The Exchange Rate and Inward Foreign Direct Investment in Mexico
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parajuli,   Shanta; Kennedy,   P. Lynn.
This paper analyzed the exchange rate and inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico from the 25 developed countries comprising the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Our empirical result does not support the significant relationship between exchange rate and exchange rate volatility to determine FDI in Mexico. The wages, export, and distance are found to be significant variables to determine FDI in Mexico which is supported by literatures.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Polcyn,   Tania; Vojtech,   Václav.
South Africa has undergone enormous economic, social and political change since its democratization process began in 1994. This policy note provides a preview of key findings of the OECD's agricultural policy review for South Africa.  Over the last 15 years, with the abolition of apartheid, South Africa has experienced fundamental change led by dramatic policy reforms aimed at creating a more open and market-oriented economy. As a part of the democratization process, the South African government has directed its macroeconomic policy towards stabilizing the economic environment, attaching high importance to the confidence of domestic entrepreneurs and the international community.  South Africa defines its agricultural policy objectives in the context of...

Disentangling the Demand-enhancing Effect and Trade-cost Effect of Technical Measures in Agricultural Trade among OECD countries
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Xiong,   Bo; Beghin,   John C.
Domestic technical measures such as SPS and TBTs can enhance import demand via information disclosure and quality improvement, or hamper foreign export supply via imposing sizeable compliance costs, or both. The traditional gravity equation model estimates the net effect of these measures on international trade with a loss of useful inference on separate effects. We stipulate a generalized gravity equation model to disentangle the two effects. We apply the augmented approach to agricultural trade among OECD countries in 2004. We find that technical measures in agriculture often jointly enhance import demand and hinder export supply with the net effect of promoting the propensity to trade. Further disaggregated data analysis reveals heterogeneity across...

Extending Theil's Inequality Index: Addressing Dynamic Convergence in the OECD
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Weatherspoon,   Dave D.; Seale,   James L., Jr.; Moss,   Charles B.
Theil’s inequality index is used to measure convergence in 14 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries in terms of per capita income, per capita government and investment expenditures, and industrial employment.  Results indicate that all four variables have converged over the sample period, 1950-1988.  Next, the indices of the four variables are made dynamic by using pairwise cointegration and Johansen’s I(2) multi-cointegration tests.  These tests indicate that the four inequalities are cointegrated; that is, there exists a long-run equilibrium between the four inequalities of the 14 OECD countries.  However, the inequality in per capita government expenditure has no effect on the G-7 equilibrium when analyzed without the...

Alternative Territorial Breakdowns of Statistics for Supporting Rural Policies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lauwers,   Ludwig H.; Kerselaers,   Eva; Lenders,   Sonia; Vervaet,   Mieke; Vervloet,   Dirk.
In order to support rural policy making with appropriate information, alternative territorial breakdowns of statistics are necessary. This paper shows how the widely used criterion of 150 inhabitants per km² can be fine tuned to better account for local specific conditions, in particular high population densities. Alternative population density thresholds are confronted with local perceptions of rurality, aggregated in a rurality index. The method is illustrated for two regions that differ in urbanisation level. The rurality index not only increases the discriminatory power, but also helps to find a less erroneous and more robust proxy for international comparable breakdowns of statistics.

Per Capita Income, Human Capital, and Inequality Convergence: A Latent-Variable Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Deepak,   Sri Devi; Seale,   James L., Jr.; Moss,   Charles B.
The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze determinants of income-level convergence.  Specifically, the effect of human capital on per capita income is estimated for 22 countries of the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  Additionally, the effects of openness in international trade and investment and government expenditures on per capita income are estimated and evaluated.  Human capital is modeled as a latent variable, and results indicate that it is a significant factor in explaining the variation of per capita income levels among the OECD countries.  Further, the entire time path of human capital is utilized to explain deviations in per capita income.

Ukraine's Agriculture Policy Review
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kwiecinski,   Andrzej.
Recently, the OECD prepared a detailed review of Ukraine's agricultural policies and potential that included Producer Support Estimates (PSE) calculations. Canada provided a peer-review of this paper. It provides a preview of the caliber and range of information that can be expected from the proposed consortium reviews.  The Ukraine review included discussions of how Ukrainian agricultural policies have evolved and the nature of agricultural support. It also highlighted macroeconomic conditions in the agroprocessing sector and rural infrastructure. In this way, the review drew out Ukraine's path as they grew from a struggling economy to a potential agricultural competitor.

The Effect of Innovation on Agricultural and Agri-food Exports in OECD Countries
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ghazalian,   Pascal L.; Furtan,   William Hartley.
This paper investigates the effect of innovation on primary agricultural and processed food product exports among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.  A theoretical gravity equation that accounts for innovation is derived.  The empirical exercise uses panel data sets covering 21 OECD countries for the period 1990-2003.  The R&amp;D capital stock is employed as a tangible way of measuring innovation.  Empirical results show that R&amp;D has enhanced exports in the primary agricultural sector.  Meanwhile, the market expansion effect of R&amp;D appears to be more than offset by the market power effect in the food processing sector, resulting in a decrease in exports.  Also, evidence was found of a positive vertical...

S. Andrés, J.M. García, and R. Compés. 2013. A scenario for the conversion of Common Agricultural Policy payments in Spain after the 2011 legislative proposals. Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(2):291-306. This paper evaluates the impact of a new model of agricultural policy outlined in legislative proposals issued by the European Commission in October 2011 and estimates its effects on agricultural aid in Spanish Autonomous Communities compared with 2009. Therefore, the OECD agricultural policy-index system was used. To the extent that transversal criteria are applied, which support the transfer of aid between territories, the results suggest that changing the payment assignation model would involve a redistribution of aid towards areas that currently least benefit from...
