This study presents results of an analysis of 1060 academic articles published in the Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics and the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics from 1957 to 2015. Trends in research topics over time identified by the study include a decline in research on agricultural topics offset by growth in publications related to natural resources, the environment, trade, food and international development. Other trends include an increase in the average number of co‐authors on each paper, a gradual increase in authorship by females, changes in the shares of top contributing institutions, increases in collaboration between institutions and a steady increase in the number of authors from outside Australia or New Zealand.

“…Secondly, the shortage of funds and teachers drags down teaching quality, resulting in low scores of KPI indices. Thirdly, unscientific management hinders the supervision of teaching quality, and leads to unclear allocation of teaching management duties, making it impossible to achieve high-quality teaching in a sustainable manner [26]. Fourthly, many students face cultural shock, and lack enthusiasm about learning.…”

The key performance index (KPI) evaluation provides a guarantee for discipline construction, talent training, and research development and planning in colleges. Based on KPI evaluation model, this paper compares the professional teaching quality of economic management of different types of colleges, different teaching models, and different disciplines, through KPI appraisal. The results show that: teaching quality can be evaluated by several important indices, namely, teaching attitude, teaching content, teaching method, and teaching effect; the most important indices are teaching attitude and teaching content, followed by teaching effect and teaching method. The index scores of professional education mode were much higher than those of general education mode. Teaching effect is the highest rated index among students of accounting, and teaching attitude is the highest rated index among students of business administration. The research results lay the theoretical basis for colleges to improve KPI appraisal system and appraisal supervision system.

There can be no doubt that economists have made a substantial contribution to the management of natural resources in Australia and New Zealand. Pannell et al. (2016) provide an expert assessment of this contribution across water, agriculture and marine resource management in particular. Nevertheless, as Pannell et al. also highlight, economics has not been as influential as it could have been. I want to focus on this point in my brief commentary, and the role economics has played, and should continue to play, in conservation.One reason for the lack of influence of economics on natural resource management advanced by Pannell et al. is that 'conservation-minded stakeholders are actively opposed to the consideration of economics in decision making'. There is a good deal of truth in this. Indeed, sceptical individuals invariably argue that commercial interests and conservation are always at odds; yet those who are looking for profits from natural resource management argue that conservation goals always come at the expense of economic returns. Typical examples are setting aside forests, prime pasture and sections of the ocean for noncommercial use. Commercial concerns will argue that such closures simply limit economic activity and close off not only profitability, but also vital employment opportunities. Conservationists, on the other hand, claim that such measures are only a small part of the effort needed to protect the environment, regardless of the loss to profitability.But must this always be the case? Are profits and conservation always in conflict? The answer is no. There are clear examples where the use of conservation zones in fact enhances profitability. A recent strong case comes from the use of a marine protected area (MPA) in ocean fisheries (Grafton et al. 2009). An MPA generates a resilience effect, not only biologically, but also economically. It acts as a buffer stock, where spillover effects in fish stocks from a nearby MPA can compensate for a negative shock to a fishery. This buffer stock effect can be substantial, leading not only to higher catches over time, but both a quicker return to profitability and higher sustainable profits. The more negative shocks that occur and the greater their frequency (eg think of climate change and its effect on weather patterns in a fishery), the larger will be the benefits of an MPA. Only in cases where there are no † Tom Kompas
