Convergence in the Agricultural Incomes: A Comparison between the US and EU
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto; Gutierrez,   Luciano.
In this paper we compare the changes in farm incomes in EU regions and US States between 1989 and 2002. The aim of this comparative analysis is highlight the patterns of convergence or divergence and how they d iffer over time. We use two recent analytical instruments: non-stationary panel analysis and dynamic distribution analysis. Both tools overcome the problems involved in using standard cross-section analysis. The results of the non-stationary panel analysis show that the EU regions are converging, and that family farm income is converging faster than net added value. In the US states the analysis shows that substantial differences in farm income persist, and there are no evident signs of convergence.

The behaviour of food relative prices: An analysis across the European Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gutierrez,   Luciano; Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto.
In this paper we analyze the behavior of relative food prices for a set of 24 European countries observed during the period 1996.1 - 2007.7. Using new methods for analyzing nonstationary panels, we are able to show that relative food prices have a common component which accounts for a large share of their variance. We show that this component has had a greater effects on the group of countries that adopt the Euro. We also find that countries in the Euro area are more market integrated, i.e. food prices tend to converge, than countries that have not adopted the Euro. Finally, we report that the half-live of a shock to relative food prices varies depending on the product, and that the adjustment is generally faster, on average about 10 months, than those...

Long Term Structural Changes in the EU Countries (1970-2000): Convergence or Divergence in the Agri-Food System?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto.
The main objective of this paper is to analyse the structural changes in European Agri-food systems in the last 30 years in order to verify the presence of a convergence process towards a more homogeneous structure among EU countries. This analysis considers the relative importance of the main components of Agri-food systems (agriculture, food industry and food consumption) and how they change over time. The analysis of convergence utilise the European National Accounting Data (from the SEC2 Data Base of Eurostat) from 1970 to 2000 for twelve EU countries. We use tests of convergence on cross section data by countries, but also stochastic kernel methodologies to verify the dynamic evolution of groups of countries inside the EU. The results show there are...

EFFICIENCY OF THE ITALIAN AGRI-FOOD INDUSTRY: AN ANALYSIS OF "DISTRICTS EFFECT"
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Maccarini,   Elisa Ricci.
In the course of the past decades major transformations in the Italian food industry induced considerable structural changes: on one hand, the creation of large industrial groups, with substantial input of foreign capital and, on the other, the concentration and geographic specialisation of numerous small and medium enterprises, with the formation of specific and typical agri-food local system (districts).  To take account of the presence of food districts the analysis of the Italian food industry could not be conducted at national and regional level but it has to be studied at province and local level.  It is also useful to analyse the food industry with reference to the different sub-sectors.  We will conduct an in-depth analysis of the local systems...

A Comparative Analysis of the Meat Sector in Hungary and Emilia-Romagna: Performance and Efficiency
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto; Maccarini,   Elisa Ricci; Monasterolo,   Irene.
In the last years, a lot of important changes occurred inside the European Union after the entering of 12 new member States. The rate of economic growth of the new member States has been higher the other EU members. In Hungary, particularly, the growth level has reached an intermediate position, placing itself at 4% GDP per capita. Comparative analysis are needed to better understand the process of catching-up and to evaluate how the integration between EU regions and countries is going on. The aim of this paper is to compare the economic and efficiency performance of firms in Hungary and Emilia-Romagna, considering a specific sector, meat processing and storage, of the food industry). We will investigate if in the last years the integration process has...

The Relevance of the Policies of Development in the Agri-Food Sector of Emilia-Romagna Region
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Bonetti,   Mirko.
The aim of this paper is to analysis the impact of the policies of development and investments in the food industry at geographical and enterprises levels. We will analysis how the different geographical areas inside the Italian region Emilia-Romagna are sensitive to the development policies. A Principal Component Analysis and a Cluster Analysis will be applied to determine the most homogeneous geographical areas with respect to the considered variables. Then for evaluating the sensibility of these areas with respect to changes in investments and policies for food industry enterprise will be applied a Multicriterial Analysis and a Sensitivity Analysis.

A mosaic type of development - the Agri-food Districts experience in Italy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto.
The Italian Industrial Districts (IDs) are now considered in the national and international literature as one of the main factors of the successful and rapid industrial development of Italy after the Second World War. In this paper we outline the general characteristics of the IDs approach and then the distinctive figures of the agrifood districts. A mosaic type of development characterised the geographical distribution of the different agrifood districts in the Italian experience. The different origins of agrifood districts often determines their production and structural characteristics of firms, with a relevant role of SMEs. In many cases, these districts originated from handcraft traditions and specific local demand. Their specialized production is...

The Agrifood Districts in the New Millennium
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto.
The Italian Industrial Districts (IDs) are considered to be one of the main reasons for the rapid industrial development and success of Italy since the Second World War. The SME's have also played an important role in this. In this paper we outline the general characteristics of the ID approach and the main structural changes in the new millennium, due to them facing the process of globalization. The distinctive figures of the agrifood districts and their mosaic style of development are than analysed to highlight the similarities and differences between them and the other IDs. First show that they are more relevant and that their geographical distribution is more important than those of other recently analysed Italian ID's. The different zones of origin of...

Over fifteen years have elapsed since the transition from the centrally planned economic system started in the early 1990’s. During this time agricultural and rural areas of Central and Eastern Europe have undergone profound structural changes with wide variations in the degree of transformation and in the rate of success in creating a competitive market and private ownership based food and agricultural system. By becoming member of the European Union the "transition" in its traditional interpretation has been concluded in ten of the Central East European countries. The transition to market based agriculture, however, is far from completion in Southern and Eastern Europe and especially in the CIS countries. International Association of Agricultural...
