Identificación de la logística del mercado de la cebada (Hordeum vulgare) en los estados de Hidalgo y Tlaxcala, México.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Vázquez Alfaro, Marisol.
La producción de cebada en México ha aumentado en los últimos años, de tal forma que actualmente ocupa el quinto lugar en la producción nacional de granos, después del maíz, sorgo, trigo y frijol, desplazando de éste lugar al arroz y el garbanzo. La principal región productora de cebada en México es el Altiplano Central. Las presiones competitivas entre los productores y los intermediarios, así como el ambiente económico, han forzado a que se analice profundamente la estructura de la cadena cebada en la región del Altiplano Central. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar las necesidades de infraestructura logística de comercialización de la cebada en los estados de Hidalgo y Tlaxcala como parte de la región del Altiplano central, para hacer...

Conservation and Unscripted Development:  Proximity to Park Associated with Development and Financial Diversity
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Baird, Timothy D.; Virginia Tech; tbaird@vt.edu.
Decades of research on the social dynamics of biodiversity conservation has shown that parks and protected areas have added hardship to rural communities throughout much of the developing world.  Nonetheless, some recent studies have found evidence of poverty alleviation near protected areas.  To build on these conflicting accounts, I use a comparative, mixed-methods design to examine opportunistic, unplanned, i.e., unscripted, development in indigenous communities near Tarangire National Park (TNP) in northern Tanzania.  I ask the questions: (1) How is proximity to TNP related to community-level infrastructural development?  (2) How has the process of development changed over time? and (3) How is proximity to TNP related to infrastructure-related social...

Oceans cover approximately 70% of the Earth's surface and, with about 60% of the World's population living within 200 km of the coast, they have an untold impact on all of us. Not surprisingly, for people living close to the coast or those who depend on the ocean for their livelihood, regular forecasts of ocean conditions are just as important as traditional weather forecasts. Therefore, development of the infrastructure needed to support and sustain independent, European operational ocean forecasting, and the associated coastal and marine information services, are key priorities of the joint Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative by the European Commission and ESA.

Infrastructure in developing countries: An overview of some economic issues
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dethier,   Jean-Jacques; Moore,   Alexander.
This paper surveys the main issues and controversies in the economic literature on infrastructure in developing countries. Section I reviews the evidence on the role of infrastructure in promoting economic growth. It is argued that, although infrastructure may be more important for growth than other types of capital, the exact size and form of its effect is less clear than is often assumed. Section II looks at the issue of infrastructure “needs”, estimates of which are pervasive in both the academic and policy literature. It is argued that the preoccupation with such estimates is largely misplaced. More crucial is to develop systems of infrastructure enabling competition through an appropriate market structure. Therefore, section III reviews the economic...

Decision Support System for Evaluating Rural Water Supply Infrastructure Scenarios
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stoecker,   Arthur L.; Sanders,   Dee Ann; Whitacre,   Brian E.
This paper seeks to develop a methodology that will be useful for rural water districts in assessing the future of their water systems infrastructure.  In particular, the use of free water simulation software and publicly available data on population, roads, and terrain present rural water systems with the opportunity to analyze their existing distribution system and forecast where problems are likely to occur.  This methodology will allow various alternatives (such as consolidation with a neighboring system, or pipe upgrades) to be evaluated and the costs of implementing these alternatives to be explored.  Finally, different avenues for funding the associated costs can be summarized and presented to the community, including the steps needed to apply for...

Estimating the impact of transport efficiency on trade costs: Evidence from Chinese agricultural traders
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Li,   Zhigang; Yu,   Xiaohua; Zeng,   Yinchu.
Using a unique survey data on agricultural traders in China in 2004, this study provides direct evidence on significance of interregional transport costs and their key determinants. Our major findings are as follows: (1) the trade barriers within China are dominated by transport-related costs but not artificial barriers, approximated by tolls and fines; (2) Labor and fuels costs are the most significant component of transport costs; (3) road quality is very important for transportation efficiency. Our results indicate that if increasing transport speed by 1 km per hour now, the fuel costs and total direct transportation costs for Chinese traders would reduce by 1.3% and 0.7% respectively.

