pursue curriculum and/or degrees perceived as relatively more challenging and/or with harder grading standards, such as those in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This result holds true for first-time course-takers as well as for students who do not repeat any courses while in college. Finally, while helping students achieve ultimate mastery, we find no evidence that grade forgiveness delays graduation or elicits spending less effort by students.
