| The paper shows how, when the enforceability of regulations is size-sensitive, price competition can lock firms into informality and, thus, smallness, depending on the form of the production function. In that context, exogenours "help"packages targeted to informal firms "promote" micro and small enterprises (i.e., increase their numbers) but do not "develop" them (i.e., foster their growth). The "help" only generates a short-term span of abnormal profits for existing informal firms, and a long-term income transfer toward informal-market consumers. The model is tested in the context of Egypt's micro and small enterprise sector. |

| This paper aims to evaluate milk mini-plants as policy proposals, targeting the generation of income and employment in local/regional bounds. Thus, it will be possible to improve the production efficiency of the home producers and the quality of the product to the consumer. Theoretical concept discussions among several related authors found in the literature in order to incorporate some key elements which might configure a proper analysis of the proposal. The data were obtained through standard interviews applied to producers from nine establishments found in the Rural Development Office (RDO) of Araraquara/SP, which is branch of milk basin of Ribeirão Preto, localized in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, and to producers from a milk mini-plant... |