Paving the Way for Development: The Impact of Road Infrastructure on Agricultural Production and Household Wealth in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ulimwengu,   John M.; Funes,   Jose; Headey,   Derek D.; You,   Liang.
Given its vast land resources and favorable water supply, the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) natural agricultural potential is immense. However, the economic potential of the sector is handicapped by one of the most dilapidated transport systems in the developing world (World Bank, 2006). Road investments are therefore a high priority in the government's investment plans, and those of its major donors. Whilst these are encouraging signs, very little is known about how the existing road network constrains agricultural and rural development, and how these new road investments would address these constraints. To inform this issue the present paper primarily employs GIS-based data to assess the impact of market access on agricultural and rural...

The Environment for Agricultural and Agribusiness Investment in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Landes,   Maurice R.
Despite strong overall economic growth and strengthening food demand, investment in Indian agriculture and agribusiness has remained sluggish, and growth in farm output has slowed, since the early 1990s. An array of policies and regulations affecting agricultural production, marketing, and food processing—along with weak infrastructure and a lack of market services—have discouraged private investment by farmers and large, vertically integrated agribusinesses. The policy environment has grown more investor friendly since the late 1990s and private investment appears to be responding, but significant barriers remain and the pace of future reforms remains uncertain.

ROLE OF INNOVATIONS AND KNOWLEDGE – INFRASTRUCTURE AND INSTITUTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nabradi,   Andras.
There is a well known saying: Research converts money into knowledge, innovation converts knowledge into money. The knowledge-based economy has four pillars: innovation, education, the economic and institutional regime, and information infrastructure. Transformation towards a knowledge-based economy will necessarily shift the proportion and growth of national income derived from knowledge-based industries, the percentage of the workforce employed in knowledge-based jobs and the ratio of firms using technology to innovate. Progress towards a knowledge-based economy will be driven by four elements: human capital development, knowledge generation and exploitation (R&amp;D), knowledge infrastructure. Increased investment in these four areas will certainly have...

Augmented Gravity Model: An Empirical Application to Mercosur-European Union Trade Flows
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Martinez-Zarzoso,   Inmaculada; Nowak-Lehmann,   Felicitas.
This paper applies the gravity trade model to assess Mercosur-European Union trade, and trade potential following the agreements reached recently between both trade blocs. The model is tested for a sample of 20 countries, the four formal members of Mercosur plus Chile and the fifteen members of the European Union. A panel data analysis is used to disentangle the time invariant country-specific effects and to capture the relationships between the relevant variables over time. We find that the fixed effect model is to be preferred to the random effects gravity model. Furthermore, a number of variables, namely, infrastructure, income differences and exchange rates added to the standard gravity equation, are found to be important determinants of bilateral...

Spatial autocorrelation and non-farm rural enterprises in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gibson,   John; Olivia,   Susan.
Non-farm rural enterprises (NFRE) are increasingly studied because of their role in poverty reduction. However, existing studies of the effects of infrastructure on NFRE may give incorrect inferences because they typically fail to account for spatial effects. Such effects could reflect either spatial errors due to excluded local effects or spatial lags due to excluded interactions, such as between households switching out of farm work. We use rural investment climate survey data from Indonesia that allow distances between each household to be measured so that spatial effects can be modeled to assess the bias from ignoring such effects.

Development of infrastructure is essential presumption for growth and development of relevant economic entities. The empirical evidence of private initiative importance and potentials in the establishment of cooperation with the public sector in infrastructure projects financing and operation refocused professional and academic attention on the studies of this phenomenon. The realm of the public private partnership (PPP) became scientifically treated as an interdisciplinary skill based mostly on project financing, whilst practically it became almost mandatory method for economic prosperity. Practical problems in implementation appeared due to lack of knowledge and nonsystematic approach in researches of private public partnership. This paper presents...

The Effect of Infrastructure Access and Quality on Non-farm Employment and Income in Rural Indonesia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Olivia,   Susan; Gibson,   John.
There is growing interest in the rural non-farm sector in developing countries as a contributor to economic growth, employment generation, livelihood diversification and poverty reduction. Access to infrastructure is identified in some studies as a factor that affects non-farm rural employment and income but less attention has been paid to the constraints imposed by poor quality infrastructure. In this paper we use data from 4000 households in rural Indonesia to show that the quality of two key types of infrastructure – roads and electricity – affects both employment in and income from non-farm enterprises. It appears that there would be gains from development strategies that improve both the access to and the quality of rural infrastructure.

To identify the determinants of cross-country disparities in personal computer and Internet penetration, we examine a panel of 161 countries over the 1999-2001 period. Our candidate variables include economic variables (income per capita, years of schooling, illiteracy, trade openness), demographic variables (youth and aged dependency ratios, urbanization rate), infrastructure indicators (telephone density, electricity consumption), telecommunications pricing measures, and regulatory quality. With the exception of trade openness and the telecom pricing measures, these variables enter in as statistically significant in most specifications for computer use. A similar pattern holds true for Internet use, except that telephone density and aged dependency...

A rendszerváltozás óta alapjaiban változtak meg a külső és a belső körülmé-nyek, a termelés, a feldolgozás és az értékesítés közgazdasági környezete. Az élelmiszergazdaság elemei közti régi, akkor sem teljes összhang összeomlott, az újak pedig még nem jöttek létre, nem váltak általánossá. Elmaradott, szűk ke-resztmetszetű a mezőgazdaság infrastruktúrája és sajnos ez jellemzi az agrártér-ség, a vidék infrastruktúráját is. A mezőgazdasági térségekben lassabb a növe-kedés és a fejlődés üteme, visszafogottabb a beruházás, erősebb a tőkehiány.

Managing Conflict Over Natural Resources in Greater Kordofan, Sudan: Some Recurrent Patterns and Governance Implications
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Siddig,   El Fatih Ali; El-Harizi,   Khalid; Prato,   Bettina.
Despite the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which brought to an end 20 years of civil war in the Sudan, this country continues to experience smaller-scale conflicts, particularly around access to and control of natural resources. Some observers lay the blame for this on ethnopolitical or tribal divisions. However, this paper argues that there are a variety of factors at play behind these conflicts, notably the combination of resource scarcity with a crisis of governance that is particularly evident in transitional areas like the Kordofan region. To gain a sense of the range of conflicts around natural resources in Kordofan, the authors reviewed existing records such as government archives; conducted interviews with politicians, federal and state...

Road Improvement and Poverty Reduction in Laos
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Warr,   Peter G.
Laos is a mountainous country with poor roads and a high rate of poverty incidence, especially in rural areas. It is obvious that better roads could reduce poverty, but by how much? And what forms of road improvement reduce poverty the most? The economic effects of road improvement are complex and multi-channeled. This paper uses a multi-household general equilibrium modeling approach to study these issues. The results indicate that road improvement does reduce poverty but that the quantitative impact depends heavily on the types of road that are provided and the areas in which the road is located.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Farrell,   Terence C.
The Australian wheat industry has changed considerably in structure and governance during the past 15 years. The most important changes have been the deregulation of the domestic market and privitisation of the former Australian Wheat Board into AWB Limited. Through these changes growers have become shareholders in the various companies. Governance of the monopolistic relationship between AWB Limited and AWB International by the Federal Minister of Agriculture and the Grains Council of Australia through the Wheat Export Authority has proved ineffective. Hence a national organisation that represents shareholders is recommended to increase grower governance of the supply chain and marketing of wheat.

Yet this information is critical for efficient management of heritage. This study uses a survey technique (Choice Modelling) to estimate value estimates. To the author’'s knowledge, it is the first study to use this approach to understand community preferences for alternative protection outcomes at a national level — as opposed to site specific...
